If you were planning on 6-7K miles per Year - don't think I've ever seen a Sag with more than 30K on the clock?

Guessing (perhaps optimistically) that because it was factory owned until very recently it will have been extremely well looked after.

Honest opinion? Not worth the money in todays market. Driven on TG? Devalues IMHO.

There's a Sag on PH classifieds for £25k which is more realistically priced.

I don't see it - unless you mean the £27.5k one that has been sold.

Had a Sag for 18 months a Year or so back and I loved it to bits. Had all ofthe above too in the past but the Sag is a very different driving experience in my view - fabulous though all the others are.

Now found out that this particular car does not have any service history, apart from its recent serbvice and new clutch, though (because it was owned by TVR until August last Year). This worries me for the the future.

I also found this info out which certainly put me off the car - you could say that TVR will have loked after it better than any other but with nothing to prove it, its just a risk I was not prepared to take.

The car was also up for sale privately last year for £27.5k (IIRC) and I really cannot see how they can now ask £34k for it, even taking into account a service, clutch and a bit of profit for their time. Also bear in mind the previous owner only had it from Aug 2008 until Nov 2008 (I think when it was purchased by Sebring)

If this is Mr Blue (go and check the sticky at the top of the Sag, 350 etc forum), then it was owned by one of us until quite recently...

I can see the car in there, but the owner isn't listed - except that it says owned by TVR. PN05OUX.

Anyone out there know anything about it?
