TVR production has resumed at new TVR development works in Lancashire, with a new TVR Sagaris promised for next year.
The new TVR Sagaris model year 2008 looks essentially the same as the previous model, but adds five- spoke wheels and a rear exhaust, while the interior gets a new center console with satnav system.
Preliminary pricing for the 2008 TVR Sagaris is likely to be just under £70K.
The company is still owned by Russian millionnaire Nikolai Smolenski who bought the company several years before TVR slid into bankruptcy.
Smolenski then bought back the company from administrators, before threatening to take production to mainland Europe.

Day four of our trawl through the Top 10 Supercars of the last decade can mean only one thing. And it's excruciatingly loud, justifiably proud and a complex anagram of TVR SAGARIS. Good luck.
