Does anyone know how many of the vinylester lightweight bodied cars were made, and on what models?
I've seen them advertised on the Cerbera and T350 only.
I saw a thread suggesting that 6 T350T's had them but don't know where that number came from, or how accurate.

I have never seen a vinylester bodyshell on a Cerbera but have worked on 2 or 3 T350s so I would say there are more than six .

Interesting. There is an article about lightweight Cerberas on tvrblog but they don't mention vinylester, just how flimsy they were. My own car is vinylester and apart from the bonnet isn't noticeably flimsy at all. I had read there were 6 T350 Targa lightweights, around 5-6%, so maybe 20 to 24 across C and T in total?

When Blackpool Thunder finally get round to collating the build sheets we will know for certain.
