Shiver me timbers. T350 is a gem and a work of art but the Sagaris is hard core car porn. I've never seen £50k look so reasonable.

Blown away by it standing still. And for me the titanium autotrader one had it pitched just right. I went to the show feeling guilty at blowing money on a car that's too fast for the UK. I left feeling proud to be supporting a british company with such vision and balls.


Can anyone confirm for certain that the autotrader car is iced titanium and not grigio titanium?

I can't confirm either way Pits, but I would presume it's Iced Titanium as that's supposedly TVR's (slightly darker) version of the Ferrari colour, so it makes sense that they'd use their own paint on a showcar, wouldn't it?

Did you order Iced Titanium? Good choice if you did!! I just had my T350 redone in that colour, and it looks gorgeous. So classy and so mean at the same time.

Yep I'm going for iced titanium, that's why I wanted to check it was the exact same shade of grey as the autotrader car, as there are so many variations I was starting to go a bit mad staring at every titanium car on the road to see who did the best one. Having seen iced titanium it's just perfect. Very classy too on the t350 they had on the stand.

I'm so thrilled they didn't change much from the prototype. Look what porsche did from the stunning boxster prototype to the safe production car. There are many more examples too, remember honda's prototype for the s2000? Oops.... I think I'm going off on one! Clearly still overexcited from the show!

Of course the best bit about the motor show was seeing the awsome TVR range, marvelling over every model and then get back to the car park and get in one of said models and cruise home.......now that was a NICE moment!!!

No, the best bit was the girls by the Caterham Experience. Niiice jumpsuits.

But the TVR stand was ace, plus the new Noble looks very promising.

Looks and sounds superb but as always there will be regular prayers about build quality and reliability until otherwise proved.
