Look at what my mum found in the old photo drawer......
Discussion
I had some photo's of the Cerbera 'design development process' (ahem - but it worked). This must have been from 1994/95? Those were the days... At this time I was a student working in the summer holidays at TVR to help out with the usual birmingham motor show panic.
This was the Chimaera body specially made as the basis for the change - extra thick layup with extra reinforcements. On the left is the Tuscan Camm tail, a project that Nick Coughlan was working on, which got shelved to prioritise the Cerbera.
The starting point of the Cerbera interior which Nick lead.
The rear interior which I worked on under the supervision of Nick - which I am very proud. Do not mention the front grille wing for the show car though..... when I left back for college the whole thing had to be redone by a 'professional' in a very short time. Fortunately they cooled off later and took me back the following years. When I bumped into Damien in 2005 for the first time since 98 he did bring this subject back up and make me buy him a pint. I am now also friends with the clay modeller who unbeknown to me redid my job - so your the numpty that ballsed up the front causing all nighters...
I am sure the next tidy out maybe the griffith update (not the speed six), the speed six, Tuscan and speed 12 photos may come to light..
