A single car will do! Failing that, there's always the back home tour. I don't think TVR are very keen about non-buyers from looking round the factory on an ad-hoc basis. They certainly don't go to any effort to make the factory a touristy type environment. e.g they have lots of disregarded old prototypes rotting in the yard, no reception to speak of etc etc.

Hey the queue is building. Thinks I`m going for Chameleon Purple, but need to see it close up, again, saw DG02 GJV for sale last summer and love that colour. But want to make sure I match the trim, I saw the one at Motor show in NEC this May, that was silver, it was OK but needs a bit more punch. I have just sold my Tuscan Speed Six (Purple Illusion) to dealer in Derby (who was at the show). I am now empty and yearning for speed.
I looked at Sagaris and had to toss a coin, love the "Batmobile" Look. I liked the idea that they have slightly softened the ride on the new Tuscan2 and still prefer the smooth lines, love the new subtle front and rear spoilers. I wonder how many of you I can fit in my sandwich box on factory tour day?
I have been told it could be ready for September, that is why they want me to go to factory to get trim and colour picked. I have chassis number already.
DJ are you buying a Sagaris?

I've put a deposit down on a Sagaris, but I'm still undecided whether I should get one or just get a t350. Hopefully, I'll be able to ascertain exactly where the extra cash goes at some point between now and speccing one.
Due to work commitments, I cannot have another fun car for 12 months so I've plenty of time to decide...
Purple sounds nice - I can't decide whether I like the new Tuscan but it certainly looks better in darker colours IMHO.
