Been looking for an 06 / 55 reg Sag ( has to be right spec tho) and there doesnt seem many for sale at the moment, only 6 on autotrader and 11 on PH.

Ive got a 55 plate T350 so wouldnt want to go for anything before a 55 plate.

Is got to the point where shit money = why sell? hence non on the market.
As you say its got to be the right spec. For me too many cars were factory specced and then sent out to dealers as built. End up with portland and body colour interior, which is awful. Take the last Sag built at Bristol Ave for example nice paint - interior to make you puke. For me there are only two cars for sale at the moment with the correct spec. Both too expensive. Keep your car till things stabilise, and they will. There are not enough cars out there- 11 to choose from Worldwide say no more!

I believe that only about 150 were built,

so 10% for sale at any one time is probably quite good...

Autotrader only ever seems to have about 50-60 griffs for sale at anyone time nationally (About 2600 built)

Apparently the number built is 125. But my Sagaris number 110 never left the factory and is still still there just a shell. So i'm not surprised there are so little for sale as they are at this stage quite a rare car

The Red Saggy at 33k on PH classifieds seems a real bargain if the 6k service is to be done as well... Had not realised they had dropped in price so much.

That red sag was up on ebay a couple of times, and still not sold. The most i've seen on the classifieds is about 14, so 11 is about the right number at the moment.

I believe that figure of 125 is wrong. As far as I know TVR sequentially numbered all cars in a year's production, so you could have a Tuscan, followed by a T350 followed by a Sagaris, etc. The individual chassis numbers therefore tell you nothing about the number of any particular model - there must have been at least 250 Sagarises IMO.

funky, Interested to know how many sags there are but my number ends 372, so is that 72?

No that just means yours was the 372nd TVR made that year if my understanding is correct.

The red Sagaris on PH Classifieds is now down another grand at 32K - will it be the first one under 30K?

It is the case that there were only 120 or so made - there is another thread kicking around here somewhere, but sufficient to say that those contributing are in a valid position to comment.

Great - where is it? I'd love to learn something from those with valid opinions.

There were between 150 and 120 Sagaris made. The exact number is open to debate. Tbere were about 20 cars left on the line, roughly 1/3rd of them were Sagaris. There were several hack, demos and development cars made that were not sold to the public.

So at the moment the best guess from anybody you are going to get is between 120-150. I think the answer lies at about 130 but I cant be arsed to fully nail the answer down.

As much as I'm enjoying my T350C in this first month of TVR ownership, i really really wanted a Saggyarse, and if that one drops to 30K I'll be gutted - my favourite colour too! mad

Maybe Daftlad could explain where the 125 came from - just because something is repeated several times doesn't make it true - I suspect that the 125 figure has been wrongly derived by misinterpreting chassis/body numbers. I suspect that the number is larger,in excess of 200 BUT I would like a definitive answer - someone got a definitive number for Tuscan 2 Convertibles (105) from the factory staff.

I believe it was from a factory source, but i cannot say for sure as it's just a memory from a post. Hopefully daftlad can confirm or deny, ill send him a mail as i too would love to know!

Im almost definite 200 cars were never produced, finished and shipped out of the door.

The figure of 125 came from Mike Penny.

So i think it's fair to say it's a pretty rare car
