New Sag owner

[JustNate]

Just thought I’d drop by to say hi!
After a long run of owning German I’ve finally bit the bullet and bought one of my childhood hero’s and it had me thinking am I the youngest Sag owner on here ‘currently’ (29)
Looking forward to some meets in future!
Nath

Looking good! Welcome to the Sag owners community

First off congratulations on the Sagaris, it certainly will not disappoint! However, sorry to disappoint on the age front Nate, but I bought mine at 24 (now 26).

Thanks mate, I love it, and no disappointment was just curious. Hoping we actually get a summer this year to get along to some meets!

Well done, congratulations and enjoy.

I have to ask you two youngsters what drew you to a TVR?
Do your peers 'get' it or do they ask why you didn't get something more modern and obvious? (Lambo, Ferrari etc)
I'm really pleased that another generation are buying TVRs and not just us oldies and genuinely curious.

Stunning mate, Enjoy. Had mine when I was 24, 11 years later I think the car is ageing far better than me.

For me it was my trip to the London Motor Show in either 2005 or 2006. I was handed a poster of the Sagaris and it has sat on my wall ever since.
Why I didn't go for something more obvious is largely down to 1. I wanted a manual 2. I wanted the rarity.
Peers are really supportive actually and the road presence is unmatched

Thank you. It always interests me how and why people buy cars.
I'm new to Chim ownership and took it to see my best mate, his two sons didn't even look out the window when I arrived, as a kid I'd have been straight out...

I wish you many happy miles in your awesome Sag

well done Nath, nice shy retiring car in an equally shy and retiring colour Looks stunning

Be good to get some decent weather and some meets agreed. Mine is going back to Str8six tomorrow to fix a dash fault

A few of my friends get it and a few think I'm in idiot! But the latter doesn't matter! personally I think if you had a Lambo or Ferrari in front\behind in traffic or just out on the road the Sag would get 90% of the attention driving around up where I live most the people see the car and haven't a clue what it even is it gets a great reaction!
I remember seeing a reflex green Tuscan when I was around 11 and then Clarkson in the Sag on topgear
But the main thing that drew me to one was when I attended the Malton big breakfast meet a couple years on the bounce and the TVR's always stole the show, always wanted one after that.

Thanks, yea I didnt fancy an in your face colour as I like to blend in so the Halcyon was the perfect choice
that glitch looks a pain! I've already had my first dash issue, but a little battery discon sorted that right out!
