i have always had a thing for TVR - i think i still will for any future cars... British built or not, their heritage dates back here...

everything which would make me shun a new one. horses for courses and all that.

as for the usable interior, i don't understand that comment.

Strewth you must be my exact opposite. I think TVR interiors (90's onwards) are the best in the world and I bought a TVR to avoid TC, ABS etc.

Horses and their courses I guess.

The interior designs are some of the best around bar non, but the intrior was a little to small for my liking, adding a couple of inches to the width would have made a huge difference and somewhere to store things was always my issue.

As for the comments about abs and TC , i want a car i can run everyday with no hassles, having NO abs is just silly for a road car. I would want the TC to be able to be turned off as and when i like.

TVR of old where great, exciting and still can be again, but the game has moved on.

The V8V will always be the better every day car, mine gets used daily.

But would like to see something a little more raw than the V8V. But also you cant buy a new V8V for 70,000, this to me represents good value for money imo

I would never be in a position to buy one new, I've alway bought 2/3 year old cars.
But if a 2/3 year V8 Sag was on the market 18 month ago I wouldn't have modded my Griff and would have bought a V8 Sag in a heart beat.

Hmmm - depends.... What car are they offering?

If it is a Sag with an LS engine then I am not sure. It seems like a model that is at the end of its life rather than at the beginning (says me with a late Cerbera). Although an LS Sag I am sure would be (is) superb.

If however they are offering new models for £70K ish that are much more than a face lift and LS conversion then I might be up for it in a year or two (but I would struggle to avoid other great cars that can be bought for similiar money).
