Hi everyone

I'm trying to be a good Internet person and ensure that the Wikipedia entry for the TVR Cerbera is up to date (here for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR_Cerbera), and with correct citations - however I've come across some questions than I'm sure the very knowledgeable forum members on here can answer in two seconds.

1. Cerbera estate

While having a trawl through the images on PistonHeads for Cerbera, and the article about it's history (here for reference: http://www.pistonheads.com/tvr/cerbera/history.htm ) I got nosey and started seeing what other pictures I could find by changing the numbers on the filenames etc. [my day job is running an Internet agency :-)] and found this shot showing what looks like a Cerbera estate in the shots taken by Charles Fellowes on his visit to the TVR factory



Anybody know anything about this and as to whether it is/was a prototype etc.?

2. Popping noises in current Wikipedia article

The current article says that only the 4.5 cars made the back-popping noise that Cerberas are associated with - however mine says it is a 4.2 (with racing exhaust arguably..) and it pops like crazy so maybe this was only when released from the factory?

Any thoughts much appreciated :-)

Alex

The estates are photoshops. The popping happens in all models but esp AJP V8s.

I have a Cerbera estate and I have the log book to prove it too (somewhere)

Damn that's one ugly mock-up of a Cerbera estate - almost as bad as a Porsche Panamera!

Interestingly there are also some other rather 'interesting' pictures of modified Cerberas with rear wings and 'motifs' to be found by changing the image numbers
