New Sagaris owner
Discussion
A boyhood dream you might say... John and Linda Simpson's old car, one of the lowest mileage Sags in the world I'd hasten to say. It was a tough decision to let both my Tuscan 2S and Griff 500 go, and a tough negotiation with the previous owner, but after much to'ing and fro'ing she's back home in the garage. I believe it's the only Spectraflair Grey Sag built, the mileage is just 5900 and the car is virtually faultless which is how it will remain.
Congrats from me too - I hope you enjoy it after the sacrifice of selling the others. The spectraflair effect is quite amazing. Promise to drive it bit though
Like the last poster, I'm approaching fourteen years of ownership and still very happy with mine. I've managed 22k happy miles - not a lot, but a bit more than some.

Thanks for the well wishes all. I've had the car around a month now, it's done perhaps 150 miles or so. The car is getting to the point now where I feel she is best preserved and cherished as a low mileage, standard car. In the last couple of years I've done European road trips in my T350T and Tuscan respectively, if truth be told I don't think that the Sag will ever be used for such a thing. It's giving me as much enjoyment as the other cars did just by looking at it, cleaning it and being its custodian. Ideally I'd like to drive it more and not feel as guilty, but this is always the danger of buying such a low mileage car. Certainly had I bought a 25000 mile car, I'd be driving it a lot more.
On the plus side, the car is almost flawless in its condition, in all areas. The chassis looks to have never seen rain, the exterior has one small stone chip just above the PPF on the nose. The engine bay is absolutely factory standard and perfectly maintained, even the engine bay stickers have been replaced and look like new. The water rails have the slightest surface corrosion coming through, and perhaps the PAS bracket is a bit scabby. The seats have been retrimmed with double quilted white stitch; I'm not a fan of quilting normally, but the car is just so bloody nice it doesn't matter!

I'm not entirely sure, the car has the associated invoice in the file at around 3k miles. My hunch is that the car perhaps came supplied with the (inferior) Tuscan seats from new and these were installed afterwards, though I couldn't say for sure. The quilted stitching is also present below the removable cushion which is a nice touch.

Yes that's what HHC told me when it was there iirc it was John Simpson who did it, he may be along to confirm it.To be honest when the car was in the showroom it looked a meh colour but when it's outside it looks fantastic
