Anyone recognise this Cerbera?
Discussion
Impressive colour, never really thought the cerbera would suit a bright colour like that but it does.
On recognising the car, it's the one from North Scotland with the engine smoke above 5k RPM? If I was in a different circumstance I would have been up for buying it though it would still be in bits in my garage. Glad to see the bonnet vents have been binned.

Well done you got it....I bought it unseen which ended up upsetting someone on here but I didn't know at the time anyone was after it, but at £7400 it was too much of a bargain to miss, having 12 months MOT a few months tax and a spare sports exhaust.. My view was at that price I can put in a new engine have the chassis restored if/when need be have it painted and the interior redone and I wouldn't lose much money if anything I could be quids in.
It had had a £2k head refurb good tyres it goes like stink and everything works. I have a lot of history with the car it has done over 70k miles but in 14 years that's nothing plus they are far better used than sat in a garage. It once belonged to Carbon Al I think and there must nearly £2k of carbon bits with the car, the engine compartment looks great with the carbon air box and trim. It goes in next week for a full new interior in black leather with orange stitching and a few bits in orange leather. Carpets in black with orange piping. I have bought a set of Tamora seats to put in that will be heated, I am keeping the carbon door cards but not the carbon rear shelf/cubby hole and instrument surround. The roof will be black alcantara with orange stitching.
I didn't like the bonnet vents so had them filled in and I had the wheels restored in gloss black and the calipers painted. It looks great in this weather the original green was just a bit too subdued for my liking and cars like these suit bright colours methinks! I know it will not be to everyone's liking but I love it, the colour is an Audi Orange. Some pics of the car during paint before and after...
I will post some more pictures of the interior when it is finished.

You wont lose it in a car park, that's for sure. Tangerine Dream.
Have you thought about some of these to finish it off? http://www.racetechdirect.co.uk/tvr-car-part-rd305...

A well known car on here, I owned it for a while, I always wanted to put a stainless dash in there but never got around to it.
Glad to see its getting treated to lots of TLC, as you say was a bargain price (I was tempted to buy it back) it had APM change the headgaskets and give the engine a check over while in my ownership so should be a good one.
