I knew I was doing the wrong thing when I sold my S2.

I had previously Crashed my Chimera 500 and ended up being banned from driving for some considerable time.

I had always intended to do a full body off restoration of the S2 which I had owned for 13 years, just before I got my licence back, unfortunately Life got in the way.

We bought a new house "For a Steal" however it was going to take up my time, and still does 5 years later doing it up.

Just found this on FleaBay, I am 99.9999% sure it is / was my beloved S2. The Cerbera Seats and location of the TVR Car Club Sticker finally convincing me.

To say I am gutted is an understatement, I used that car as my daily drive for over 10 Years, even stopping at the side of the road to witness the Eclipse in 1998. OK, I didn't intentionally stop at the side of the road, the throttle cable snapped, but in 13 years of ownership, that was the only problem really.

Gutted.

I feel your loss - looks like a slow and painful demise

Those aren't Cerb seats. Chim maybe. So maybe not your old car then.

OK, But they are identical to the ones I was sold as Cerbera Seats and subsequently fitted to my car.

Sorry tho, that must feel really bad. I have a not-too-valuable borderline classic in the garage, I've always said there are only 2 or 3 people I'd ever sell it to. This is why.

OK, any excuse for trim porn. These are Cerb seats...



... re-trimmed to reflect the style of the 'S' seats.

What a terrible shame. Wonder how it got in that state. What is left looks too badly water damaged to be worth saving? Douglas Valley breakers, a sad place for any TVR to finish up.

If you recognise the car as having once been yours I suggest you look away quickly ( and then give yourself 50 lashes for selling it!!!)

What a sad sight that is.

Sounds like the only way of doing penance for this terrible crime is to buy another one and restore it

I reckon they're the original S seats, don't Chimaera seats have a slimmer profile headrest?




Whatever they are 10 minutes with a bit of stuff from Furniture Clinic and they'll be like new

rest of the car may take a little longer
