Hi guys,yep I'm back.
Sold my Sagaris in September last year after 2 years of ownership, bought a Lotus Exige S with performance pack 240 plus BHP, very quick car with exceptional handling, however I couldn't help but thinking that I missed the tiv for all the obvious reasons. I know it sounds mad but I use to make a brew and sit in the garage with the Sag and just look at her.
I started looking on the classifieds more and more.So I went to see James at TVR MADS who has a Tuscan S convertable in red glow pearl, build number 1381, registered in 2006, reg TV55CAN, only 5 k on the clock and a 1 owner lady weekend driver. I knew if I got another Sag I would keep comparing it to the one I had so I took the plunge and have done a deal on the Tuscan.Taking delivery this weekend.

Intersting as I fully intend to move to an exige next.

The draw for me is not having to spend so long warming the engine up!

How would you compare exige 240 and sag/tuscan? pluses and minus please!

TVR +'s
street/road presence
sound
looks
attention from public
comfort
exclusivity

Lotus +'s
handling
many after market bits like carbon fibre
cheaper to fill tank

No -'s for either
