SAGARIS V8 - Dunlop Tuscan Challenge, Silverstone

[kmpowell]

Running an AJP8 apparantly.

Or is it a Tuscan racer with a Sagaris body , looks rather nice either way

I'd love to learn more about the engine conversion. Like whether its practically possibly remotely doable to a road going T350. Since I 'think' they're using the same clutch and gearbox it 'might' be less complex than we think. Of course it could be blimmin hard needing a custom sump, chassis mods etc.

It's a tuscan chassis with an ajp8 engine and a super dooper light weight saggy body special transmission parts, very special! In fact the whole car is special and very professionally turned out, I'm impressed.

I think he meant hes doing a T350 S6 > T350 AJP conversion

saw it racing today and was very impressed, it was third overall for much of the race at Castle Coombe behind a pair of 3.5L open top GT's.

Is it a Sagaris with a V8 or a racing tuscan with a Sagaris body?

After the s12 it was the most impressive TVR race car i have seen - looked stunning and very fast..

Pretty sure race tuscan underneath, several being done apparently.. privately (ie not tvr)

[DJC]

If somebody has nicked my idea for a full carbon bodied 'gris, Im going to be miffed!

[sideways mostly]

Wonder if they could be persuaded to build a road going version?
