Anyone ever seen a White Sag ?

[mrmop]

Simple question really, love White TVR's and think the Sag is the only thing that might persuade me to upgrade the Cerb.

[PinkPanther]

Never seen or heard of a white sag - be interesting to see one though. Must admit the thought of a white cerb wasn't that appealing but seeing the one in your profile soon changed that - looks .

Out of interest what alloys have you put on the Cerb?

[LivingItNow]

Yep! Today in final assembly at the factory.

Same shade as the BMW Mini White; i.e., slightly 'off white'. Going to some one in Holland!

IMO: Looks crap!!!

Would probably need to be a pearl white or a very clean white to work well.

I'd like a pure white Griff ! are there any out there for sale?

Yes I strongly agree, I think it would look good with silver rims and black spoke wheels, with the rear spoiler in black too, also with a few other pieces in jet black, such as the mirrors and rear lower spoiler. I got my inspiration from this :

P.S. I seen one of them off white Mini coopers today , It was on an 06 car and made it look 10 year old

Its called pepper white and its a BMW colour we have painted very few white cars over the years maybe 30 in 20 years and as yet we have not painted a white sag the best white i have seen on a tvr was
old english white this is also a creamy white it was on an old s, but it was not a factory finish

There was a white Sag on the production line during yesterdays factory tour. It looked stunning, just slightly 'old-english' creamy white. It still had the wing covers on it, but i've got a photograph and you can see that it will look the mutts....

I've no way of hosting pictures, but if somebody Emails me, i'll forward the picture..

We saw a sagaris at a dealers on saturday in Pool in Wharfedale it was a flip colour, looked white or very pale silvery colour, that changed in the light to various other colours, didn't have a great look as it was in passing, but it looked fab.

[b2tus]

At the risk of looking a "right plonker Rodney", what is "flip" paintwork and how did it get the name? Saw it on another thread and

[targarama]

Looks quite nice.

There is something wrong with that picture - the floor looks far too clean. Either they cleared up for the visitors or things really are being organized and looked after better at the factory.

The place looked really clean and tidy for the whole tour. I'm not sure if this was because of the recent suppressed production volumes (previous lay-offs etc) or because of the visits, but the whole place felt much more organised than the last time i was there (1992 ).

There were some lovely cars getting finished off, both in left hand, and right hand drive forms, and the parts cages all looked well stocked which must be a positive sign.

I was on the factory tour yesterday and noticed there were a few left hookers on the production line, was so caught up taking photos etc did'nt get a chance to ask our tour guide why the left hand Saggys don't have the roof hump... anyone know why...?

And looked to be securely locked..D'oh...

"flip" paint is just a way of describing a pearlescent colour that changes colour or appears different in certain light. there are endless combinations but TVR "flip" colours are usually Cascade, Chameleon, Reflex, Nebula, Spectraflair and semi solid colours that appear to "glow". they are all beautiful IMO my particular favourite is cascade copper
here are a few links to some pics of TVR's in various Flip colours just to demonstrate how wondeful and diverse they are -

Is spectraflair the white coloured one? If so, that is the colour I saw

[forthright MC]

i think the one you saw was spectraflair silver. the base coat is a light silver and in some light the other colours in it make it appear to be pale white. they do several other Spectraflair colours too including Spectraflair grey and spectraflair copper, which looks absolutely stunning on a Sagaris IMO!

I asked the question on Sunday during the tour reg the roof lump on the left hook cars and was told that it was now and option, but then later on got told that it may be something to do with type approval for abroad?

Could it be something to do with not having a mould for a left hook roof and they are using the T350 roof?
