Has anyone ever taken the roof off a cerbera.

True, but then there is a whole market out there for potential hands off owners who love the looks and sounds of a TVR but want something more user friend as a turn key proposition, that's whats evolved in the E-type market, and maybe will in the TVR market at some point

I reckon that was Les Edgar's thinking

I agree, I suspect sadly that market just isn't big enough for the level of investment required for effectively a start up.

Hi ChristAlmighty. definitely apologises not needed for resurrecting this thread.
It is great to see someone who also loves the idea of a Cerbera convertible.
Im sure it can be done.

How would it be done?

Cut the roof off.
And the rear side quarter’s
Re-trim the edges.
Re-strengthen/stiffen underbody, especially If any body shake/movement .

No work on the roll cage ? No softop?

Good points.
Although, I personally would not have a roll cage/bar.
I would not want anything to get in the way of the flowing lines of the car.
Soft top, yes, of course.
That would be fabricated and fitted, to follow the original lines of the cerebra .

I don't think this really helps, but I changed the roof on my Chimaera and added a roll structure behind my head.
Just posting the picture so you can see how it looks.
I like it and don't care if others don't.
It actually has a Steve Edwards roof, his early version, so I have also posted a picture of it with the roof on.

I Like - tbh, as a Cerbera owner, I think that's a better solution, unless you want an AJP engine/don't want the Rover V8.

Why would anyone do that :-). Best of both worlds minus the rear seats. Don't worry, it's all one colour now.

Gosh, I keep forgetting about that bonus.
The AJP engine, instead of the Rover V8.
Oh yes please.
