left handed TVRs?

[lehm]

Hello,

are there made any left handed cerberas or griffs?

[mikeboz]

You bet...Ive got a LHD Griff 4.3 litre...rare bird im told...

[lazyitus]

I think there are a few knocking about but no doubt they are hard to find.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough TVR's in the world, let alone left hookers.

We have them here, but they are twice the UK market rate...

Racing green had a left handed tuscan for sale a couple of weeks ago - it might still be for sale.
it was the factories extreem weather test car so its got extra cooling vents etc.

It was still there last week along with a Tuscan race car and a T440R/400R.

Hmn...pity...no pics of them on the website.

There was a yellow Cerb that hung around the classifieds for ages about a year ago... big sticker price on it though (which is probably why it hung around).

Ddin't the Swiss importer do that particular conversion? Can't think of any other origin for a LHD Cerbie...

I saw a LHD Chimaera at Racing Green a while back. It was a customer's car and had the most hideous striped upholstery.

Sorry <engage diplomacy mode> I mean "it wasn't quite to my personal taste"

The factory tested its cars? I thought they just threw them together and hoped the dealers would fettle them into shape. You learn something new every day.

bad and sad then.

but is there anyway possible to register car and get insurance if im not from UK and never been there? because there where i live cant register RHD car. Here i can only register RHD car when i have been (living) in UK for half year.

What a strange rule. Over here in the UK there is nothing to stop us from importing, say, a LHD American car and register it on UK plates and drive it.

Guess you must have different rules in Finland. You'd have to check with your local authorities.

Hi there

There are quite a few lhd cars around on the continent. Have a look at mobile.de to see some for sale. Or even better here: http://www.tvrcarclub.de/ Kauf und Verkaufsangebote. These are mostly cars from members.
Also there are some guys from Austria who keep their cars registered in the UK because they can,t register a Cerbera or Tuscanracer there. But I don`t know how.

Cheers Jens

P.S. All 4-7 lhd Cerberas are conversions done by a swiss dealer. The yellow one was bought by a german independant TVR-garage who intends to keep it.
