Looks a lot of Sagaris for the money, does the price reflect car being in Germany?

Also looks like the Fernhurst Sagaris that was factory standard has sold for a lot more money, are factory standard cars the most sort after?

Weird, where did E300's post from this morning go to?

I've made Oli an offer so fingers crossed he'll reply this morning. It'd be nice to bring one back home, and it is very similar to my Tuscan in terms of spec so I'd sell that over the summer.

biggrin
Deleted it hoping thread would go quiet to give me a chance to get over to Germany wink

Was the Fenhurst one a grey colour? But actually called a shade of blue?

Sold for £10,000 more than the 4.3 Sagaris that's for sale in Germany.

Sorry guys,

but how far away from a standard car is my Sagaris ? There are no modifications to the bodywork or the interior. All the original parts are here, so in half a day you could bring back the car to 'standard specification'. The Original Spider Wheels, the original exhaust, even the original dampers are all here. But who wants 9 year old Bilsteins, if he can have nearly new Nitrons ? Is there anyone who decides for the old plastic airbox over the carbon one from ACT ? Do you really want to hassle around with the bad original Lambda setup when you can have a reliable one ?
And I think a nearly new 4.3 is always better then an old 4.0 original engine. And you don't see any difference from the outside.
And sorry for the clean and tidy engine compartement and underbody, which isn't original. Original seems to be dirty and rotten.
So I think the discussion about original spec or not doesn't fit for my car.
This is the cars look only with the original wheels:
Have to agree with the above it's not like it's had a engine transplant or halfords add-ons and the mods are in keeping with what a Sagaris should be IMHO,

Is the engine warranty transferable?

Enquired with Olli about his car yesterday and TBH think it may well be sold as he has a small queue lined up frown

Not sure tbh. After missing out on the Cham green Sag at Str8six at Xmas it made me rethink my plans a bit. The Cerbera is really beginning to get under my skin and I'm thinking I'm going to keep it long term....which means I don't have space for a Sag currently.

The Sagaris is to me the best looking TVR and encapsulates all the visual lunacy that I love......but I prefer the drive of my Cerb and only recently have I begun to appreciate that side a lot more.

I guess also not spending another £50k sharpens the mind a bit too smile

Good luck in your search. If you're interested in a very low mileage 55 plate spectralflair silver Sag I can put you in touch with someone.
Thanks but have just put a deposit on one smile

Nice one here,

Also when looking for a Sagaris for myself was told about a black Sag that might be coming up for sale that is currently at spautomotive in Chester having a full respray just to tidy it up, was told owner might take a offer on it before it goes into the showroom at trackvroad.

Happy hunting smile

Super thanks
No problem I wanted to go and see it early March but they hadn't started on it then, from memory it belongs to a long term Tvrcc member and has got 48k on clock and is standard apart from Nitrons, it has full service history, air con and has been looked after by trackvroad all it's life who I believe have a very good reputation, it was one I was interested in but I couldn't wait so bought another one instead, it also came with silver wheels and original dampers, I also got the impression the owner wasn't that fussed about selling it and was happy enough just to sit on it while it appreciates, still might be worth a shout before it ends up in a showroom for top dollar.

I also have details of a few other private sales that I will dig out for you.

How much was this sargaris up for then??

As the advert has expired...
Which one?

The standard ones sold for near £60,000 the 4.3 for just under £50,000 which seemed a right bargain.

PM sent -grateful for any details of others for sale.
All the ones I have details of have now sold apart from the one at sp in Chester.
