Project wanted

[Theo_nr1]

Hi I'm looking for a Cerbera project.
None running, damage can be an option. Anyone knows a place to find a project?
Cheers, Theo

I reckon you're about five years too late

Back at the end of the financial crisis you could buy almost any classic car, sit on it, and make 2, 3 or 4 times your ante, depending on the marque.

Now the market has normalised, you will struggle to find a 'project' because everyone thinks their car is special

The real question is are you buying an investment opportunity?

or

Are you buying a 20 year old keeper to restore?


You could keep an eye on TVRGlen as they used to sell damaged Cerbs, I think there was one fire damaged Cerb that was successfully brought back to life a couple of years ago, but the asking price seemed very high indeed considering the work needed.

Agree with Paul - difficult to find a car which isn't already having a body-off restoration at the moment as far as I can tell!

The only other person I know breaks them is Steve Strange via eBay but I'm not sure what they have bar a sub frame and half a body - definitely a project there!!!

The only other one I saw recently was this one which I think came up on eBay - you might be able to find it from the pictures I kept - attached below

The advert didn't actually say, although it was originally advertising the frame that had been modified to take a BMW or something

The only details were as below - and it looks like it didn't sell for £800

Great! Glad it was rescued and in the hands of someone who can restore it

Nice to make race car.. Something like that could be ok. Although very much work. But conersion to Lhd is an idea too then bad interiour is easier to cut.

Got offered a possible project.. Now looking bit at budget..
Cheers, Theo

There's a non-runner on eBay

Interior looks good, paint less so, and the engine bay suggests it's been badly neglected, perhaps left open to the elements?

Commanding good money considering the engine can only be described as 'not seized', it does look complete though

Good spot Paul and yes the engine does look like it got pretty damp over it's storage period - link to the above added - made we wonder what happened to that Yellow one that was for sale a few years ago after taking a dip into a pond or similar



I had a quick scoot through the other Cerberas for sale and prices seem good at £20k+ with only one on the £20k border - has a fire extinguisher like mine so obviously almost a compulsory purchase for Cerbera owners
