Last Sagaris built at Bristol Avenue

[RayVonn]

I keep seeing the classified ad for the Laser Blue Sag at Cecil's Merc's and just wondered if anyone (probably ex-TVR) knows if it genuinely is the last one finished at the old factory, or indeed if it is just 'dealer speak'?

Not that I am interested in buying this particular car myself, but a family member may be.

Thanks

Nope not the last one built. That was advertised as that when the supposed 'move' was happening to the other location in blackpool but then the factory stayed where it was.

Hi

I suppose all those unfinished ones, including Funky's, will be the last ones built at Bristol Avenue if and when they are finished and if they are actually finished in situ and not moved elsewhere to be finished - if you see what I mean. Could be a million pound question on 'Who Wants to be a Millionnaire' someday.

Should have been removed as I am pretty sure that Nikolais wifes left hand drive blue Sagaris was the last one as it was being PDI'd on the last day the factory was open- I was there!

Bobd,

Something to tell the grand-children.

What blue was it and what was the interior spec, etc? I like to know these things - just in case it turns up in the local rag's classifieds - one Russian Junior Oligarch's wife's car, etc.

So it isn't the last at all, although it's fair to say that it is probably one of the last. Also, it doesn't look like a 2007 spec car ie: rear facing exhausts, proper washer jets, etc... which if it was the last car, I would expect it to be 2007 spec.

To be fair i don't think many if any 07 were built. Anyway despite what they were saying there was feck all changed in the 07's only wrong facing exhausts and a sports seat! Other then that even though they claimed to be 'upgrading interior leather quality' and other such white lies when i asked what else exactly was coming with the 07 i got many many different answers from people at the factory trying to sell the 07 (not the workers ) and those answers were always different. That's why i insisted on an 06 with 06 price

Also that 'Last Sagaris' was for sale back in september so it's build date would have probably been more like july/august.

Jay,
the car was a metallic blue medium maybe lotus, but not as light as the red bull blue. Bonnet was the new lift up hinged job, exhausts rear facing, interior sparco black leather and washer jets scuttle mounted.
Hope this answers your questions
