Had to take a few pics of the last ever TVR model
I work near a well known TVR dealer and saw this parked up outside and couldnt resist a picture
I still love this motor, especially in black! 405bhp, 1100kg'sYes i know it's plastic and it will break down, but my dad had a 4.2 360bhp cerbera for 4 years and it never broke down once
The Sagaris will surely become a collectors classic!!
Some more photo's for you to ponder over?

Have to have a TVR in my life at some point, thats lovely
Has the headlamp cover fallen off?
Still love it though
i want the 4.2 so bad and that comment only makes me want to justify buying one even moreOriginally Posted by Kinugawa Turbo

Cheers Aj
FPMSL it looks like it LOL
Nowt that a bit of black silastic wouldn't fixFPMSL it looks like it LOL
It's a shame they spoiled it by putting one of their own engines in lol
Give me a 5.0LTR V8 Chimera any day though
I would have to diagree. A Rover (Buick V8) over a dry sumped race bred straight sixIt's a shame they spoiled it by putting one of their own engines in lol
Give me a 5.0LTR V8 Chimera any day thoughThe max you can take the rover (buick) engine was always to the 360bhp mark. Bored out to 5.4 ltr.....
A Sagaris or Tuscan S on over run is one of motoring's aural pleasures!!
You have to give TVR credit though for developing 3 deriatives of engine, the 4.5 ltr red rose producing 440bhp in factory trim is surely the one to source and force into your s14 engine bay
Yeah don't get me wrong lovely engine, but you wouldn't want to have one in your car, Well unless you are an AA platinum plus member that is.I would have to diagree. A Rover (Buick V8) over a dry sumped race bred straight six

You know where you are with a big ass V8 rover lump
They are one of the best looking cars about IMO.
There are places that rebuild the TVR straight six the resolves a few if not most of the issues
I dont care how unreliable they are, i want one, one day. Either a Cerbera or a sagaris, maybe a tuscan
True,Yeah don't get me wrong lovely engine, but you wouldn't want to have one in your car, Well unless you are an AA platinum plus member that is.

But TVR's Ajp V8 is reliable, especailly in 4.2 (unstressed mode 360bhp spec) As with any high performance engine regular oil changes and getting the timing checked every 10k and it is one the the most underated V8's out there at the moment.
But i think I would still source a E39 M5 V8 if i was to go down the "aint no replacement for displacement" route!
Absolutely gorgeous, I would have it in some kind of lairy orange.
Want.
It's the perspex spoiler and sideways exhausts and axe'd bonnet that do it for me
Bloody EPIC cars, would love to own one, one day
Jut
the engine was designed originally by Al Melling, and then TVR 'productionised' his design to make it cheaper and quicker to produce, thats where 95% of the reliabilty issues come from (top end issues mainly). Al Melling is now reproducing all the original spec bits as a conversion for the AJP straight 6, not cheap, abot £5K, but has about 50hp hike and warranty and really really good reliability.There are places that rebuild the TVR straight six the resolves a few if not most of the issues
Sags a good looking motor, as is the T350C
One of these beside me in a filling station one night.
They're absolutely gorgeous in the metal ( well ... errrmmm.. in the plastic
and the sound when he fired it up and pulled away
I have a spare TVR I want to get rid of, if anyone is interested.
Haven't got round to advertising it yet.
Brand new Rover 3500 V8 engine in it.
£4500 or nearest offer.
Not a Sagaris obviously... its a 1987 350i Series 2.
Last ever TVR? They gone bust or have I lost it?
Didn't know you had that JW?
