Are the standard suspension (Bilstein/Eibach) on a Cerbera coilovers? I thought they were...

I have put some up for sale on fleabay and a potential buyer has asked; "hi are you sure these are coilovers,i.e adjust up and down,as i cant see any threads on the body/or do you mean they have lowered springs on them......"

Sorry for silly question :/

It is spongy, but well worth it when you get to drive it again after all the effort.
I do miss the ole girl sometimes, especially when I see another one on the road. But she went to a good home. Dimitri is a good stick and her new stable is pretty plush by all accounts.

I won't stay out of the TVR fold for very long tbh, although another Cerb isn't on the cards. I feel another project coming on. Maybe a V6 'S'.

Re the S crackling little car, very underrated by most. I suppose hunting a V6 S4 are in too far sort supply, don't dismiss the V8S, it is just as cheap to buy and not a lot more to run and quicker by a country mile.

Surely not...? I thought V8s were a fair bit more.

I was actually looking for an S2, as I prefer the interior in it to the S3,4's. But then again I prefer the S3 bonnet with fogs, to the S2 hehe
Think I'll just wait for the right project car to come along. Missed one last week by 50 quid on ebay frown

I was just going by PH classifieds, S2 = 5995, S3 = 6250-7000 ,V8S = 7495

On a similar V8 theme early 4.0 Chims can be just as cheap if not cheaper, but they're not as characterful and rare as an V8S wink.

What budget you looking at...

Tbh, at the moment, a project car for as little as possible. If I don't find something within 2 months that fits the bill, I can budget for a Chim or V8s.
