Well I've gone and done it now!

[noddy2]

Have gone and bought a replacement for the Sag, hope I dont regret it.
After ten years with TVR's its going to seem odd to put my car up for sale, my wife thinks I,m mad!(I already know that)
Men don,t get attached to cars like this do they!!

[tvrtuscans]

So what have u bought?

[noddy2]

Aston V8 Vantage.

When you coming round
Keep the Sag too, then MRS Noddy will be happy too.

[noddy2]

Going to collect on Tues 28th, so you might hear me arrive home, can't keep both cars, would be nice! For some reason Mrs Noddy doesn't understand the need to scratch an itch.

My ears and eyes will be on full alert. I think one of those is the only thing that would get me from a TVR, I would have to widen the gate post though.

I bought my Sag from a guy in Huddersfield who then moved to an AMV8. He loves the car and its daily driveability, but he (and especially his girlfriend) really miss the uniqueness and the look of awe on peoples faces, not to mention the community of spirit that only TVR ownership brings.

I got my Sag from a guy who moved on to a AMV8, regretted it from day one!

I'm afraid I would agree........nothing quite like a Sagaris....

[Smooth Smith]

Maybe I'm a bit biased & as much as I like the Vantage, I wouldn't have one over a Sag.

Hope you enjoy it though.

[noddy2]

Got the car home on Tues evening, drove home very cautiousiy until the last twenty miles and then what a noise, I'll keep you posted, can't wait to do it with the top down(no comments please)
Won't do anything with mine till January.Definately won't be abandoning the TVR-Pistonheads community.

This post is no good without pictures, even if it is an aston,lol.

[noddy2]

Will try and post some pics asap!

[hairyaardvark]

Would be interested to hear your opinion of the AM compared with the Sagaris, once you've had it for a while. I was considering this exchange myself ... but in the end I went for a Nissan GTR instead, which I love. Nothing like the sound of the Sag though!!

[Englishman]

Driven both the 4.3 and 4.7 and recently been thinking about changing the Griff for a 4.7 AMV8 Conv, but never the Sag. Definitely interested in your experiences.

To upload multiple pics you need to press enter between each pic upload otherwise it only shows the first one for some reason.

Nice Aston btw
