RE: LHD Cerbera

[russellw]

even more chance for things to go wrong in the all too unreliable TVR cerbera''s...

[PetrolTed]

Russell, Are you speaking from experience or is an attempt to goad a response?

[Tom in CH]

I've driven this one. It was owned by a German dentist. They did the conversion very well, used a LHD Chimaera steering rack. Pity their mechanics are crap at basic servicing! Theres a LHD Cerbie speed 6 in Lausanne, CH too and a LHD demo one at the dealers near Zurich, drove it too, not bad. I left mine as RHD as couldn't be arsed to pay 4000 quid for the conversion and with 420hp you don't need to look before you overtake! haha! cheers, Tom http://www.ihana.com

Veryplast, I have to admit you were right.

So the Cerbera is coming to the United States as well?

[PetrolTed]

A tad early to be making predictions like that...

well done marc finally someone who had the balls to go for it i hope you,ll have a lot off succes

[messidor]

I am the proud owner of the Cerbera Speed Six in Lausanne (CH). The conversion was made by TGE and is quite well done except some minor electrical problems. I am driving it since October 1999 and covered 7000 Kms with no major problems. The car is fast and turns heads like hell. I think there is a large potential for LHD Cerberas and I cannot understand TVR. Hopefully there is TGE for those who cannot wait for a factory LHD. By the way TGE is also making a LHD Tuscan!

Is it so complicated for TVR to build LHD cars? they could introduce LHD as an "option" available for the Cerbie if they are reluctant at making high volume LHD cars....

[Graham and Rosie]

To build a LHD model they need to go through type approval all over again, this involves crash testing and what not - plus mainland Europe currently has Euro 3 type approval in place, whereas the UK is still on Euro 2, that is why the European dealers cannot even sell new Chimaeras and Griffiths any more, so to go LHD TVR would need to buld the car up to Euro 3 standards and then crash test it etc as well, so unless there is enough serious demand, it is not in their interests (financially) to do it ================ Graham and Rosie

[thom]

So how the hell will TVR enthusiast from the continent succeed to own Cerberas? Which (reasonable) tricks are worth being tried? Edited by thom on Saturday 14th July 11:09

If you have any questions regarding importing a Cerbie to Germany, drop me a line.. Christof

[kenny]

I want one. If only you could get a Cebera into the U.S. for rather cheap... maybe one day.
