OK well not quite a detail job, and I have to be honest detailing the Sagaris would probably be the most impossible task 
Well, on (Saturday 9th) I was lucky enough to visit Oulton Park, a race track in Cheshire in the UK. This was no ordinary track day though, it was in fact a TVR track day, and we were there in a Westfield racing around the circuit with all of these monster TVR's.
Two of these cars took my eye, the first because of its paint job, I can now say that this car is a T350C and there is a great site here which shows several of them and how they are made, and some interior shots of the car and engine ... http://www.sleepy-fish.com/t350c.htm. That is not a camera versus sun reflection you are seeing, that is the actual colour of the car, this thing is amazing, and looks a different colour at different angles.
The second of the cars is the Sagaris, and this is unbeievable up close. I spoke to the owner who ordered the car 4 months ago, and now has it in his possession, however and he was most frustrated about this, he couldn't run it above 3,000RPM as it was still being run in, and he was bursting to get this thing on the track. Apparently these cars (unlike almost all other TVR's) handles like a dream as it was designed by the Nobel engineer

Apparently you can have the Sagaris upgraded, this would take the car up to 600BHP!!!!!!!!! In a car weighing less than a 1000 KGs!
For those of us who clean cars, I noticed that it had a 'clear bra' going all around the bottom half of the car, basically my photos don't do the paintwork justice, but when you see the paint job you will realise that the owner did the right thing having this fitted, as a small tin of spray paing from your local halfords is not going to patch this up no way!
Anyway, I thought you wouldn't mind looking at these pics of these most unusual (even in the UK) cars from Blackpool. Enjoy them.
