This is a well known local Sag and still for sale. Solid 4.5 engine and ECU upgrade, one owner from new. Makes me wish I didn't sell my Sag back in Feb 2014. Sold within 4 hours of advertising on PH to a keen TVR enthusiast in New Zealand! My first Sag ended up in Switzerland.
Also features in the Top Gear episode where they drive the Lotus, Jenson and S2 to Hethlel, West Bromwich and Blackpool (its in the background when their at the factory)
Sounds good

He will regret selling that, don't do it.

I'm a victim of Pistonheads! I have a T350C 4.3 which a thread on PH suggests is not a nice TVR (it is), so it's not getting enquiries. So I wonder if people are so dumb, as to believe what they read....

And then I read about Sagaris values hitting major money this year? And yes, I am so dumb, I just don't know what I should be asking for my Sagaris?

40k! I'll get a deposit to you ASAP wink

BTW - I have no idea why the 4.3 hasn't sold. It's a stonking engine and the colour is great and the price is less than a number of non-rebuilt standard engine cars so it's certainly one that would be on my shortlist.

I would have thought so too, regarding that T350.

I have read elsewhere that the 4.3 may be out of warranty. Isn't that also the case for standard 10 year old 3.6's? In any case, which would be the better bet, a fairly recent 4.3 with better spec parts and more power to boot, or an untouched 3.6?
Couldn't the 4.3 warranty be extended if Dom inspected it?

James , get SPRINT to give you a valuation. They know a lot more than dealers like yourself. laugh

Hi Chris - Interesting idea and I might give Dom a call. It is out of TVR Power warranty, but comes with TVR MADS warranty. And I'd much rather have a known TVR engine specialist rebuilt car than an untouched car. I figure Dom was willing to warrant my T430C back in the day, so the engine should be good for 65-75k+ miles from the time of rebuild, depending how driven/serviced and hopefully much further? Unless the leakdown results were exceptional, I wouldn't want to buy a 2005-2006 untouched car over 55k miles; a 2003-2004 over 45k miles; etc etc.
Hi crm - Still unsure...
Hi Zippee, PuffsBack, LotusE, soad and Topper - Thanks for the bids. I had to google what a gourd was though.
