Sagaris convertible

[McAndy]

Good afternoon. I've just been browsing around in flickr and found somephotos of a Sagaris convertible (one displayed from richebets' profile). Does anybody have information on this such as when, why, how and whether or not the drivetrain is still standard Sag? Thanks. Andy

Sagmora - IIRC it's one of Plasticman's creations.

Of course! Now you've said it I can see the Tamora in the cabin 'cut' and roof fold.

I haven't shown this to The Whiff yet. She loves:

• Sagarises (Sagarii?)
• Ginger cars
• Convertibles

I fear if she sees this I'll wake up one morning with only one kidney and eBay listing notifications!

If TVR Power started making these I'd buy one tomorrow.
Love the Tamora front and side but not the rear. Had a griff for 10 years and still love the shape, but now got a T 350 and really miss not having a folding roof.
Real opportunity missed by the Factory in my opinion.

This is actually a Tamora iirc, with front and rear Sag-ends grafted on. Big feature in Sprint magazine about a year ago.

I am sure it was running sag length wishbones and several other mods.

[RedSpike66]

Probably.

I am pretty sure that Raceproved have terry grants one for sale, again one of plasticmans creations.

I didn`t rate it very highly TBH when I first saw it last year, but to be fair it was still kitted out as a stunt car, it has since been converted back as a very nice road car, and very smart it is too.

I've spoken to David, (plasticman) about a conversion.

The one in your picture is in fact a Tamora with the front and rear of a Sagaris grafted on. There's a few mods that can be done to your existing chassis to get the right proportions and fit or you can buy a Sagaris chassis and have it built using that. You'll need a few Sag/T350 parts in it as well for completion.

I'm looking at getting a Tuscan converted as I prefer the Targa look but at the moment have other thing's to spend my money on. The prices are extremely good in my opinion and since i'm looking at my next TVR as a keeper, i'm not bothered about any resale values. From everything i've read, David's workmanship is second to none.

I believe terry grant`s car was a tuscan conversion.

You believe correct! I think there is 2 Tamora conversions and 1 Tuscan conversion with another in the process of being constructed!
