Too big.....

Gorgeous car!

I wonder if I can get that picture in 1920 x 1200 like the cherry red Sagaris picture?

You must be joking, IMHO this is the best looking car TVR have produced since the Chim/Griff.

the only bug bear is that they didn't keep the screw-thingies for the roof and so have the usual TVR elbow struts which take up a lot of room on the "dog shelf"...

I'm hoping this will be to the Sagaris what the Chim was to the Griff i.e. the big seller.

Oi! TVR Centre, bring it on the tunnel run!

A bit bland at the front end compared to the old car but still a beautiful machine :-)

So is the roof mechanism a targa panel or is it a full convertible ?

I know which system I'd prefer, and that system is the old one. The thought of having to screw knobs (cue Podie) up tight enough and hope the roof stays in place? no thanks.

Have they removed the bulge below the steering column, yet? The one that clobbers your knee-caps.

Yup thats the one, the new pod is now very set back so you should now be able to see it in sunlight.

Sat in one at TVR London on Tuesday.

If you look closely you will see that the indicator stalks are now plastic!!!!!!! They look like ford focus ones.

Aparently all new cars are going down this route.

Looks like Leven will have a new market!!

Personally I rather like the interior of the Tuscan Roadster. Especially the counter-rotating dials! Rich...

Just seen this in the MPH 05 Press Release:

As with all motorshows, visitors will get a first glimpse of the cars of tomorrow with TVR, Volvo, Citroën, Saab and the American supercar giants Saleen all promising to host UK public debuts of exciting new models.

So I take it it wont be the model above!

It looks like this new dashboard is very easy to change into LHD-form. Good news for us here on the continent.
