Did anyone else just get an email through Pistonheads asking if they wanted their car converting to LHD and the emailer can help? Or am I being singled out for this marketing?

Don't know what to make of that. If you look at the pic you can see the TVR emblem on the steering wheel is mirrored backwards so that ain't a pic of the conversion

in the past there were a few LHD Cerbera's specialy made by TGE (Zwitserland) dealer, I believe 5 or 10 were made, from the older type I believe 1998<>1999, I've seen 2 for sale in the past and seen some pictures, but maybe there are also some of the later type Cerbera.

what I be interested in is also a conversion from RHD to LHD of the T350c and how much it cost(also important) biggrin

ah here I found also some LHD Cerbera's

Yes it's me. Thanks for publishing the link smile

It would be very interesting to know how many LHD Cerbera are currently in existance. I found only 5 cars. Somewhere in the forum someone wrote that maybe only 2 LHD Cerberas left Blackpool. Others were converted by Swiss importer TGE.

yw, you have a very nice website, interesting stuff and info.

my question, are there any LHD T350c cars left the factory?
or people did that convert?

or do you have to use the LHD Sagaris parts to convert...(if there are any spare parts biggrin)

Thank you for compliments.

as far as I know neither one T350 with left hand drive was built at Blackpool nor a RHD was converted into LHD. Infact I never saw a sole image of a LHD T350.

I don't know anything about the procedure and what spare parts have to be used. I've been told that only TVR Racing Green is currently able to convert to LHD with a "good job".

I think it's a great model. I saw my first T350 in Monza last saturday (it's owned by a guy of Milan) and I was impressed. It's really gorgeous. Go for it!

biggrin in the past I owned 2 TVR's, one Griffith 4.3 big valve and a V8S
for me a TVR "must" have a V8, I like the old 200 and 400 and Tuscan V8 lwb and SE but its a bit risky to buy, so I was thinking a TVR T350c (nice model and not that expensive as the Sagaris) and then do a engine conversion (so the engine gets more reliable and for the power and V8) to LS3/LS7 some are already doing such things.
