retro-fit 'Red Rose' suspension

I have just noticed on the main TVR section that TVR will now also supply retro-fit 'Red Rose' suspension package for Chimaeras, anyone no any more about this

Sounds interesting. I would imagine that a Chimaera (or any TVR) with the factory "Red Rose" pack is going to be easier to sell on than a modified car with aftermarket suspension, regardless of the relative merits of both.

Is this particular "Red Rose" suspension-only, or is it more comprensive?

Im embarking on some further (track day) mods over the winter and suspensions next-any more Red Rose info Ted?

Having read TVR's press pack it seems the Red Rose upgrade is in fact for the Cerbera and includes suspension and engine upgrades and fitting the little 95/97 RON button Rich...

TVR used to do a sports suspension pack for Griffs and Chimaeras a few years ago. I suspect they are resurrecting this again but could be wrong.

Sorry to sound thick - but - err - what exactly is a "Red Rose" suspension???

[shpub]

Who knows? It is basically an upgraded suspension pack usually with different springs/shocks and roll bars.

[JonRB]

"Red Rose" basically means "a bit better than standard" and can be applied to any model TVR wants and mean anything they want it to mean, often different for each model. So it could be a suspension-only upgrade (as is being proposed for the Chimaera and Griffith), or something far more comprehensive in the case of the Cerbera.

"Red Rose" is a reference to the Red Rose of Lancashire from the War of the Roses between the Lancastrians and Yorkists in the 15th century.

Yes I know all that I was just pointing out that having been on the stand yesterday and read the press stuff this morning there is nothiung about suspension for Griffs/Chimaeras - it's all about upgrading your Cerbera to the RR standard. R...

The upgrade is a set of more progressive dsmpers. The price though, which has made it far less attractive is £2500

Are they gold plated to resist corrosion?

Lord only knows, I am sure its more than more progressive dampers but when I asked at my dealer this morning £2.5K is definately the price.

How about some White Rose upgrades, bound to be far better.
