TVR Sagaris GTF

The first TVR Sagaris race car, built by GTF race team at the TVR Factory at Bristol Avenue.

The car raced very successfully over the 2006 season in it’s original TVR AJP v8 format winning many races in the TVR Challenge @10, Dutch Supercar, Combe GT and Britcar. Driven by Tim Hood.

The car was then shelved to build a Chevy Britcar 24hr car.

#1 was then purchased by its 2nd/current owner who fully rebuilt the car (2017) and upgraded the car to the latest GTF spec Chevy v8 (John Eales 6.8L LS2) and Quaife Sequential gearbox. These engines were built specifically for the GTF cars by John and LS then became the standard spec as the TVR engines were no longer available. The engines were built from of the (usa) shelf parts for price and availability. The whole rotating assembly (steel crank, forged rods and pistons were) only $2700 at time of build!!

Since the rebuild, the car has been used sparingly due to covid etc with only @10hrs testing and 1x All-comers sprint race on the fully rebuilt car. It won again.

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. Road cars are still fetching £80k+ for top examples.
