TVR Sagaris to feature on TV

Documentary shows villains trying to nick it.

---

TVR's new race-bred model the Sagaris is to feature in a TV documentary. Using ex-villains and ex-police officers, the programme, called The Heist, gets the villains to pretend to attempt to steal the car -- though what the outcome is, TVR spokesman Ben Samuelson was unable to say. "All will be revealed when you see the programme", he said.

He didn't comment on the suggestion that it was a test to see how good TVR car security is.

The programme is on at 9pm, C4, Tuesday 14 December 2004.

Perhaps they got in, only to find that the 500th Sagaris had just been shipped out!


Egg on yer face!

[oppressed mass]

Perhaps they didnt actually break in to it, preferring to just slide in through panel gaps...

[goo-goo-gjoob]

Perhaps they steal it and then the cops chase them in a Typhon!

Someone please record it and post on here.

Looks like some b----rds already had mine away, I was supposed to get it in October. ( Thats 2004 for all you smart a--es out there.)
Wouldn't like to be caught nicking (no pun) a Saggy- arse, its cold in them thar salt mines!

[Mr Fix It]

easy to get in but probably would not be able to get out of it, unless it was a dry day, slammed the doors shut, tweeked the solenoid, wind was blowing in the right direction etc etc

[PetrolTed]

Perhaps they read about the secret entrance on here

[ehasler]

Or maybe they're still working out what colour to have it painted, and how to trim it!

"Can you colour match this swag bag?

[tvrdrool]

So they break in and steal it, how far before they need a breakdown service or engine rebuild? and as for inconspicuous..... it's hardly a stealth bomber

Find car = 30 seconds.
Break into car = 45 seconds.
Attempt to drive off = 10 seconds.
Wait for engine to be fitted into car = 6 months.

Shouldn`t be a problem,if there`s only one then there won`t be any call for secondhand parts.Maybe it`s got a fully paid up Tracker subsription-don`t even go there!!And no she never got the car back.
Programme should be worth watching though-hope Lady Sagaris polished up well after all that totty sprawling across her at Max Power.

I sat in the one at the Clarkson DVD shoot at Dunsfold.
its awesome inside - like being in the chillout room of a night club. Only problem was i could NOT get out!!
Totally weird no handles!! Everybody laughing!! Finally got told where the button was.
Much prefer the prefered exit of my Wedge........hold handle and shoulder barge

Highlight of my motorshow
Sitting in the show car!

And then to have it locked and the next ounter refused - oh I felt part of the "jungle"

[CraigAlsop]

So is Ben TVR spokesman now?
I thought he had been moved to other things....

[gemini]

seems to be "back"

[AndrewD]

LOL

I suppose they could just turn up with an AA truck and tow it away and nobody would think anything out of the ordinary!
