back after many years with a new project

[hoppo4.2]

its been a while since i had a cerbera. however i love a tvr project and when this came up locally to me i couldn't resist.
my 8th tvr and 3rd cerbera.

Its a 1997 4.2 in a lovely shade of pink.

The inside looks like it was once a swimming pool and its not been on the road since 2005.

it runs well when it wants to but just about everything else is broken. this should be fun.

im sure many pics and questions will follow.

pic of my old cerbs why not.

If I had the space, it's one I would have seriously considered.

[FarmyardPants]

What’s the plan for it, full refurb or just get it presentable and running well?

I quite liked mine when it was faded rosso pearl

[hoppo4.2]

plan is to get it up and running Motd first. then i have a new interior ready to go. after that ill look at a paint job

[hoppo4.2]

a few steps closer today.

repaired the ribbon cables and got the wheel buttons working again.

free'd up the wiper motor and replumed the washers.

just need my new pads to turn up for the front and i can get it up the MOT station.

had to kick the other toy out of the garage so i can start to dry the cerb out (any excuse)

really show up how small the cerb is too.

[hoppo4.2]

wow how has it been so long and I've not put an update on this.

well a lots happen it actually got through an MOT!!! after many new bit and bobs.

so I've started the cosmetic works.







still a long way to go it's getting there
