Kind of interesting......

That's had an easy life then!

I'd want a full new power train after Mr Grant had used a car, at an absolute minimum..

[topsparks]

Is that the car that got flooded in an accident and had to be rebuilt?

I think this is the same car

[truck71]

How far could you drive with the Targa panel removed until the rear hatch turned into pic 5?

[nrick]

I was thinking the same, wonder what a sag front Tuscan mk2 rear would look like. I saw glens sagamora and was impressed with that....

He did say at one of his shows that his Tamora had been slightly tuned and could hit 200mph. Now that I would like to see I wonder how many rebuilds his Tamora has had? There's not much mechanical sympathy when he's gunning it around in one of his shows.

I see Terry's van parked up round my way alot..... never met the man, and only ever seen one of his TVR's (it was either a T350 or Tamora.. can't remember as so long ago)being towed on trailor attached to his van.

So where do you put the roof panel ?
Doesnt look like it fits in the back and if it does where do you put your luggage ?.

It looks good but if I was heading towards the South of France for holidays I wouldnt be thinking of leaving the roof at home.
Thats where a Tuscan, Chimaera, Griff etc. work. Roof goes in boot but still leaves loads of luggage space.

Sorry to be negative but for me there is more to car design than a nice shape.

Good luck trying to insure that for a small sum of £££

When I first built this car my main concern was pressure build up in the back whilst driving with the targa off and thought I might have to incorporate some vents to avert the problem. I have driven the car to Chatsworth from Bedfordshire with the roof off and upto at least motorway speeds and had no problem.
The roof does ( of coures )fit in the back and does reduce the luggage capacity by its own volume like every other TVR. The luggage capacity is still greater than that of a Tamora and maybe a griff too and can be accessed with the roof in place .
The insurance should not be much more than a standard TVR .This car was built using genuine factory sagaris backend and frontend panels and copies are available from myself and others. I am sure the Sagora cost little more to insure than a standar car.

Hi Plasticman,
Think I got out of the grumpy side of the bed this morning so apologies for the wording of my comments. Maybe I should have more politely asked the questions regarding the roof and luggage space.
I appreciate the fact that people like yourself are still pushing TVR boundaries and keeping our imaginations alive.
Thanks,
Tony.

Both cars look great and shows what talented individuals are out there? Great job plastic man!
Sorry for spelling above, cooking tea and typing on an iPad is not easy, hope I don't burn in hell.

I bloody love this car! Right plasticman, a four-seater TVR-something next please! Got to get another TVR, and can't wait til my son is old enough to drive himself around in 17 years time!

[nrick]

Would this work for a t350, could you stitch a sag front end on?

I don't suppose the Sag bodyparts cost much if any more than the Tam so I suspect the only difference in premium would be due to the insurance Cat C/D classification. Can't see the detail in the pic but overall quite like these coversions.
