Duxford Mania

Hundreds of TVRs gathered in Cambridgeshire on Sunday

The bonnet is a prototype and will be slightly modified from the one shown before production. Fitting is a straight swop for the original TVR version but it has better constructed catches.

Can you tell us/show us any more of the Charisma Cerbera,
Wow!!!!!

I have two avi-s of the charisma cerbera. One of it reversing into position at Duxford and one of its interior.
File size about 5Meg each if anybody wants a copy they will need to be broadband. Just ask and will email direct.

There are a few pics of the Charisma Cerb on my site too www.tvr-cerbera.fsnet.co.uk/duxford.htm

(also pics of the Zertec Bonnet on there too)

[mark]

Is the bonnet going to be available for a chimaera?

[sheff3]

Russell,
I suspect that my work e-mail/hardware might be able to handle it. I'll drop you my address, thanks.

Not wanting to resurrect an ogre of a thread, but with respect to the Carisma Cerbie - I like aspects of what's been done with the car and love the interior with one noteable exception: The 'cut-outs' in the seats appear to be trimmed in some sort of cheapo black edging like the sills of a 'regular' TVR. Shame really, because the rest of the interior trimming looks 1st class. Was this an oversight?

If you modify a car this much insurance has got to be a nightmare, and if so little of the original car remains would it need to be re SVA tested, it may be the angle of the photo but the speaker in the passenger door looks a bit close to where your knees would be?

Just uploaded great stuff I've recieved from Dan.

Loads of video stills of the runway sprinting, plus his story of the day.

It's all at www.tvrcc-bristol.co.uk

Interesting , it looks like, see the Dunc 3_1, 4_1 & 5_1 pics, that who ever's taking the pictures is about to T-Bone your car .
Great phots, great noise, great day out.

It's not quite as bad as it looks - Honest !
We were cornering fairly hard, but we both eased into the corner and made no sudden changes in speed or turn radius.

Besides, Dan and I have done a lot of driving together this Summer and I guess we trust each other not to do anything too stupid.

The event I went to was on Saturday 10th August. Did I get the wrong date?
Just a touch dissapointed by the lack of TVR enthusiast autojumble type stuff for sale.
A thought for next year perhaps Andy?

I wasn't too far away from the 'Fyffes Special' after the sprinting, I will have to get a PH t-shirt or something for such occasions (or get a t-shirt with a picture of my car on the front).

Hopefully I'll catch you at another event.

Cheers Dan

Yup the piccys were taken from the vid footage just as Nacnud hoofed it round the cones.

One clip I would like to get on the web is the 3 SEAC's getting the power down out of the start cones, the picture is a little shakey but I think you get a good impression of the speed and sound... at one point you can almost hear the Griff
