'Flawless service record' ? - it's had 4 services in 13 years ?
Likewise, those Goodyear Eagle GSD3s went out of production around 10 years ago, hence with just 5000 on the clock, there is a high chance those are the original 13 year old tyres?Edit - GSD3 not GSD3!

This garage is quite local to me, and a regular in the 'Seriously Overpriced' thread, they really do like to push the envelope on their prices of anything 'rare' but their stock does change so they must be selling something to someone for 'some' money. 
When I was looking for the Vantage their prices were more expensive than the main dealer for cars that IMHO weren't prepped that well.

They are all flawed in the handling department due to the chassis. No amount of money spent on suspension will change that. However I love everything about them even the smell!
Do you think that includes the Sag? (And to a lesser extent the T350)It was very well reviewed against its peers at the time.

Both right really but the T350 and Sag were much better handling cars than the Griff/Chimp.
Yes but still hugely flawed as my Tuscan 2S was Byker28i said:

Yep, was at HHC for a while and for less!
£72k from memory?Being brutally honest, when your out to spend over £100k on a car you just aren’t ever going to be inspired to do so at any of the traditional TVR vendors. They are geared for the other end of the market.

Not as forgiving or as fluid as a lotus or Porsche though.
£ 100k . Comparing this to the modern classic market especially what cosworths, 911's, Ferrari then not suprising.
Comparing though to T350's Tuscans at under half the price seems expensive.

I think the same could be done for other models and probably will in the future. A perfectly presented TVR of any type is still a very attractive vehicle.

Almost single-handedly Str8Six championed the Sagaris, started prepping them to absolute perfection and advertising them in an attractive manner for a highish price. And in that tiny market, it worked.

I think they have already started doing it with other models like the Griff .. I've seen two they have/ are marketing at £45KI think the same could be done for other models and probably will in the future. A perfectly presented TVR of any type is still a very attractive vehicle.
I’m a huge TVR fan, but seriously, I think this is overpriced.
However, the caveat would be, could you find another with such low mileage?
But the caveat t that is that if you drive it much, it becomes the same as any other Sag.
Would I buy it?
No, and the reason being I’d look to be buying from one of thr acknowledged TVR specialists who know the cars, offer a warranty that will be correct for the car that it is etc.
Parkway is a 5 min walk from my mums place, and I’ve popped in a handful of times.
Some of the cars are well prepped, some are not to the standard one would expect, but I guess that holds true of most places to be fair.
As for prices, I agree that they are at the top end of the market plus 10%+, But like 4star Classics (whom I often wonder if they are sponsors of PH, their stock appears so often) or KGF, they seem to be pushing the envelope and then some.
I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking (and waits for the sighs) in thinking you could get a bloody nice Ferrari 328 qV, or a 911 Turbo for the same money. Ok, the driving experience in both of those examples is vastly different, but even as a TVR lover I think I’d rather have one of those...
