Don't know the car but it's been for sale for a very long while.

I can't understand why it hasn't sold as it looks stunning. Perhaps the price appears a little high when compared with similar Sags and this is putting people off?

Dunno the car, cant find it on the register .....Id be more worried about how long its been stood doing nothing, its barely done 2K a year...which is not good for em IMO ...im sure all the niggles are still there waiting to come out too, so you can have that "new TVR" experience and at 3 years old the rubber will be rock hard by now, so Id ask for a full set of new tyres on it...other than that, if you want to pay £43K for an 06 plate car that will drop like a stone if you use it, then go for it smile

Ive obviously been watching that one too, last summer it was listed at 47k! It is on the register but as thats not fully functional at the mo you probably wont see it.

It was listed as No 21 below.

It was originally their demonstrator.

I tried to buy it two years ago but they wanted £52K and weren't willing to negotiate on price.
They offered me £22K (not their first offer) for a 18month old T350C so I walked.

At the time I test drove it it was sat in the showroom most of the time and being taken to a few shows.
The front splitters were badly damaged on both sides.
The power steering didn't work when I drove it - very hard work ! - and it'd been faulty before but fixed itself when taken to the workshop.

I think it's had two owners since then.

It's a stunning looking car but I'm not sure I could live with the colour every day.

If you like it and can afford it then go for it. But be prepared for the hard sell if you show any interest.
Sadly the dealership has completely change since Nigel sold it frown

I was at RG today (dropping the chim off). They have the Pirelli car (black, lovely and some history), a flip green car (equally lovely), in the show room. Outside was a stunning Jag green (carbon exhausts sticking out further than the norm), amongst others.

I'd be interested to hear how your getting on with your new one!?

I really am not sure what I want.. Sometimes I think a westfield would be great, then I am back fancying a sagaris, and then been looking into the possibility of a Gallardo. Hmm..

Bit of an update.. The car is due a service and MOT in September, so only 5 months worth.

Also they are selling it on behalf of a customer, who is looking to buy an R8. Still not sure if its worth the asking price though?

I picked it up today and it was everybit as good as I wanted it to be ... to be honest the T350 and the tam were very dissapointing in comparison .. it knocks spots off them ... please dont take offence t350 and tam owners but the sag is fantastic
