* The little red LED (Complete with attached, unused wire) that goes in the bit of black plastic at the top of the rear screen to show the alarm's active.

* Possibly a TVR keyring.

* Some blue colour-magic polish; the car's GOT to be blue, right?

Hmmm, this could get really interesting... If someone (Gazza) pulls together a spreadsheet of everything needed, and it starts getting filled in by everyone willing to donate, then you can put all of the duplicate items on fleaBay to fund the purchase of anything missing.

Then you've got to wonder what would be the most fitting use for a collaborative Cerb project once complete...

There's a Cerb gearbox on eBay for £250 if need be.

I have lots of nuts and bolts that seemed to be spare once I had fixed something.
I have lots of tie wraps and some bits of tape.

Two old back tyres
A set of 16" wheels
A wiper motor
A keyfob
Some bits of alarm
1 Rear ARB
A sense of humour
Some bits of rubber trim from somewhere
Black mastic
Some number plates (these are quite specific )

I also have some buckets of water, these can be applied to any cerbera footwell for a truly authentic feel.

I have an old childs swing and I can weld so I could probably make half the chassis (you may laugh but I did rebuild my M chassis a few years ago although to be honest I bought the proper steel).

I have some old bits of M and Griff kicking about it we decided to make it a hybrid

I think slvcrb has an old 4.2 sitting in his garage, or at least most parts of one. So, just need a chassis and we're done
