I'm seriously thinking about putting an order in for a Sagaris but not to next year for financial reasons, and I can't part with the Griff, that'll be a big problem also.
I remember TVR were saying that they were only going to make X numbers of cars, is this true, or just woffle?
The reason I ask is, if they get popular maybe there won't be any left for me.

So, leave one for me please.

they're claiming to make no more than 500 of any car from now on. Although this is really just a bit of a marketing jape, albeit not bad one.

Firstly as far as I know there aren't yet 500 t350's and they've been in production for quite a while, at least two years now it would seem. It's unlikely the Sagaris will sell in much greater numbers so you should be OK. Secondly again this is vague at best but I'd heard there were over 100 orders for the Sagaris and that was said some time ago. There were 20 dealer demo's made and I was told my car was in the 30's ie in the next batch of twenty. My car is in the dealer now and there are a few customer cars out on the roads so at the most there can only be 60 or so Sagari around this spring. My guess is that they'll build all the orders easily this year but if it gets good reviews the numbers can only go up.

Personally I'd love it if they were all sold out but I think that would surprise TVR themselves!

The other thing to consider is that once they've done the 500, they'll just off the Sagaris 2 which could be even better! There is rumour of a lighterweight stripped down road racer with open wheelarch vents in the pipeline!
