Whats with the "Tony the Tiger" colour scheme. Looks a bit like a TR6 IMO.

Looks like a car-ification of 70s psychedelia. Love it, and the color too! How much??

Sagaris cues?

An utter lack of imagination.

Sorry.

[2kwik]

looks better with the light off.

[John Nowak]

Oh, you all always say that abc looks like xyz.

Looks like a lovely and mostly original car to me. In fact I'd say it has very little in common with the Sagaris!

[donatien]

Lets hope the tide comes in and swallows it up. I don't see many original styling points here.

[iansull]

i can see some sagaris cues in it.

don't like it at all. in fact i think its

Sagaris cues?
Where?

Oh yes, it uses projecter headlights, that exclusive TVR preserve, as used on Ultimas, Carrera GT, Ford GT, Marcos Mantis & Mantaray, Ferraris etc.

OK, maybe the vents, but hang on a minute, don't nearly all meaty front engined cars have vents to let the heat out of the engine bay?
That's right, they all do!

I know, it's the outline, long bonnet with a rear that slopes slightly down.
DOH!
Wrong again, I think Marcos, Jaguar, Ferrari had this all sewn up before I was even born!

I give up then, where are the Sagaris styling cues?

The reason for the orange paint (which I happen to think suits it) is a continuation of the competition styling cues. One of the Marcos LM racers in Europe is orange.

Looks like a TR6???!! A Triumph TR6 do you mean? If so then you have me completely baffled...have you ever actually seen a TR6?

SHED.

Can we come up with something new !

[M-G]

Looks OK from the Front and Back, but side profile............

Pig Ugly!

A more flatering colour would be a little better.

the roof line to the short rear and the bonnet line down over the front wheels.

can't say i'm particularly bothered if you don't agree with me

[cotty]

looks very TVR to me but not as good

[Alex]

Like it. What I like most, however, is that it's got a proper V8.
