Who penned the Cerbera, Tuscan and Sagaris?? Was it one man, a team of people or 3 different people?

I was just reading someone saying the new Mclaren looks bland and I was thinking that the TVR designer who can create something as beautiful as the Tuscan, scary looking as the Sagaris or as brutish and graceful as the Cerbera could do wonders with a huge budget behind them.

Does anyone know who it was and what they are up to now?

What about the other ones in between?

Apart from anything else modern TVRs have design cues taken from older TVRs. There is a definite lineage to the design that you wouldn't be able to recreate for someone like Maclaren.

Damian McTaggart had a hand in the designs. I'm not sure whether he had any involvement in the Tuscan and Sagaris, but he was certainly responsible for the Cerbera. He designed the Marcos TSO a few years ago, which of course disappeared off the radar fairly soon after its introduction. It was a great looking car though.

Yeah I know the Griff is pretty too, I was just using those as an example because they are a break from the norm. The chim, tamora etc aren't crazy in anyway like the Tuscan / Sagaris are.
