Hi All, I know these pics have been requested before, but I think its about time I posted them up!

Here is my Cerbera that about 2 years ago had a full refurb, this included the engine, the paint and the interior. So now it is literally like a new car smile

The engine was rebuilt at TVR power to a 4.5 red rose spec and was remapped my John Ravenscroft himself, rolling roaded she put out over 430bhp, which was nice! Specially as it still has the 4.2 induction so you get all the great drivability!! No expense was spared on the rebuild and every performance option that was going was fitted, so it has ceramic coated manifolds, super light fly wheel etc etc...

The chassis and drive train was also refurbed when it was in there and also had the car resprayed in a custom candy apple red with gold flakes, which is also very nice! I had the larger discs fitted, nitron fully adjustables,forged drive shafts, etc etc

But the "cream on the cake" so to speak is the interior, a full strip and replacement with T350 seats, recovered in Black Bentley leather with quilted headlinings to boot.

so she was the first cerb with the quilted interior work, which I think looks awesome! So here are the pics below!!

Wow, that looks fantastic. Love the colour and the interior is very very nice. Great work.
It really looks much younger than it is.

Looks awesome and and with no expense spared it must it must be fantastic to drive, just one thing, I noticed that the dip stick is at the back of the engine as was the early cars, word of advice don,t check the oil in a dark underground car park as I did and if you don,t have a torch because it is hard to find the hole

Superb work there, especially that smart interior. Think I would have shadow chrome wheels but that's a small wish. I like the colour coded engine bits too. Musta cost a packit but worth it!!

Thats fking awesome. who did the interior and how much did it cost? thats the next project on mine. Also, did you have to source the T350 seats or did they do the lot. You can PM me if youd prefer.

I love it, well done.
