There is a Reflex Charcoal Saggy for sale in the classifieds with the above registration at Tony Gilbert.
Just spoke to the garage and am very tempted to go and have a look tomorrow. Sounds very nice. Lookibg to possibly trade my Tuscan in for it.
Anyone on here know the car?
Cheers.

Yes, it's known on here - the owner isn't listed in the Sagaris Register, but it's not too difficult to find out who it is...

That looks like a nice sag in one of the best colours, good price for an 06 car as well, nice reg plate also, my advice would be, go get.

It's my old car frown

Absolutely fantastic car, both me and Graham (the previous owner) loved and cherished it. Never had any paintwork, never been on track, always been warmed up correctly - in fact I think you'll probably struggle to find a better cared for example.

The only reason I sold it was because we've just had planning come through on my house extension, and whilst the extensive works are being done, we have to move into another house with no parking, so rather than risk any of the cars getting damaged in storage, they have (hopefully) gone to good homes.

The money will come in hand for the extension anyway.

Was due to go see the car this afternoon and do a deal.

Beaten to it by a tuscan owner who I assume is the OP. Congrats mate, she looks a beast.

Does anyone have any opinions on this red glow sag?

Well guys, the deal has been done. Pick it up next week.
Absolutely delightedbiggrin
Will be extremely sad to see my tuscan go, had it from new and has been totally pampered, but as they say, its time to move on, and have always anchoured after a saggy.
Ray, I may well contact you if you don`t mind, to get a bit more info.

Thanks

I was interested in trading my T350 for that one, but the dealer offered me peanuts for mine, so decided it wasnt worth the change.

Congratulations Nigel - It's a fantastic looking car. What were your initial impressions compared to the Tuscan on the test drive? Is it leagues quicker than the 3.6?
Look forward to seeing it around.

Well, picked the car up this afternoon, WOW, what can i say, absolutely stunning. this is my 7th TVR, and without a doubt, streets ahead of the others. I am absolutely smittenbiggrin
The only down side, is that after shaking hands last saturday with the dealer, and speaking with him on two occassion throughout the week, when we got there this afternoon, he wanted to change the deal (To his favour obviously), I was absolutely bloody livid, but as he new that i wanted the car, i went ahead. The car is absolutely fantasticyes but after over 10 years in the TVR community, i am somewhat disturbed that this type of practice still goes on. I for sure will never deal again with this dealer, but to all out there that are looking for a new TVR, be aware, there is still sharpe practice out there, my advise, get the deal in writing.
Anyway, on a brighter note, I am in love with my Saggycloud9

Hi Kev, interesting day today. Been out in the saggy twice,and on both occassions it broke downbanghead Going along ok and then all of a sudden it just cuts out, and dies. wait 5 minutes at side of road, starts again and we get home. Went out again , couple of miles up the road, doing about 60, and again, everything dies. sit at the side of the road holding evrything up, then it re-starts again and off we go. Looks like the warrenty will be tested sooner rather than latterhehe
Done around 120 miles in it yesterday and it didn`t miss a beat.
Much firmer ride than the tuscan and feels a whole lot more stuck to the road. Then again, i really wanted new shocks and springs on my tuscan, so this i suppose is where the difference is.

Nigel, that really is not good news at all. I hope its something very simple to sort, but then again the bl**dy (st)dealer should have found and fixed it before you parted with your 'hard earned'.

I read with disgust your earlier comment about the dealer. How in hell does he sleep at night! If you agree a deal, then that's a done deal whether its in writing or not. I know that you were 'smitten' with the car, but I,d have been very temped to call his bluff and walk out, go find a nice pub for a meal and a pint and await his call to say the deal still stands.

Hope you are still able to make the meet tomorrow.
