Hoe moeilijk is het om bijvoorbeeld een RHD TVR Cerbera om te bouwen naar LHD en wat zijn de kosten ongeveer? je moet geloof ik ook de lampen bijstellen of vernieuwen?
En hoe doen ze dat met dat ingewikkelde dashbord van bv die Cerbera...
Weet wel dat er destijds een man in Friesland? zat die de oude wedge cars ombouwde, maar die zit nu samen met iemand anders elders in NL, iemand wel eens zoiets gedaan of laten doen? en hoe beviel dat?

In English

How difficult is it for for example to convert a RHD TVR Cerbera to LHD and what are the costs approximately? you also have to adjust the headlamps I believe or renew? And how are they doing that wrapped dashbord of e.g. those Cerbera...there was a man in friesland? who have done some old TVR cars, but he sits now with someone else elsewhere in the Netherlands, someone did something like that or let do? can it be done for a nice price?

thanks for some more info...I always thought the Germans made a few LHD Cerberas or TVR did that for them(one on sale in the classifields) but those are all 1999 models and if I ever would decide to buy lets say a Cerbera I would like the for me better looking 2000 and on model...the Lightweight 4.5 or even better the Boss Cerbera
As you wrote there is more to do on such car then I thought...but I think the most expensive things are teh steering things and the dash...
Also in some TVR it looks like one space(seat place) is wider then the other side?? how is that in a Cerbera?

Must say when the Cerbera's came out and I saw them on Top gear I loved them...then I saw them at Zolder and they where lookig longer then I thought they would be...
So I think the Sagaris and 350T had some better looks to me in the real world I think, but stil the interior specialy from the 2000 and newer cars I realy like to see.
I can't commetnt on the 6 speed lump sadly...but I trust you on that one Albert see and maybe hear it on 10 sept in Winterswijk yes

yep..its a strange animal and therefore I love it
Also when you look at the mighty Boss or the speed 12 based on that car...lovely monsters...
I still see J C in Top gear in the purple Cerbera V8 sprinting away with a lovely burble and talking about like it was like Jou Cocker with some nails in his throot? or how you say that in English anyone else remembered that Cerbera and Jeremy?
