Where do dealers get their SAG numbers from ?

2005/6 T350Ts, only 8 to 10 cars made.
These are actually the rarest late model TVRs, by some margin.
Followed,by the wavy dash Tuscan Convertibles, 24 ?
All Tuscan Convertibles have wavey dashboards. The think you mean Tuscan 2 Targas post jan'06.These are actually the rarest late model TVRs, by some margin.

T350s were made from 2002 and production stopped in 2005 (except 1 special for Nikolai in 2006), so I'm suprised about T350T , you're correct there weren't many but I don't know the number but with 460 T350s in total I would have thought more.
Ben Lang has 460 T350s.
But,I can only find evidence of a maximum of 84 registered/ sorned T350Ts .Some would be exported from new?So, on top of the 84?
Ben Lang says 46, 2005/6 T350s.Assuming similar percentage Targas, only 9 or 10 cars.
Even if all were Targa's which seems very unlikely,a 2005/6 Targa is much rarer than a Sagaris.

I don't think you can just be selective on a particular year ... A 2003 Chim would be even rarer But,I can only find evidence of a maximum of 84 registered/ sorned T350Ts .Some would be exported from new?So, on top of the 84?

The sad thing is it's very rare to see any TVR on the road these days.
The numbers in the adverts are a little misleading maybe but I expect like most of you I bought one because I loved the wacky styling from the moment I first saw one and because it's a marque that gets under your skin like no other. The fact that it's rare, British and a huge event just to own let alone drive just adds to the experience

Also from DVLA SORN data.
Surprisingly the sum of Registered + SORN equals 169 Sag's in the UK. More than I expected
Probably plus a few more from the 1981 (1210+771) cars in the "Model Missing" category Surprisingly the sum of Registered + SORN equals 169 Sag's in the UK. More than I expected
... Government sites are nearly as bad as TVR at numbers I like the reference to the Cuckoo that joined the nest

So,there are approximately 70 T350Ts, registered and/ or sorned , against 169 Sagaris?
But is a T350T a different model than a T350C ? If it is, then is a Tuscan Convertible S , a different model than a Tuscan Convertible non S ? of course a Tuscan Convertible is a Tuscan Convertible and is definitely not a Tuscan MK2 Targa (either Wavey or Baboons Bum Dash) and where does a Chimaera MK3 sit in the numbers game ... plus "The white elephant" and Tina and T440s and Typhons and etc. etc.and Yes I was at Chatsworth ... STR8SIX supercharged Sag was there too IIRC
And the Sagaris wasn't TVRs last model , the Tuscan Convertible was !!! and as described by James May with Jackie Stewart ...TVRs Swan Song .

Look at the "missing" cars by year of manufacture. There's around a dozen in 2002/2003, but the rest are all 1993 or earlier. ... Government sites are nearly as bad as TVR at numbers https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/tvr_missing#...

But if you look at 1st registered Sags https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/tvr_sagaris#...https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/tvr_missing#...
The total comes to 214 .... which is close to Bens figure , because he included those that had build numbers allocated and not necessarily completed .
And that doesn't include any cars exported ... if any
But my original point , we all must agree there are far more than 98 Sags in existence

Was thinking the same thing about Lotus on Saturday. I live 5 mins from the Lotus factory and was waiting for my daughter to finish her Gymnastics class at Long Stratton. Sitting watching the world go by (well the A140 anyway) for and hour with my coffee on a Saturday lunchtime and not one Lotus passed me, or a TVR for that matter. In fact the only thing of remote interest was a Ferrari FFGassing Station | Tamora, T350 & Sagaris | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
