Sagaris shell on ebay

[Modrich]

Anyone been watching the Sagaris shell on ebay? While I was waiting to see what it went for I looked through the pictures again, then noticed it appears that the pictures are of 2 different cars, the green Sagaris shell then what is supposed to be the same shell in primer but it looks like there's no roof bulge, the inside looks different, there's no cage and the original colour looks like it was red...Looks a bit suspect.

Just noticed in the 3rd pic I posted (just fixed the link) through the windscreen there's another Sag shell, probably the green one that they're supposed to be selling...

I'm in the Canaries at the moment, might have a gap in the suitcase if anyone wants me to bring it back for them.

Go take a look, think they've got a Sag production line on the go, that one through the windscreen isn't the green one, there's no cage in that one either...

Or buy something like this, 530hp LS3 and so on, you just need to stick a license plate on that :-) maybe register it as a kitkar

Notoriously dodgy dealer apparently, banned from most TVR social media groups under various names, I believe it is the ‘Grex’ automotive lot/guy, supposedly making sag and Tuscan replicas or continuations.

[Modrich]

interesting, let's hope no one strikes a deal outside of ebay it had 125 watchers. Must be using the genuine green shell to make knock-off copies...

so this is the red one in primer...

120k euros for a knockoff Sagaris or Tuscan...

Person behind it likes to use photos of real Sagaris stolen from Facebook groups and Pistonheads, photoshops his company name over the number plates and pretends he built them. Complete clown and banned from most TVR groups for his rudeness and arrogance.

He also has a crypto coin for sale..

He pops up on the Facebook groups from time to time but his posts are quickly removed by admin

There’s be a strong argument that he’s actually yet to make one, never seen one finished, progressed, or know of any orders. As said previously, he just spams the TVR pages with shell shots or other people’s Sag’s

I can help clear this up. The green shell was mine, when I was doing my LS sagaris build I found this green shell in North America and brought it back to the UK, the picture of the shell in the crate in the advert is in my garden after shopping from the states.

I ended up going in a different direction with my car so I sold it, it went to Italy and then I guess to Spain with the same guy, he might have used it to make moulds for his Sag business but this is a genuine shell from the factory - although a lightweight early one. I put the number plate recesses etc in the back of the shell.

I’ve dealt with him a few times for various things (including sending land rovers to the USA) and never had any trouble, he’s been honest and good to deal with.

Thanks rhyspw, he hasn't done himself any favours with that ebay ad, surely he realises that anyone looking to buy a Sag shell would spot these sort of errors hence why it didn't reach his reserve.

Does anyone have any experience with Lucas at Grex? Anyone take delivery of one of his cars?

[Basil Brush]

€52k for a shell and chassis seems like a crazy amount of money, when real Sags are around 20k more?
