I really like the new Sagaris, what a sexy little beast this is.......



IIRC, isn't this the one that is based on a Tamora but with a hard top?

I must start entering the national lottery again

Without a doubt. Great to see that the mark is STILL making the most beautifull models with the most cutting edge designs.

Dont waste your time with the lottery mate as ive got a ticket and its all going to be mine!!

Wounder if ther'l ever be a 2+2 to replace the Cerb?

I hope there will.

IIRC the Tamora, T350 and Sagaris all have the Tuscan Chassis?? I know the Tam and T350 are the same car, but with a roof and that that is the Tuscan chassis, so I assume the Sagaris uses the same or at least a deravitive.

Personally if it wasn't a Griff, then a Tuscan, if I could afford it.

Given the Griff is quite old - probably the T350. Actually the T350 full stop. Totally fab car.

Possibly the T350, but I saw an absolutely stunning Tuscan in a car park in Chester not long ago... light blue metallic with cream leather. I almost fell over

Got to be the T350 for me. Love the Tuscan too, but the back-end of the T350 does it for me everytime.
Don't think I'll own one for a good few years though!

There's always the Typhon at £80k odd (assuming it ever gets released!!)....better get her ladyship to put that red light above the door again (he quickly hits the "submit reply" button before she sees, and beats the living cr*p out of me!!)

Personally I intend to get a Tamora later this year if things go as planned. I can't be without a rag top TVR. My S was exactly the introduction to TVR that I wanted, its been great fun, but now I can't help myself, I want something newer, faster etc.

Hey u & me Pod....we just tell it how it is !?!?

Just bear in mind the amount of support some club members have or have not received with the later cars...and they were new car customers !

Its a personal opinion of course but based on simple maths...percentage of cars built to frequency and size of problems....Sp6 to non Sp6.

If after taking the above into account you want a newer model....then great, go for it.

Roof off driving is for me and the S I have is fast enough...and the ex racer No.29 is for track days.

So no burning desire to change @ the mo....plus I haven't got any more room - need a house with more land to keep all the cars on 1st

whats being a "senior member of the TVRCC " got to do with supporting the company. TVR is a PRIVATE company it has to sell it current models on their qualities,if people dont want to buy one then TVR have to address that or the company fold.

P.S Last time i checked senior TVRCC members did not get a discount on new cars

I would LOVE a 4.5 Cerbera (ala UKBoB) but I think the running costs would kill me, but WHAT a car.

I also LOVE almost everything about Tuscans (not so much the Mk2) and Tam/T350/Sagaris. However the whole S6 thing just would put me off to be honest.

Wether or not it's totally true, there is a perception of issues with this engine and I don't think I would enjoy driving it as much with that doubt/nag in my head that it might go pop and land me with a huge bill.

But if money was no object, then ANY TVR would be fantastic.
