It's nice, and I really like it and appreciate the effort that has gone into it.
But it's not actually a Sagaris, is it? It looks more like a parallel evolution of the T350. More cousin of Sagaris than an actual Sagaris evolution.
I'd be very interested in knowing how expensive and feasible it would be to put a V8 in a standard road-going Sagaris though.

You might want to check the Cerbera forum then.But it's not actually a Sagaris, is it? It looks more like a parallel evolution of the T350. More cousin of Sagaris than an actual Sagaris evolution.

Exactly, nice, but not spawned from a real Saggy- to be reccognised as a TVR race car TVR need to get behind one of these hybrids and sponsor it, if they did it would be the best single make series about.But it's not actually a Sagaris, is it?

In reality apart from the shape of the engine bay, which can be altered, there is not a lot of difference in the chassis. Excellent to see Tim's new car out and best of luck to the guys this weekend. Mine should be complete in another 2-3 weeks - not a GTF: very similar in many ways and quite different in a few.
Not keen on the front end and the doors look a bit weird (both to improve it for racing i accept)
Be good to see these bought by lots of racing teams like the Ginetta G50 which has been very successful as a ready to race car.
Anyone know if they get the bodies from TVR themselves? or have they their own racing moulds? Probably going to need plenty of spares.

Not at all mate,
I know the guys want to build and drive the cars we would love to own.
Constructive criticism is what its all about.
(tho obviously they hope you love them too!)
The doors for example sit slightly unequal when open, but this is due to the differing roof sides. A sag feature they wanted to keep. Made the conversion alot more complex than if they'd change the roof, but its an inherent Sag feature.
There do have to be SOME changes from the actual car...obviously.

Thank you for all your comments
The mouth peice is there to get some air into the 25% bigger than standard radiator the large oil cooler the diff and gearbox cooler. The plumming all of which was a nightmare!!
The gullwing doors make for quick easy access as the main problem with getting in and out of a standard car is there is nothing to hold on to except the door which is very lghtweight and fragile. the apeture is also smaller as the normal roof covers the top roll bar. Both doors when they are fully up are dead level on the top although the gap to the roof is different due to the hump - Took ages to get the hinge to work, drew it up on cad loads of times and still had to tweak it on the car.
We are very pleased with the look of the car and so far it has gone realy well but could not have done it without a lot of help from a lot of people who I thought I would start listing but then I realised if I missed someone out it would not be fair.
We hope you like the car - But don't mind if you don't as we buit what we liked.
If you are at silverstone this weekend come and have a closer look and say hello. Hopefully we won't be under the car fixing it but you never know on the first race.

Nice work Terry - the car is a real credit to you and Tim. Are you not slightly alarmed though that Andy apparently has you building a further 8 cars by the end of the year and road legal cars after that
I'd love to come and see you all on Saturday but I really need to put the hours in on mine to get it finished - it is now tantalisingly close!
Very best of luck if I don't make it - look forward to hearing all about it (and hopefully not having to do a redesign before I have even finished!!)
Cheers
