When is a Cerbie a Tuscan?

[K.K.]

OK, not sure if I imagined it but I THINK I saw a red Cerbie with Tuscun style head-lights? Is this possible or am I seeing things? I could be wrong, 'cos the car was behind me, it was dark and it turned off before I could get a good look. It was Friday 30th Sep at about 7pm on the Grays Inn Road WC1. Anyone here?

When it has the newer style front ( "Pod" ) lights.....

Can be retro fitted by any decent bodyshop....

My Chim has converted lights, looks cool IMO

There is a topic on conversions running at the mo: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=211081&f=8&h=0

I thought some of the later Cerbera's had that style of headlight arrangement straight out of the factory, I recall reading an article on a new Cerbera RR in a mag, and I'm sure it had the 'Tuscan style' headlights, or something very similar!

Two different sorts.

The first lightweights had a pod that fitted in the normal headlight cowl hole in the wing. Then came a blended arrangement in about late 2001 that was fully blended into the wing, tuscan stylee.

Im 100% sure that there is a member of PH who has a cerbie with a full tuscan front bonnet and lights.....
he has a pic on his profile but cant find him!!!!!

Yeah I have that bell ringing as well now.

I do remember something.

The two I describe are how they left the factory, theres loads of aftermarket options...

I think the red cerb was modified about 3 years ago in the blackpool area but not at the factory.

I know there is a Griff with a Tuscan front end...twas at Le Mans a couple of years ago....

That doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I'd imagined. I think the lovely paint has lots to do with that though.

Found this:

Griffs look the nuts with a conversion.....

The cerbie im thinking of doesnt just have a headlight conversion, the whole front end is that of a tuscan!!

[Flintstone]

The purpley one (official TVR colour, purpley) looks better than I'd have thought.

The black one though just looks so wrong, as if everything at the front has shrunk. Maybe it's the angle?

IMHO on the griff and chim this ruins a lovely car.

To me it looks like one of the Smart cabriolet things....
