Hi All

Ive been looking through the classifieds for a cerb for sale with the posibility of a part ex or swap, nothing seems to be available.

Ive got a very late Taimar, build date start 8th october 1979, registered 9th october 1980 thats had a full, and I mean FULL mechanical rebuild including chassis, all running gear, engine, gearbox, suspension... basically, if it could be unbolted whilst the chassis was being powdercoated, then it was, and sent for powdercoating or refurbed whilst off.

Im looking for a swap of sorts, as Ive currently got my 350i FHC 2+2 in bits having the same chassis restoration and mechanical rebuild treatment and Im wanting to get the family out in a TVR this year!

Anything considered, needing chassis work or mild engine work up to something tax and tested and ready to drive.

Message me through my profile if you have, or know of anyone who may be interested and Ill happily send photos of my restoration etc.


Thanks

Stu

Hi Glen

I messaged him last week as it would have been perfect, but I dont think the Taimar was on his list of classics, so no go Im afraid!

Hi, I might be very interested, can't say I was planning to ever part company with my Cerbera but this year was always going to be tight, daughter going to university etc, so it's been a possibility, so much that I was planning to advertise next month see if anyone is interested, however this sounds exciting.
I have a 99 speed6 30k miles engine described as mint, and a full ground up chassis rebuild by Willow Sportscars completed 14 months ago, the whole story and pictures is on here if you search T540 VHO.
I'm out with the wife presently and struggling to see all the photbucket pictures but I'll get a better look this evening, message me if my Cerb is up your street, She is currently SORN for the winter, run every week, kept in a heated garage on an accumate charger,let me know what you think,
Cheers
Karl

Didn't you know that if you can't sell a TVR the first time round you just put the price up until it does wink
