Cat B Sagaris at salvage auction
Discussion
Just a heads up.
As per the title, being cat B its a breaker...so for parts only.
Any interested parties be wary of our friend up in the northeast who places auto bids.

The odd thing about TVRs is that the entire chassis could be replaced relatively easily.
Which makes the classification of cat B a little wrong as there would be no safety implication to returning the car to the road.
The fibre might be a bit easier to do if the front lights were included. Also it looks like the engine might have taken a blow.
One issue is of you do return it to the road what identity would it get? Would it end up with a Q plate unless you re built the engine.

That's had a whack - hope everyone ok. Looks like it was a nice car...Anyone on PH?
Unfortunately this was my P&J that I'd had from new 
It was in A1 condition mechanically and cosmetically, but doesn't look so good now as its been in the rain for a while by the look of it.Accident was in September and involved mounting the concrete end at the start of an Armco which launched it about 20ft into trees, hitting one at the front that rotated it 180 degrees in mid air, the back of the car then hit another and rotated it another 180 degrees and sent the car back to the road landing on the Armco. Witness said he wished he'd video'd it! Police said I was incredibly luckly to get away with cuts and brusies. I'm just glad I'm still here, but it but does show how fundamentally strong our cars are.

Very sorry about the accident, but also very glad no one was injured.

Never thought when raising a "heads" up for any interested parties about buying the sag for spares, that the original owner would be on pistonheads!
there is a Cat C Tamora as well = http://www.copart.co.uk/c2/homeSearch.html?_eventI...
in total they have 3 T cars.........I guess at this time of year these should be in a warm garage vs out on slippery roads hey

Shame about your Sagaris but the important thing is there were no serious injuries - you planning to get another TVR or have you already?

Sorry to read that. You must have been gutted, but it's great to know you escaped with only superficial injuries. Even from those pictures, it is easy to spot that it was very well looked after.
I remember a few years' ago, another P/header, Nubbin actually rolled his Tamora and walked away virtually unscathed! These cars are stronger than many would believe.
Thanks for the empathy everyone, it is genuinely really appreciated, especially from those I've never met in person. The feeling of 'driving' through the air for a few seconds with absolutely no idea of what will happen next was a life changing experience.
But I went from this:
to this in a few seconds:
and then to this in a few months so its not all bad:
