Starting the hunt for a nice Sagaris
Discussion
Hey folks, I am starting the hunt for the - to me - most beautiful of all TVRs.
I currently own a 96 993 and a 92 964 which will undergo surgery to become a fun track car.
I am a user - driver - and buy cars for the experience that they provide, not for how much money I can make out of it and will the value go up. This actually pisses me off, but whatever.
As a matter of fact, most of my cars have always had high mileage and the 2 p-cars that I have amount for a total of 286.000 miles together
My previous cars have been: 92 NSX (hated it), 93 RX-7 (constantly afraid it will blow up), Evo IX, S2000, Integra DC2, Civic ED7. I also have a dedicated track car, a MX5 Miata (Best car in the world).
Of course I would prefer a low mileage Sag but they seem to be pretty reliable, I guess a 50k miles example shouldn't scare me. I intend to use it, to drive the Sag as much as I can.
Could any of you direct me to a document / link as a reliable guide on what to look when searching for a Sag?
How many colors have they made?
Differences by year in terms of engines/suspension/drivetrain?
What options did they have out of factory? I read about "highly optioned car" but what the hell does that mean for a car that weights 1000kg!?
Last but not least - if you have a lead on a Sag for sale I'd appreciate the feedback. Finders fee is welcome
Cheers

Might want to get one of the Sagaris workshop manuals by graham varley i think , I believe theyve just been reprinted . Nice Sagaris in Hexham Horsless Carriages at least it was in there last time i was in about a fortnight ago .
Thasks toma. I saw the Hexam one, looks stunning although it’s not my favorite color and if I need to spend that much money I’d rather it to have a different color.As for engine rebuild, I still don’t understand why is it preferred?

Why not put your name on the waiting list for the new Griffith for similar money?
Hey Jonny, fair question.I know that the new TVR will be a great car but if you see my past cars it’s clear how I pick them looking at a 2010 Gran Turismo!
I am just a sucker for old slow cars. I have an Aprilia RSV4 to go fast on track ;-)
