I love the old TVR's so much more but that one is def hot. My boy Teddy works next to a shop that run by a guy that works on nothing but classics bentley's, jags, tvr's. I believe he is one of a few people throughout the US cerified to work on these cars. Next time I'm there I should snap some pics. The TVR he has there I would trade my S for in a heart beat. So nice looking and even smaller than the S.

the Sagaris is one of the greatest designs ever!

If they fix the British electrical gremlins, I'd love one

From what I gather, its a rather simple car to work on. If you like to do your own wrenching, its pretty simple.

I forgot what material it is made out of, but the Tuscan doesn't hold up well under impacts... Also, I hope you can get to the engine compartment without removing the whole front end of the car. Too bad they weren't here earlier, but I guess people are not in love with ultra-lightwieght cars with no airbags or other safety features.
That said- TVR is a hell of a company and the Tuscan is a hell of a car...

They are made from fiberglass. The front clam opens up towards the front of the car. As for safety features, its just a better reason to drive carefully.

Well I hope someone can make TVR solvent. I would *LOVE* to see a Sagaris on the road here in the US. It is one of the most visually stunning cars of the last decade or more, IMO.

I would defintiely save my pennies for a TVR with the steering wheel on the left side, especially that I could work on in the driveway.
