TVR is still alive...

I thought TVR was just about dead. I still think the Sagaris is one of the best looking cars to date. Notice they toned down the interior quite a bit. I want those wheels for my 8.


Announced this morning by TVR Managing Director, David Oxley, at an exclusive preview event held at the new TVR development works in Lancashire, England - TVR Production has resumed!

Upon the momentous occasion, which included invited members of the TVR Car Club, TVR staff presented the TVR Sagaris model year 2008. Exterior design has remained the same except for new 5 spoke wheels, while the interior receives a new center console with satellite navigation.

As promised back in 2006 by TVR owner, Nikolai Smolenski said "My intention is to expand the sales and distribution of TVR cars throughout Europe, the rest of the world and USA markets is a key part of the business strategy of the company." Built as a left hand drive model, the 2008 Sagaris confirms it will be exported internationally.

Preliminary pricing puts the 2008 TVR Sagaris just below 85.000 Euros.

it looks ok and must drive amazingly but the interior is way too simple. They need to add a bit of trim to that so that it doesnt look like a black hole.

Here is the original interior. I don't understand why they changed it. The bizarre/retro-like interiors where a TVR trademark.

At least they tried to fix the spider eyeball headlights this time. I can't stand the typical TVR lights.
