Cerb Prototype

[Graham]

Is it just my imagination or do I recall seeing a picture ( part built) of a very early cerb prototype, built on a swb chassis possibly a chim/griff chassis. Does anyone have a copy of this pic or anymore information?

Cheers G

p.s. whats the cerb wheelbase

I've tried looking for the picture but havent yet found it, IIRC its an early prototype of the Cerb with a Targa roof set up... not sure on length of the standard car, dont have anything with the figures to hand. I take it you are looking to put the body onto your Tuscan Racer chassis??

would be interesting to see how different the rear suspension is aswell .. there's not many different cerb chasis around though warren at topcats was advertising one on ebay a while back but i know who's bought that one and the project sounds interesting

Have you noticed how that car was the test bed for the 4.5. Yet, if that's accurate, looking at that car, it was with the 4.2 intakes.

Perhaps that's where the 420 bhp figure came from

Does anyone know why they tested with that induction, but changed it for the hoses.

According to my handbook the Cerbera wheelbase is 2566mm.

I was wondering exactly the same thing! Is this the HP nirvana?!

That's built on a Viper chassis I beleive.

It was the SLR mule that was built on Cerb chassis.
