The Saggy bonnet looks a massive improvement.
What's the story with the wheels - are they the same 19" wheels that the original prototype had (which wouldn't fit the arches so could not be ordered)?

They are, and were fitted to the candy apple red Saggy when it was first shown.
I ordered one at Le Mans and was told they'd be an option, but it transpired they would not fit properly so weren't made available.
However, the don't look to fill the arches that much, so maybe they're offering 18' versions of them now?
the saggy bonnet looks good but i wish it was hinged at the front. never much liked rear hinged bonnets for high speed driving but it looks better than the current solution. I wonder if it can be retro fitted or will original saggy's like mine be worth more to the purist?!
I don't mind the rear exhausts but side exit are way cooler.
wheels look cool but I love the anthracite spiders.
interesting update is the use of proper sparco bucket seats, I'd like to see some pictures of those if available. I imagine they work well.

It surely is about time that pile of sh** personal steering wheel was binned. It detracts from an otherwise tasty motor. Put a momo trek on it for gods sake. It is the little aesthetic bits that set off a car. If you are spending £50,000 on a TVR what is the reason for no ally stalk tops and a decent steering wheel. It IMHO is the difference between a good interior complementing a drop dead gorgeous car and a Ford Fiesta with a TVR body fitted. Rant over!But it would stop me from buying another and other TVR owners I know think the same. What about you?

Agree about the indicator stalks.
Don't like the rear exit exhaust on the Sag. Looks like a step backwards from the side exit design which was much more original and distinctive IMHO.
i think they have done a good job with the Sag. the new bonnet looks good but i would still prefer it rear hinged. the new exhaust lay out i'm not so sure about yet though 
but it is great that they are keeping the side exit 'zorsts as an option.
i read in autocar this week that the Sag has a redesigned interior. is this true? anyone got any pics of it if it is?

Not keen on hinged bonnet option: not that I spend that much time under it, but when I do I prefer a clear deck.
Wouldn't buy a rear exit exhaust - the original design is the original design, IMO it softens up a hard act.
Also, having driven an '06 model recently didn't like it at all, practically a Mark II Sagaris. Prefer the March '05 set up. And completely agree with the anthracite wheel option.
And as for the second rate stalks etc, it completely downgrades the interior. Looks really crap.

The alloy stalk covers are an option, I ordered them on my Tuscan 2, but they were not fitted when I collected it due to shortage of supply.
