Ah. Never seen one without the manifold over the top.

I'm guessing that shifts a bit then?

Good work! Did it take a lot of work adapting the engine bay to install?
I have a Mk 3 which I have plans for and an engine upgrade is high on the list. There are quite a few out there that have various donor engines but most appear to have involved a lot of reworking to the bulkhead.

[hoppo4.2]

it took a massive amount of cutting an moving around to make it fit.

How many Yamaha's are carb-less now then?

Looks good!

It seems that a number of us Cerbera owners are also secret Spitfire fans (provided enough CCs can be found of course)

I know Joo (TCS) has got one which he's trying to get a V8 in and I've got a MkIII with a TR6 lump moved back half a foot or so. I really fancy that BMW idea though, they really make delectable straight sixes.

What have you got at the rear - standard swing spring and 3.89 / 3.63 diff

[hoppo4.2]

yeah the back is still standard for now working on getting it to run right with the carbs at the min but it dose need taller gears.


the vx is so much fun but i do miss the power and presence of the cerb
