Bada, you not liking the Sagaris?
I'd kill for one, but at 60k new I can't justify it unless our next house is a bit cheaper than we were planning. My nearest dealer (some 200 miles away) has sent me on some 2nd hand prices which are just above 40k, but I'm not sure they'd be able to give me the same finance deal as a new car. If they could, I would almost certainly buy it if the numbers all stacked up. The dealer is also opening a showroom in Glasgow soon, which takes away the only other negative of owning a TVR - driving it 300 odd miles to have it serviced.

The T350 is looking very good because it's now got a 3 year warranty (although only a year for trim, ominously). But it just looks like a tame Sagaris, which admittedly it is. But it's not bad as the "sensible" option.

I love the Sagaris too, will be a very tempting car when they drop below 30k and still have some warranty left

3 yr warranty

I am sure that new owners will be relieved that the stitching on the glovebox is sound whilst the 3rd replacement engines are being delivered

Elise 111R is quicker than the Exige in a straight line and the S2K is quicker than the Exige around the Nurburg.

What you really want is the Exige S

Won't that three year warranty mean diddly squat if /when TVR goes to the wall??
