Theres been a few topics on this recently. For me personally I'd walk away as the heat soak these things have in the cabin can be pretty intense. I run a T350 Targa and even with the roof off the cabin can get unbearably hot in traffic.

Entirely up to you and various people will be along saying yes/no but as stated, IMHO it's a must.

Rarely need the aircon on in my daily drive but in the Sag its a must. Get a huge discount or discount it!

I wouldn`t buy a Sagaris without it, I find any journey in May -> August can make the cabin very hot..

I was goung to buy a rather nice lazer Blue Sagaris a little while back...great car in everyway but no Aircon!, so nearly bought it but VERY
glad i didnt!!!!

The one I Ended up with has aircon and I cant imagine wanting to drive very far without it on!!!

Unless you want to drive around in your pants forget it!!!....Unless you get such a large discount you could justify getting it fitted. but bare in mind to do it properly will cost around £2000!

I can honestly say I have put my AC on 3 or 4 times all summer! Window down is usually enough confused Heat soak in the Sag is minimal compared to the other TVR's I have owned smile

Personally I wouldn't buy one without it (better resale), but I use the Griff most of the time when it's hot so mine doesn't get used that much!

I not used m aircon a lot this year especially as I have fitted a bypass valve in my heating circuit but I would never buy a Sagaris with out it. Even if you can handle it your market for selling it on is greatly reduced.

Shameless plug, but my Sag is up for sale in the classifieds - Nebula Black with AC. How much you looking to spend?

Run mine with A/C off and seems fine on all but really hot days.

Key is to get the ventilation system set correctly, so you are not using the aircon just to cool wrongly directed hot air

Havent used my Air Con much. I usually have the windows down listening to the rumble of the engine which is enough to cool the cabin.

wouldn't touch one without it, on one of those rare warm days or any long drive you would regret it .... they get hot inside and its not much fun driving on motorways with the windows down ... don't do it, wait for the right car
