Is it just my imagination or do I recall seeing a picture ( part built) of a very early cerb prototype, built on a swb chassis possibly a chim/griff chassis. Does anyone have a copy of this pic or anymore information?

Cheers G

p.s. whats the cerb wheelbase

I've tried looking for the picture but havent yet found it, IIRC its an early prototype of the Cerb with a Targa roof set up... not sure on length of the standard car, dont have anything with the figures to hand. I take it you are looking to put the body onto your Tuscan Racer chassis?? smile

Have you noticed how that car was the test bed for the 4.5. Yet, if that's accurate, looking at that car, it was with the 4.2 intakes.

Perhaps that's where the 420 bhp figure came from smile

Does anyone know why they tested with that induction, but changed it for the hoses.

That's built on a Viper chassis I beleive.

It was the SLR mule that was built on Cerb chassis.
