Looks great. Do you mind me asking how much the chassis restoration was please?
I’d hit a kerb with one corner so needed a rim, wishbones, drag struts, bushes etc, and then there’s the other stuff like a clutch, release bearing, steering rack, battery, brakes, service etc.etc.
So I think it really depends on your car and the extras
I can PM you some details
Have you also had a hard time finding white front indicator lenses?
I can't find them anywhere, but like you, have swapped the side lenses.

TBH I’ve not looked for white front indicator lenses but I think your right white would look better.
I don’t know definitely, but I always thought they were reversing lights off a Land Rover Defender around 2001.
Never measured but may be worth a look

Know that feeling - my Cerb has never been used for ‘transport’, only for fun and thrill-rides.
I find it a thrill just to sit and look at it!
Feel very much the same, it really is a piece of art just sitting on my driveway, and I had a run out in it a few weeks ago that was so good, that if I didn't drive it again this year, I've still had my monies worth I find it a thrill just to sit and look at it!
.Discovered a few earthing problems that need resolving, enjoy working on it too - which helps!
I arrived in Brittany yesterday early afternoon.
Dom at TVR Power is great. Really is.
You can't buy SP12's anymore. I spoke to Tim at ACT. He said it's difficult to get hold of them nowadays. My SP12's were not in great shape.
I found an alloy wheel specialist in London. They took out the minor buckles and tiny flat spots in the SP12's. They are now round and true, like a bespoke wheel on a tour de France race bicycle.
Perfect.
They balanced the rims and tyres and even removed the excess paint between the discs and inside of the alloy so they fit together perfectly.
A 600km drive or thereabouts yesterday.
I got the satnav to avoid motorways, so I just drove down country roads between towns along the way.
I did two adjustments to the dampers on the way (went softer on the bump and rebound).
Plus, I increased the tyre pressures by 1/10 bar on two separate stops.
The grip. The predictably. The ability to relax, enjoy and just point the car where you want to go is a revelation. Brilliant.
Probably the best spirited drive I have had in that little car.
Setup properly, and knowing its limitations, nothing is more thrilling or has as much heart and soul than a good honest Cerbera.

I run soft anyway, but down to Le Mans this year I didn't adjust height (as just me in the car) but went 2psi more in the tyres. Didn't like it, dropped it back down to 24psi. The Cerbera really makes a GT car. Drove Pembrokeshire to London yesterday just happily cruising along
I'm usually hovering over 23-24 psi front to rear and the increase (2/10 bar) made the difference at higher speeds on country roads.To be honest though, making WhatsApp video calls, with your phone mounted on the dash, while ROARING through beautiful French countryside, on perfect tarmac in a car that's in good fettle is a truly wonderful trexperience.
