Another Cascade Sagaris for sale

[crimbo]

This has got to be at least the 5th Sagaris I have seen for sale in a Cascade colour since September last year. It’s becoming the most popular colour that pops up for a Sagaris in the classifieds, awesome colour but god would it scare me if I owned it, now I would be devastated with a stone chip here and there. Very competitive price though at 35k, can’t imagine it will be there long.

I wouldn't say common at all - Only 3 came out the factory in Cascade Indigo. In addition, 1 other in Cascade Indigo but is known to have come out the factory in a different colour and been resprayed.
PN06 TJY, LK55 MHZ and mine L33 DGS are the original three. (No's 3, 41 & 158 on the Sagaris register). S5 TVR was the resprayed one.

I'm more than happy with mine - it was for sale recently but now shows as sold. I changed my mind as I couldn't find anything else to replace it with without adding thousands of pounds to the pot.

I know one of the originals (LK55MHZ) was for sale privatly recently and went to a dealer but displayed a different reg plate in the advert to presumably disguise what the dealer had paid for it.

Edited to add - the one just appeared for sale is not cascade indigo as advertised - it's actually cascade violet.
It was sold only recently here:

Yeah I remember you saying there was only 3 from factory and 1 from a respray after, I agree it would cost you a whole lot of money to find a replacement of yours, that colour is so crazy in the sun in looks like a custom car not a car straight from the factory, Now you have decided to keep it I hope to see you at Super Car Sunday again this year

Just with only 3/4 in the world I am amazed that each of them have been for sale within the last 3months. One with a black interiour up north, One with a cream interiour now, yours too and way back when we were looking there was one down south with a black interiour too, not to mention the second add of the one up north that sold the other week I think.

I noticed it was cascade violet in the register thats why I just said cascade in the original post, Very close colour though maybe alittle more purple in it.

Cheers bud - I'm glad I'm keeping her too

I sure will be at Supercar Sunday this year to pic up the prize I won last year (Supercar of the year 2009).

See you then bud.

O yes, remind me to park far away in shame of the stone chips I have acquired on the front



I sore you hanging about with that ferrari cab at the end of the day (Is that why what was crossing your mind to get?) but my good did your sag look the part next to it, I'll try and dig the photo up but its off my phone so bad quality.

Aah yes - That'd be Harsh's 360 spider. I think he runs petrolhead nirvana.
It was the 360 spider I was looking at replacing the Sag with but after driving one, I decided not to. A great car but none of the drama of the Sag (which I'd miss dearly).

Look forward to the pic.

LOL I have loads of pics for sure, that many my batteries ran out on my proper camerra

Nice pic.

I know what you mean about loads of pics from Supercar sunday - I took about 100 or so and I hardly realised I'd taken any! Just the storage space and backing them up thats starting to be a problem....

LK55MHZ was my old Sagaris. If the car you are refering to was showing No. plate T666 *** then that was/is a different car LK55MHZ. (As advertised at Racing Green)

Some of the photos in the advert were actually of my car, so I phoned up RG and asked is it was my old Sag... to which I was told it was not. The private plate T666*** was not included in the sale, and would revert back to its original plate PM06 PJY.

So where is LK55MHZ?

I thought that the t666 was the one from up north that was also for sale at tvrcc, which has gone to justin I think

Aah - Phoenix Petes old car too?

Funnily enough it was LK55 MHZ that made me decide I wanted a Sagaris in the first place. Seeing the professional photos Phoenix Pete had taken made me want a Sag. I was chuffed to bits that the reflex green Sag I went to see turned out to actually be Cascade Indigo

LK55MHZ was for sale a few months ago on PH.
I'll have a look now if it's casched in my computers memory - if so, I'll edit this reply.

I was looking at T666 a few days ago at racing green. Lovely thing.

[scorcher]

Didn't one of the Cascade Indigos get smashed up by its owner? Seem to remember a thread from 2007/8 about someone who hadn't had it very long and had picked it up from RG and had slewed sideways in the rain/ice into the central reservation.It went back for repairs despite costing about 30k or something to put it right.Or am I confusing it with another Sag?Had a quick search but couldn't find anything.

[Don1]

Nah, that was an orange T350.

Yes your right, that was LK55MHZ.

AFAIK my old sag was sold on by RG to someone who upgraded from a T350. Although only a week or so from purchase lost control on the M62 (I think) and went backwards into the armco at around 60mph!

Luckily no one was injured but as you say the repair bill was north of £30,000! I believe that it is now back on the road and is still owned by the same chap.

Are you buying another TVR or not?
