Just drove our new Sagaris up from London, and dropped off the M74 to enjoy 50 miles of cracking A roads in the borders. Was blown away by the Sagaris - impressive go, even though I couldn't wind it right up, and the drive was totally involving - I was in the zone!
Unfortunately after 6.5 hours in the car I now have tinnitis, but I think I would chose it over the 430?

Glad you're enjoying it Northo. It's certainly a car that gets me in the zone every time I drive it, to I can totally relate to your comments - just wait til you can open it up a bit more. It's totally engrossing on a bit of road you know well. A very intense driving experience and much, much quicker and more enjoyable than the frankly lardy F355 I had. I'm sure the 430 is a big improvement over that but I imagine a bit techno whizz bang and synthetic to drive compared to the organic, grass fed bull of a thing the TVR is. Not bad bit of work for 50k is it?

For £50k it is unbelievable. I am new to TVR, and was given to believe that they were fast but crap. How wrong I was.
As I keep saying, the Sagaris is easily superior to a GT3 (OK maybe not the 997 variant) and almost as good as a 996TT, which is just about the highest praise I can think of. Ive no doubt that new Turbo moves the game on, but that is only to be expected.
The ride only gets quicker Northo! Wait till after your first service, the engine starts loosening up and the 6k rpm,2nd gear addiction. We dont call em Sagaris Sluts for nothing
