Dont think they can be bothered about selling it, I phoned them twice requesting a price and asked to view it as it was but they didnt get back to me so Ive spent the money.

Not sure either, i dug out an old Evo magazine last night and read the story on the Typhon when they tested it, they said TVR only made 3, 2 black and 1 Orange/Red however apparently Evo wrote saying that this car was not planned to be manufactured.

£95k?! fk me! What spec did they sell it to? It'd better be a hell of a lot higher spec than standard!

It had better have a flux capacitor and an invisibility cloak for that money.

Yea guys, when i picked up my Sagaris from them it sat in the showroom with tons of bits and bobs chucked inside as if it was being built, rebuilt, whatever....then clearly finished it and sold it. But 95k.....confused ok only 3 made but thats alot of money but hey if someone willing to pay it and be happy then y not!! A peice of history i reckon! Rubbish colour personally.

I have spoken to Racing Green. I will not be producing any photographs, as the car is in development and is being finished to a very interesting specification! Which in turn, will be featured in an addition of SPRINT magazine on completion after several months. Please read that when its out and in the meantime do not bother to ask me about the spec!

The owner has given exclusive rights to the release of information about his car to Sprint magazine.
Sprint have decided that they will publish the full specification and the build report as a single article at the end of the build period.
May I therefore ask that everyone remain patient, respect the owner's wishes and wait for the Sprint article to appear later this year.
Best Regards, Chas at Racing Green TVR.

It's just dawned on me, if someone has paid in the region of 95k for a Speed Six engined car there is a future for that hearing aid beige Morris Ital I saw in a field last week!

hehe ... sorry.

Lots of differences they are a different wider and longer bodyshell, different interior with small rear seats, a much stiffer, wider chassis with alloy honeycomb and carbon fibre stiffening to name but a few. Have a look in some of the other threads in this forum and have a look at some of the pics for a better idea.
