Well after scratching the T car itch with the T350 i think its time to move on, the car was originally only bought due to the length of time the Griff project was taking and me not wanting to face another summer without a TVR + the great spec, and the fact i have not been able to part with the car up till now speaks volumes for what an amazing package it is!
It took me a while to get used to the SP6 after the V8's but i have to say i've really fallen for the way it screams its head off & with sports pipes and de-catted it has to be one of the best sounding cars on the planet period[ made 126db spitting flames @ PH SS second only to some crazy lambo]
Looks wise i think it has to be one of the cleanest designed cars TVR made resembling a drop of water leaving a tap better than most with one of the sexiest arses in the businessbiggrin
Thanks to everyone whose helped me with the car over the last 18 months and if anyones after a very sorted 4lt Red Rose fully loaded with all the good bits give Str8six a call!
I've also just waved goodbye to the M5 this morningyikes & CL55 goes next week so watch this space smile

Ok guys i confess the combination of a Reflex Charcoal Sag with a 4.3 str8six engine and virtually every mod i would ever want was just to much to resist biglaugh
The car is a real credit to the previous owners who have got it to pretty much where i would want a Sag to be so it was a no brainer really!
And after my experience with the T350 i knew i wanted to keep an SP6 road car so its just been about waiting for the right one.
The only downer was saying goodbye to that lovely V10 although i wont miss the depreciation or the 16mpg or waking up in the middle of the night wandering if the ODB port was being accessed frown
Only problem is i dare not tell the wife she is the proud owner of another TVR until after christmas or it might be my head on the chopping block not the Turkeys wink

Hopefully see you in it at spa next year!

I know this car very, very well. I can't believe Paul let this car go after everything he has done to it. It's a peach of a car and a very well sorted Sag!!!!!

Well done Christian and enjoy matey. That number plate reminds me of a beautiful F1 SAG that I know. All you need is to treat her to an F1 GREEN paint job.biggrin

Speaking from experience i know paul is going to love the LS3 Tuscan as 500bhp just does not get boring & the car looks very special wink

First time i saw a Sag in Reflex Charcoal it stopped me dead in my tracks so to be honest i've been stalking one for a while!

Clive would love to catch up and talk exhausts especially with your recent work, the car has the full ACT system but i'm thinking of TD's so would be good to hear your set up & talk silencers?

Would also like to know what tyres people are running on the Jade R's ? Do 888's fit? T595R?
I have a set of SP12 on 888's from the T350, is the Sag offset the same, as these would do for a track combo?

I have a carbon Imola seat from the T350 that i was planning on getting re-trimmed to the sag colours but not sure if the cabin size is identical between the two? I suppose this would effect the Aluminium cross bar and harness's as well?

Depends - are they Jade Rs or Power Jade Rs. There is a difference between the two, and hence tyre sizing.
