Sag Convertible

[Olgit]

Nice looking Sag convertible (Tuscan conversion) on ebay at £30k

[Podie]

Lovely colour - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-Sagaris-Convertible-...

Shame the interior hasn't been converted...

That was that stunt driver Terry Grant one.

Last sold by RP if I remember.

Would be interesting to see what state the engine was in...

[Comet]

It looks fantastic! If only TVR held on for that little bit longer..................

Sorry, I should remember the answer but don't. Does this run the track/suspension pick-ups of a Sagaris or is the body narrowed to that of a T-car?

[clive f]

believe the suspension and wishbones etc are Sagaris, plasticman on here did the body work.

[alex_gray255]

Yeah, it's not a factory made - Tuscan Mk1 donor + Sag front shell.

Looks nice.

Would have thought it is on standard tuscan suspension, looking under a sag, the wishnones are the same , just the pickup points drilled further out.

Still prefer the tamora based sag conversions....

Pity it's only a 3.6cc though

[SteveSPG]

very nice, ive watched it develop on the threads here.

for me, a "proper" soft top wins though....griff/tam/chim......

[B17NNS]

Like that a lot.

What colour is that - does anyone know?

[Druid]

Happy to be 'on my own' but I don't like the look of any Sag Vert. It just doesn't work for me.

Ad says candy apple pearl.

Expensive paint.

Now that looks a little odd IMO. Saw one at Chatsworth that just did not work...again IMO.

At £30k there is a lesson here and it’s the same lesson that you find in any classic or desirable car….the more you modify to make it something it’s not the more the money spent on mods is wasted.

There is a fine line between style and fashion and between design and aesthetics.

Don’t put blue lights on the undercarriage of a Michelangelo its just ugly.....or some similar analigy

[ackbullchang]

Don't agree with the above. The aesthetics of this really work for me! If only I had a spare £30 bags!

I think you need to view it as a £30k Tuscan and not a Sag. As such it blows that theory.

[JLF]

I just think the design of the Sagaris is purposeful, tight and aggressive. The Tuscan is more GT, larger in appearance with an interior that matches.

There was a blue one at Chatsworth that had the Sagaris purposeful look and the GT interior of the Tuscan and the fact the roof was open just accentuated the confusion. …just did not work as a whole.

Now this is a bit controversial, I thought the Vulcan did not work as a whole. The square display was out of character with the curves of the car and the interior. The display the one thing you spend your time looking at.

Yep don’t disagree. Just not one thing nor the other. £30k is a good price for a Tuscan but a poor price for a Sag…so I guess it’s about right for a bit of this and a bit of that.

I'll join you in the lonely corner if I may
