Does anyone know if the chimaera bonnet fits the Cerbera?, I think it's a better looking bonnet for starters and I would presume it's better for cooling due to the larger vents at the sides

Don't think so.....cerb bonnet is longer.....am willing to stand corrected in orthopedic shoes ...... however I don't see why you couldn't add the style of vent into the current cerb bonnet....would certainly look better than some bonnet vent styles!!!

I thought the same as every aftermarket vent I've seen looks grim ( in my opinion), so keeping it tvr should be acceptable , there's a smashed up one on eBay that I could probably take a mould of the vents on and graft them to mine if the Chimaera and cerbera bonnets are different

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll get a couple of moulds.
There's a chap who parks his chimp in my local Waitrose so if I get there quick I'll get some moulds without him knowing biggrin

The recent book about TVR 'Cars of the Peter Wheeler era' shows the 1993 London Motor Fair pre-production Cerbera which appears to have a Chimera style bonnet.

There's one photo on Flickr when I google - a metallic red, but it's at a poor angle. The photo in the book (page 99) is slightly better.
