They keep turning up, or are they all the same car, which keeps being rebuit? Tim Hood seems to be mentioned a lot. How many cars did he drive?

And what is it exactly? An old Tuscan Challenge chassis, with a US V8 and a modified, Sagaris(ish) body, built by a racing team. Does the team actually exist any longer? When did it last race, or do anything?

Is there a market for these cars?

And if you google - gtf racing sagaris - is this the same car again in various different guises?

Your 1st link seems to answer the question :

"The Sagaris is already a cult classic supercar on the road and the seven race cars produced always draw huge attention from the crowd and commentators."

The one in the 3rd link has small print saying it's only a rolling chassis ; most of the photos are misleading, as they are not the car for sale.

The last link in your post has a picture of 4 in a row, so definitely more than one!

There is an interesting article on the blackpoolthunder website about the GTF Sagaris. The car is a modified Tuscan Challenge chassis with a lightweight Sagaris body.

It's member only, but you can see the intro:
