Didn't see another Sagaris. Only other TVRs i saw were a Tuscan Challenge car and a Tuscan LeMans Endurance Series race-car.

I know they're making a few race cars... but the forums are full of rumours that TVR are dumbing down the looks of the Sagaris. If they do, it'll be a real shame.

whilst on the phone to the factory the other day the production manager told me the vents and the holes are still there and they would be fitting metal mesh screen behind them to stop debris flying through and not the foam as seen at the motor show
prehaps some one else should ring and confirm this!!!

Brilliant because I thought the foam looked cheap and spoilt the look.

Is'nt it interesting how everyone is so enthusiastic about the Sagaris now.

When the first piccies appeared on PH, it got the biggest slating I've ever known for a single TVR.

Fantastic looking car!

Yes, if they'd just move out of the way, we could see it better.

Saw it in Autocar and then at B'ham and I wasnt impressed at either events. Frankly the B'ham show was the first time Ive been on a TVR stand and thought everything looked w@nk and wtf had happened to my company? It looked like the Max Power brigade with blind designers had been let loose.

Im slowly changing my mind about the Sagaris. However, it needs to be purposeful. The vents need to stay, they need to have a use though. It needs to come in a non glitzy colour, have race harnesses fitted and it needs to bite. TVR has gone way to bling recently, too much form, not enough function.

If anybody orders a Sagaris in one those pearlescent, metallic though, then the bling is back.
