RE: TVR Sagaris

Lucky you if you don't want one. Pity the rest of us who think it's the coolest car they've ever seen and have ordered one in a moment of madness. Still I think £50k is going to look a bargain when it's sitting outside my house. Personally I preferred the OTT back end of the prototype. Smoothing things out is all a bit of an unsagaris thing to do. I'm now losing sleep over the colour? I just don't know what to do!!!! Thanks pistonheads for the photos! Brilliant job and much appreciated for those of us with orders!

i wont pity you. Its a fantastic headturning car that will have superb performance and ability. It just doesnt do it for me in the looks department, as my chimaera doesnt do it for griff owners. one man's meat and all that...

colour wise I think a car this aggressive needs an aggressive colour, nothing too flashy. I think the dark greys/titaniums look good, especially with dark wheels.

[the pits]

Me too, the trouble is there are about 1000 slightly different titanium type colours out there. I could have phantom silver to match my bike, or slightly darker, honda s2000's silverstone colour is nice.... you get the picture. Black would look hard as nails but my current car is black and despite my best efforts is covered in stone chips and scratches! Oh the agony of choice!

[ehasler]

I reckon the Sagaris needs a simple colour like black, bright red or silver as there's already a lot going on with the details on the body work. Saying that, I think it would look awesome in Cascade Copper!

[flooritforever]

Ah so this is one of TVR's 'new' cars. Very nice .

But to my eye it looks a hell of a lot like a reworked T350C.....

[Plotloss]

On the colour front its got to be black, black leather and black wheels...

Anything else will be selling it short.

It looks like the car the devil drives to work would be churlish to paint it anything other than 'evil in a can'

[ehasler]

Of course, you'd need a few red bits in the interior - just to make it look even more

Now where have I seen that colour scheme before

I also reckon bright (Dog Knob as Michael Caine calls it) red with black wheels and dark interior would work well too.

yeah thats my thoughts. Lets face it, its not really a pretty car in the typical sense. its feckin mean! so it needs a mean colour. All black would look superb. Or Ed's colour scheme from his tuscan - black, black wheels, red interior

[shnozz]

at me and Ed posting that at the same time.

[Plotloss]

Yeah bit of red, I do agree, would make the black even more black but I think one would have to be very restrained, just highlights.

[penelopepitstop]

I think it looks absolutely fantastic in the red.....drool...

[white_van_man]

mmmmm that looks lovely in red

Well you better hope my job works out then hadn't you!.....we can discuss the colour later (It really wouldn't do to have a red Griff and a red Sagaris now!

So where do I sign up for one of these Sageandonions then?

Great minds and all that!

Looks good but dare i say it very very 911 ish , i want to see a side view

[lucozade]

nice front and side profile but the back end looks terrible. Those exhausts look so out of place.

[woody]

What about 'Blue Cascade' as SXS's cerbera?

Or a 'purple' type colour?

[DustyC]

Its ok but they really should build my Sagris Racer


HERE if it doesent work.

you do yourself a dis-service .

The car, whilst not my cup of char, is stuning though . Prefer the Typhon for looks though, but that is a slightly different market IMHO.
