Cerbera - Targa Top !

[rev-erend]

Has anyone else spotted the ad at the back of Sprint for a conversion of a Cerbera to a Targa Top..

Anyone had it done / Tempted ?

I've no connections to them by the way !

How do they get round the integral roll cage?

[FourWheelDrift]

Perhaps they've hinged it.

Leave cerbs alone!

[esse1974]

[gbbird]

I agree - leave cerb roofs WELL alone!

[Stu247]

Chims and Griffs with hard tops.....Cerbs with holes cut in their roofs...

Role reversal here or what ??

Whatever next

The world's going mad I tell ye....mad

morning all ... has been debated on here before .. Greg at newlundesign had started a project but not finished ...

burn me as a witch if you will but i think it could be good ... its always going to be more of a sunroof than true targa though with thte roll cage!

not sure Ill take a jigsaw to mine as a guinea pig tho! ... DAS

Look at all the 911s from the 80s that had body kits to make them look like newer models, wheels from newer models, flat nose conversions, colour coding, graphic equalisers etc... Who wants to buy a car like that now , who wants to pay to put it back to original...?
Surely in the long term we should preserve the originality of the cars and keep mods sensible eg nitrons and spiders. Thats my view!

I love people modifying their cars .. a targa roof would be one of the first things I'd have on a cerbera .. the roof is crying out for it!

The world and his dog are modifying their cars with LW light conversions, afterburners, suspension and brakes, wheels, flippety floppety paint schemes, superchargers, nitrous, ecus. I say good on 'em.

The time to stop modifying is when there's only a handful of cars left in the world of any one make .. whilstever there's plenty of cerberas around I say go for it

I only mentioned it as a former Cerbera owner (and CC chairman) was always hankering after a sunroof in his Cerbera .. part of missing his Chim I recon.

Don't any of you guys (and Gals) ever get slightly claustrophobic is the Cerb

Personally - I can't wait to see the first one done.

Great idea

Agree with Joolspeed, I for one would have loved a Cerbera after the Chimaera but the lack of open air stopped me.

This modification really changes things for alot of prospective buyers who like the fresh air, does depend on how well the modification has beeen carried out tho, as even the T350Ts design is a bit noisy at 'continental' speed, maybe with one roof panel it will be better? does the Cerbera have a bar down the centre of teh roof section that would have to be avoided with such a system?

I must admit news of this post has got me quite revved up about a Cerbera purchase again and thats a good thing in my book

I understand that Webasto fitted two Cerberas with sunroofs circa 1999 for a TVR Engineering feasibility study.

Loads of old Vixens and Taimars had roofs put in, in the 7Ts and I remember 205s/Renault 5s having the same thing done in the 8Ts.

[FourWheelDrift]

And wasn't the Cerbera orignally designed to have a Targa roof.

Im sure that is gregs project you have in the piccy there??? ... I must admit I think its tempting ... better hold onto my pennies for the emergency repair fund though! ... DAS

Not so sure, always thought that was a very old shot.

Be interesting if it does turns out to be Greg's though - I'll know shortly.

Unles Greg is building a cerbera with a lengthened grifftih chassis, Ford brakes and fuor stud hubs, chimaera windscreen and citroen door mirros. I think that's a *very* early pre production factory effort

[redleicester]

How about a full-length electro-chromic glass roof? It'd fit nicely inbetween the roll bars, and you could make it opaque at the touch of a button (and a flat battery!)

Can someone get the details of the company that is doing this conversion, out of the back of sprint magazine for me, pretty pleeeeeeez......

Thanks
