Just wondering if anybody has ordered a Sagaris,see the pictures ages ago when it was announced.And now all has been a bit quiet.Are they making it yet? if not when is it going to happen.I think it is the most stunning TVR ever.Hope the russians haven't canned it.

Supposedly theyve said they want to increase the build quality on the Sagaris and so have delayed production

Correct. The Sagaris is still being produced, unchanged. However, the man in charge wasn't happy with the finish on one of the newer cars (not a Sagaris though) so has decided to delay production whilst he improves quality.
I believe TVR had started to produce the dealer demos (there is a picture of a yellow shell on here somewhere) but I suspect the delay will mean that the cars won't make the dealers until the end of the year.

I have ordered one and delivery was given as November, but as mentioned production has stopped to improve quality. I have now been told by the factory that my car will now be delayed by 2 months.

However they are going to loan me a TVR from November until my Sagaris arrives. All I have to do is insure it.

So I'am thinking it will be with me in January......

I've still got one on order. Full deposit paid. At the motorshow they said 'October' then 'november' and then a letter saying the whole thing's been delayed for 'two months' in a letter that also offered use of a 'late model car' until the Sagaris arrives.

Your guess is as good as mine when it will actually show up but if quality is improved then I'm prepared to wait. Let's hope they're fixing the sp6 engine once and for all after all the rebuild stories.

The biggest worry is that the new owner puts his stamp on the car in some way that detracts from the stunning original. That said, a 6 speed box, racing seats and a supercharger option wouldn't do it any harm....

I ordered my Sagaris pre-motor show a while ago with delivery scheduled for April '05. Is there any foundation to the suggested loan car offer??

I dont seem to have received any communication from TVR yet.

Also see this month's EVO article on TVR - makes encouraging reading re. quality control and additional test mileage.

I'm led to believe that the Sagaris will form the backbone of TVR's racing plans from next year (i.e. it will become the GT car of choice instead of the Tuscan R).

I think your problem may be that you have not put down a full deposit just the £1k + vat. The factory count full deposit cars (10%) as an order and quote a delivery date.

So if you have paid 10% you will get a loan car....

Note your comments - will speak to the dealer then before I commit the remainder of the 10% deposit.

I think I am due to pay this by November and choose specification etc. No doubt will get more information at that point!
