I didn't quite manage the whole 5 mins, there was some paint I wanted to watch dry, but it does look like an MOT, however, I don't think our friends in France need MOT's unless they are selling the car, so perhaps another Cerbera on the market?

I can only think you are referring to MOT mans clutch control technique as he spins up your wheels to move forward a couple metres.. I would have pulled him out the car and smacked him to be honest. It absolutely annoys me when people drive my car like that and I insist I drive my car if ever a garage needs to move it unless they are a proper TVR garage.

that one has only just been sold ?you could be right

Bl00dy hell, just watched the video clip!

Did you agree to let the garage man abuse your car. If that was someone doing that to my Cerbera I'd knock there fricking head off...........

Obviously he's never been in a TVR before, as he didn't know how to get out

Good luck with the chassis repairs, looks like you'll be busy scraping, rust proofing and painting for a few weeks.

Controller is a friend that , yes , never saw a cerb & floor was slippery , no abuse then
I'm going much more into transmition on the road , than this little burn on a wet floor ...

Not unusual for a 98 car. Was that Tim from ACT's car? Surprised that it was so bad though.

[markh1]

Blimey that does look bad! Good luck with refurbing it, it's not hard to do but does take a lot of work.

[Jimii]

sometimes i think my chassis is bad, then i see pics like this and realize that it isnt at all :/. Time for a body off for you yes

Well I found it interesting!

I disagree with others about 'abusing' the car, on a slippery surface there is little stress on anything, I certainly saw nothing in the video that would have me 'decking' the bloke.

I have to agree with most that the condition of the car is concerning, especially with its history. Ours was not that bad at 90k odd miles when we had the outriggers replaced completely... scary stuff. I am glad this car is in the hands of what is obviously a great enthusiast, I have no doubt you'll address its failings and have it back to being perfect again. Keep the faith!

[spongy]

I know a tyre fitter who was decked after taking all the paint off a certain persons rims once

I found it very interesting, but I'm sad like that.

Trully shocking to see the old ACT dev car in that state.

Also like the vacant look on the guys face when you ask if the handbrake is OK. He just looks at it pulls it and then turns back to the camera and gives that knowing look as if to say "you are kidding right?!".
