Looks quite nice that, been retrimmed by the looks. Anyones here?
Market seems a bit strange at the minute STR8six seems to be knocking cars out for fun as does James Agger on the other side of that there appears to be a few Sags/T350 that have been touted around for a couple of years now and are unsold.

Currently 14 Sags/T350's on Pistonheads at the moment - which would you lean towards?

I think someone used it or was going to to sell his Chim. It seems good for the seller but not for the buyer.

None really, if I was forced it would be one of the T350's

The platform seems to be starting to openly baseline some car prices (675LT at £40k under dealer prices for example, IIRC). Will be interesting to see what happens...

i would have thought a Sagaris was a TVR enthusiasts car and I'm not sure a TVR enthusiast would go straight to that site if they were in the market to buy one . Your post here will have definitely helped it's exposure. Bit suprised PH have allowed it smile .

You might be surprised.... As for the post staying up, CC posts have been stopped on on other sub-forums due to other reasons....

I do hope that an enthusiast gets it rather than a collector and they can use this very valuable resource of knowledge.

Seems strange as to why the owner went to the bother of putting it on the auction, may as well have just gone to STR8six. Reading the bumpf on the website the 6% commission will have had to be paid anyway??

I'm guessing a strong reserve on the site...

My understand is that the commission is paid by the buyer, not the seller. That's what they have told me as a prospective seller anyway.

It's a website, which acts as an online auction house for specialist cars. The person who originally created PistonHeads is involved with it.

Edit: For the avoidance of doubt, it is not in any way associated with PistonHeads which is now owned by CarGurus and therefore notionally actually in competition with Collecting Cars.

Yeah I read that but without turning it into a cc thread they seem to suggest that once registered with them someone is paying the commission, either the buyer if sold through their site or the seller if they dont sell through the site.
I only gave it all a cursory skim after looking through all the pics
Nice reduced one at Castle if you're after one
