Thanks Mags, I see that was back in July. Guess the only sensible way forward would be an independent competent third party inspection of the car.

There are some fairly strong views on TVR DEAN all throughout the forums, might be worth a search.

It doesnt look great value ie needs paint, wheels, bonnet, its ended up at scrap dealer, it will likely need lots more doing to it etc....
Buy a good one for less than it will cost you to buy a rubbish one and sort it out.

I like the bonnet i think they should have done it to all Cerbs like the chims But other than that agree it is from a scrap yard so i would not expect much.

He's not doing me any favours with the same name. The wheels and bonnet I'm not a fan of, but i am sure it will float someones interest

The only sensible way forward would be to steer well clear.

They could do with someone who'd write their ads in English, too.
No offense meant to the genuinely dyslexic, but if I see an advert written like that on behalf of what purports to be a 'professional' outfit, I will automatically assume they're a bunch of s.

I've never been far wrong in doing so.

They're replies via email enquiries are just as badly written.

I like the Chimera bonnet although wouldn't for one to my Cerbera even if I was repairing accident damage. The wheels however ruin the look of the car.
