I understand that was a requirement for Japan as the side exit exhausts were not permitted, so how many were exported to Japan? Just a handful I'd guess, although some may have stayed in the UK as that in your picture isn't a Japanese number plate shape..

It was also part of the MKII which was never built.

Interesting question. It's not been taxed since 2009, but since it's LHD, I guess it would be surprising if it's in the UK. Was it Nick's leaving present to himself?

No Nick doesn't have it. He gave it to a Saudi prince he was dealing with, it had his crest & name stitched into the seats along with customised kickplates. I help push it into the container when it was taken out of the Wesham Barn

Mine's in for a re-trim. I was going to have "TVR" stitched in the headrests but maybe I should have my name...idea

Hi,

I would call it Sagaris MK 2. What I know: The last 3 Sagaris produced in the company got the modified exhaust/rear (like the picture shows), one piece bonnet, special seats, special rims....One was registered PE56 TXC...I`m the lucky owner of the last one...

Any photos ? as I prefer the rear facing exhaust rather than the side facing ones, would like to see the one piece bonnet and any other mods

A Sagaris with the rear facing exhaust doesn't necessarily have the one piece bonnet...so you can't call it an MK2.

I like the mods , the exhaust is far better might be a bit too big for me but that's my opinion, bonnet looks better, seats look like they will hold you in place better , wheels look good too

Very nice! I always thought it was just the one car!

Do you mind sharing how you came to own it? Was it ordered from the factory and pure luck in timing before the collapse?

Hi,


found the car offered on pistonheads some years ago when the euro was very weak...decided that it would be more sure to buy a TVR Sagaris than to have Euros on a bank account...think the decision was right...cool

With the rear bumper reprofiled like that it somewhat reminds me of a Tuscan 2, the lights in particular! (IMO)
