Sagaris detailed

[Jayplay]

Owner of this uses it just for track purposes and wanted it looking its best again so was booked in for full paint correction along with wheels removed

Vehicle was given the usual wash and decontamination stages and then wheels were removed.

Wheels

Wheels were cleaned with Epsuma Wheel revolution and de-tarred with Tardis

The wheel faces were stained and I tried several products to shift this but nothing work so ended up machine polishing these to remove the stubborn stains

Wheels were then clayed and then wiped down with IPA before being sealed with Nanolex Alloy Sealant

Arches were degreased and cleaned with BH Surfex and Tardis

There was some painted areas under the bonnet i wanted to machine polish so the 2 sections of bonnet were removed. These areas were machine polished using a DA. This also enabled me to give the engine bay a wipe down.

Paint correction was carried out using a Menz 3.02 and 3M Yellow Polishing pad with some areas requiring me to step up to a Lake County Light Cutting Pad

What a cool looking car. I miss TVR.

Superb! Thought that was a Mk2 for a second, but it's just a different exhaust.

That is great.
I've noticed a few absolutely mint TVRs in Newcastle recently, like the Sagaris and the T350C. These 2 are my favourites. Trouble is, they aren't bargains. It seems to me that after TVR went pop, the second hand values have stayed strong, possibly even gone up in a few cases?
