Hi There
Dies anybody know/ have any further info on the Sagaris, 22000miles, for sale in Holland.
I will contact the owner but am asking on the forum first.
Regards
Dominic

Loads of threads here about it fella - basically it's a rebuilt crash damaged car, but they won't tell you that. Two different camps on the next part - some say it's fine and perfect, others say it will take a lot of work. It has massively increased in price over the last year or two (around £10k), and the people who have tried to see it/look at it (test drive it) have found the salesman very unhelpful.

Hope that helps...

He's not asking about the Target car Don. He wants to know about the red glow one.

On face value, it does seem to be a bit of a bargain for anyone that can be bothered to go out there and do the deal.

The car was indeed bought by myself from TVR Mads. The car originally had a 3:91 diff in it which I had changed for a 3:73 by Heath at X Works. The car was serviced at X Works prior to my purchase. Engine seemed good and strong and handling good. Never had any issues. The car was traded to Jason at Str8six in exchange for a Tamora. Jason had the rear of the car painted as there was a slight colour miss match from a previous touch up. This was carried out at Surface and Design.
I competed in the back home sprint in the car in Blackpool and you can see this on You Tube entitled Blackpool Sprint 1
I saw the car in its roughest state prior to purchase and there was an excellent chassis and underneath.
Interior was black and carbon leather with red accents.
Car always warmed and cared for in my ownership
Few pictures here.

the wheels were purchased by myself separately from TVR mads and sold separately prior to exchange. The car looks great on the wheels - 19", but in my opinion handles better on 18" wheels.
Wheels are a minor expense when you consider the current cost of a Sagaris.
I have never come across a perfect TVR, but they are what you make them, so wheels, steering wheel, colour change are relatively minor inconveniences.
The carbon leather interior is for me the best interior combined with the black leather, but for me the Formula Red takes the biscuit. If I had kept it thats what I would have done.
Heres a picture of my first Sag. Interior too light for me so the interior of the second Sag with the colour of the first would have been ideal.
Heres a picture if you fancy a colour change!
regards
Bob
