Autocar Sagaris Review

[Plotloss]

I havent, but I bet my bile duct it will effectively read:

Huge performance for price, QA issues will be the biggest problem. Something about a racing series and a summing up written in an overly excited schoolboy manner...

Let me know too!!

A scan would be nice to

What Sagaris review? There was an article on it the other week, but nothing more than has been printed elsewhere. As for this week, its BMW wall to wall... not a sniff of a Sagaris (or am I being daft?).

All that I could find on their website:

December 30, 2003
It looks a very good year
Category: Model news
A quick glance at the What's Coming When section of Autocar (page 12) and I'm looking forward to 2004 already. There's a 200mph TVR arriving in April called the Sagaris - no doubt, we'll do 200mph in it and let you know what it feels like. Hairy, probably.

And no mention of it in this weeks magazine:
• First pictures of BMW's £70k, 500bhp, M6 Supercoupe
• Munich's One for the road revealed: M1 to get 300bhp plus
• Audi's revised A4 squares up to its executive car park rivals
• Ford's Focus road tested: how much better can the best get?

...and "strange" side porting exhausts...

Supersonic, thanx for the scans, can't get the magazine over here.

Not really a 'review', is it?

[_deejay_]

The information provided sounds out of date though...
I thought the electronically controlled vents had been dropped? They also reference the 19" wheels on the prototype, then show pictures of the Spiders. Are they 19" spiders, or are they just referring to the custom made 19's which appeared on the first Typhon (and won't fit the Sagaris properly)?

Page 1, in the headline text,

"most exiting TVR yet"

But its only just made its entrance!

Was I misinformed? Thought Autocar had a road test ready. Poo. Made we wonder consider the factory is holding on tight to everything until ready to realease vehicles and publicity. But why offer one to a silly reality tv show and not to the press?

The car in the TV show was the 2003 show car and was filmed last year.
