Hi, I have today purchased a Cerbera, due to family commitments (two kids), the Griff is going to have to go!

I am trying to get hold of a TVR Recaro Baby Seat for a two year old. Can anyone help me please?

All the best to all you TVR owners,

Colin

This is the type I used. Many owners use these.

wavey Hi Colin - just been talking to Steve - who you met at Sebrings today! Look forward to catching up with you at a meet! Are you thinking of Chatsworth on 25th by any chance? smile

Hi, Thats right. Myself and my wife Andrea, met Steve and his good lady yesterday, what a lovely couple.
Steve was a mind of useful information about the Cerbera that i had just purchased, sight unseen and undriven? Have I made a mistake????

I will try and do Chatsworth and catch up with all you TVR owners if I have taken delivery of my Cerbera by then.

All the best,

Knobby

Just a thought, is the TVR approved Recaro baby seat marked to let you know that it was manufactured for TVR?

I take it that it is for the Cerbera rear seats?

No.
TVR bdisde a recaro to make their own seat that I think isnt as good as the recaro start.
If you look out you may find an original TVR one - they are leather, come up rarely and were mostly circa 96 - 98.
I say just get one from ebay.

Guilty as charged. How the hell does all this information fly around so quickly? I only joined PH yesterday?

You are correct, Red Ball Blue (although I did not know that was the name of the colour). 03 Plate, 41K as you correctly detected.

I gather that you know Steve?

I have a "97" Griff 500 that I love, and can not bear to part with. but I feel that the missus and bank manager may have other ideas!!! I should take delivery of the Cerb this week.

Thank you very much for the tips on baby seats, I have a couple on the go on ebay as you suggested.

Im going to pop into HALFORDS tomorrow to check out the current prices.

Cheers,

Knobby

Steve knows everyone! I have met him 3 or 4 times.

I worked it out by:-

i) Amazon said you met Steve at Sebring
ii) Autotrader has a blue for sale there.

You should get strong money for the Griff (hmmm I'd be tempted by one !).

I am not sure Halfrauds sell these chairs anymore?

Recaro Start recommended. Also think about a Recaro Start Impact Cushion for slightly older children.

I am working on a "solution" to cover the set belt bolt whiich is just at Kiddie head height too - watch this space....

Welcome to the fold! You've picked a great practical family car wink

Hi,

with the cerbera now gone I have a TVR child seat I no longer require.

It's magnolia / cream leather with red stitching, also comes with the base plate and the mounting bar.

E-mail me if interested

Hi Gazzab - not sure this is the same Steve that you are thinking of.... however, could be wrong (unlikely though - I'm a woman wink) laugh

Hi Mal,

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any photos of it?

It sounds fantastic, does it have the speakers in the head restraint?

How old is it?

Was it fitted in the back of your Cerbera?

Was this one of the genuine TVR baby seats?

How much are you looking for?

Thank you,

Knobby

Will look out for an obvious woman, I assume your PH handle is relevant.... Fubars and TC's are relevant, so I suppose yours is.
