Thats the one alright. Only his one looks nothing like that.

As far as I can see, it's just a modified Evo so it's not a rare car so to speak as there's plenty of Evo's around. If you want rare and raw, look at the TVR sagaris, cheaper than the evo, better looking than the evo, rarer than the evo and it'll deffo keep you on your toes!

Oh, and the only 1 in the country, is 1 of 2 07 reg cars, 2 of the last ever TVR's to registered!

could have been the same one ,are you sure its a cc3 version ,was it big and shapley and wide or a little boxey ,if so its a vigour cc2 version which is very alike ,you can tell em apart by the front the bottom spot lights are orange on the cc2 (vigour) and clear on the cc3 (inspire).if it is an inspire id be very intrested to locate another

There are a lot more than that. around 200 at a guess.

YraggarY

Ah Colm, I wasn't aware you were active on Boards! I was going based on the register over at the Sera site! I should probably keep schtum in future! :pac:

colm_mcm

maybe there are less, or people are playing down the actual numbers of them around

YraggarY

I can't imagine there being all that many though.. Most people who have one would probably have googled them to find info about parts etc., and surely would've come across the forum? Then again, not everybody says hello! :pac:

Anyone know any numbers, V.R.O. number perhaps, that could tell you how many of each type of car are registered in the country?

Could put an end to the Rarest car in Ireland question!

I've only ever seen one in this country. Its occasionally parked around the corner from me. Tis a dark gold colour. Lovely looking car and sounds amazing.

I've seen a red Nsx, so rules that one out.. A type R would be a different story though!

My brother has a Pulsar VZ-R in Saloon format which is I`d say quite rare over here.

Ive got one in coupe format, no not a hatchback, a coupe.

There's one I know of in Lexus Ireland registered as a Demo, and there's one in HB Dennis's showroom's in Airside. There's also one for sale in Galway, so that makes three. Rare enough I suppose!

I've seen two on the road...so there's 4 accounted for!

There used to be one in Castleknok/Carpenterstown a few years ago, think they have a Mustang now, and I saw one in Ballivor one day too, very rare all the same

The UKDM Teg...I think I've seen one other since I got mine, in Balldonnell about a week ago...lovely it was
