I guess you are right.
I've just never seen one at a track. Whereas half the pitlane is some kind of Porsche/caterham/even BMW

Must be some Sagaris owners who do track days?

You'll only get one of the lesser 6 cylinder TVR's for that sort of money, which you obviously won't want!

A 3.6 speed six will do me just fine though I would prefer the full fat 4 litre, so are you selling?

Before you make a decision you really need 5 mins in a Noble.

Not really for me I'm afraid.

I don't know how they can be so cheap on these cars, as they couldn't compete on any of my other cars.

I have nearly smacked mine up on three occasions on the road. I hate the fact it doesn't have ABS, I find it difficult to drive after dark, due to lack of vision.

I love it, but, I feel a little nervous of it. It's probably because I've never honed my driving skills on the track!?

I don't think many owners do though looking at past Pistonhead threads a green road based racing Sagaris seemed very quick so they must be up to it.

That's good to know Sagman, @Tuxman I thought the Noble was slower than the Sagaris around the Top Gear track?

I vote neither and keep the Esprit.

Will still be keeping it.

Have you looked at any yet?

I'm living with my best friend at present who is a Sagaris owner and we have been to see a few though he is working overseas at present but should be home in New Year when we will start looking again.

Much as I like TVR's...is the Sagaris vfm for the performance they offer?, never driven one but have driven a Tamora, T350 and although not slow were not as brutal as expected.

I'm not after out right performance but more a rewarding driving experience without driving aids and I think this is where the Gt3 and Sagaris excel.

Where did the picture of the green Sag come from? I work for the company advertised on the nose. "Dextra"

Just used pistonheads search "racing-track Sagaris"

It is, unless you go for the M600 version, costing £100,000 or the like!

Edit - The Noble can be modified for bigger power far more easily than the Sagaris though...

Found this on you tube

That green Sagaris did well against a 611Bhp Noble.
