No pics, saw it on Yarra Boulevard, Melbourne, Australia.

It looked something like this. But this isn’t it.

I definitely freaked out a bit, on reflection this is probably at the very top of the “ cars I want to see” list. I saw a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! which was great, I saw a Citroen SM and a few 918s and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I can’t think of anything that would rank higher for me.

I also saw a Tuscan once from very far away in London, a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! once, a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! recently. But the Sag is my favourite, I’d doubted there were many if any in Aus.

I’d be so thrilled to see a TVR in person. More than a Bugatti or anything like that. The only place I would be able to see it would be Ho ng Kong.

I still love these cars . Maybe when they hit 25 years I’ll import one to the US.

Truth in learning: There’s a company in Spain making Sagaris kits.

I could actually get one....but no airbags.

Did it have the side exit rear exhausts or the later more standard rear facing ones?

The sideways facing ones just look that bit more awesome.

I am not sure but I agree.

I think it was side exit. But I barely saw the thing, it was gone as soon as it appeared.

They are now available as a new kit car from Grex Automotive in Spain!

Wow! The fate of TVR is such a weird thing. Sad too.

How did it not make news when a company started reproducing the Sagaris?

It’s cool, but is it really a Sagaris?

I mean, from what Ive heard/seen aren't all TVRs basically kit car (quality)?

It’s as “ Sagaris” as you’re going to get without buying one from the original production run, and then certifying it in the US. They can fit various LS V8s as well as a true TVR straight-6.

Yes, you can wait for the OEM kit car or get a kit version of a kit car!
