The people at http://www.tvrdeutschland.de/ would be your best bet. They convert TVRs to LHD. I don't think anyone else does it and if you were to do it yourself, i suspect it would be extremely expensive ... probably as much as the Sagaris which TVR is making a LHD version of for the US market.

a Sagaris is about £20k more than a T350 ... I doubt that is an option.

If he see's an Iso Grifo as a viable option, I'm sure a Sagaris won't break the bank.

Does law prevent you driving a RHD ?
It's not an issue.
It's dead easy to drive a car from "the wrong side" on a countries roads.
You just learn a slightly different driving style esp when hazard-watching - and it's great fun to panic your passengers :D
I drove LHD for years in teh UK, no problem and no problem switching between.

i am looking for a 2+2 so sagaris is not an option and the grifo might have reliability problems.

The T350c is not a 2+2 though. It is the 'basic' car on which the Sagaris is based. :rolleyes:

Ah - I didn't know he had THAT much to spend. I think the last 2+2 TVR was the Cerbera. Not as reliable as the T350 but has much more oompf. Personally I'd be tempted to get a Morgan if I was looking at a TVR and an Iso. They're 2+2 and have an excellent V8 soundtrack.

You don't own an Iso Grifo. And you're not going to buy a TVR.

thanks I should stop reading carfolio specs, do you have any of those kind of pictures for the sagaris. Also when is the Sagaris making an LHD version? I am goin to the NY auto show in 10 minutes I'll get some pics and post them by the end of the week if my camera works right.

I will continue to be on your case because I HIGHLY doubt you own or intend to own these cars. Call me cynical, but that's the way I am.

I don't know about the timescale of a lhd Sagaris for the US market, but I do know that the Sagaris will also be a 2 seater only.

TVR do not currently produce a 2+2 model, the most recent were the Cerbera and also the small handful of T440s that were produced.

Morgan actually have a proper 4 seater now, but I don't rate it much as with the roof up it looks too boxy
http://www.perranwell.co.uk/moghtml/0carsales.htm

But the model to go for is the 4/4. They come in 2 seats and 2+2 with early models having bench seats in the back and newer models having bucket seats in the back. Theres a variety of engines to choose from, my personal favourite being the 3.9L Rover. A lot of info can be found here http://www.mscc.uk.com/modelhistory2.htm

Oh - and if you like them and think you could sacrifice the extra 2 seats, look at the Plus 8 Morgans. More power, bigger engine.

@Rockefella - Might want to read this and get off of his case http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18353

You don't have to point out the rules to me, I know and understand them.

He's been asked multiple times to egg-nog his cars and his responses have been similar to Ali baba's, just off-topic and useless. I have reason to doubt him, and will continue to unless he posts some proof.

The Sagaris' interior is identical to that of the T350c bar a few bits of carbon trim here and there maybe. It'll look exactly the same as the picture I posted previously, so it ain't a 2+2.

Alright - I'm starting to agree with you now. What he has been saying does seem far fetched.
