Have anybody here done, or know of somebody who have done a conversion of an TVR Griffith from right hand driving to left hand driving?

Someone with some technical knowhow on these cars, plese chim in and tell me what you think..

I have tried to ask some TVR shops but they tell me some parts are no longer available and that´s an almost impossible modification to do. I also know that LHD modifications have been done in the past.

Does anyone know the parts that are needed for this modification? or where could this be done?

Please write me if you know anything about this.

Hello.
I make a chimaera from Rhd to Lhd since one year.
For me: I think it,s better you buy a Lhd for more money.
Than this modofication is a very hard job. You get no spares, you must make all by yourself.
By an Tuscan or other modell is it other There is another pricedifference from Rhd to Lhd.

Thank you for your answer!
Probably it´s better to buy an original LHD.
What´s the name or contact of the garage that made your conversion??

I make it by myself.
The chimaera was build 1999, imported from britain and the frame was very rusty. So we make a frame off restauration so its better to work for the LHD modyfication. Spares we need. is a LHD steering rack, Another Heater box. Steering column, Pedal box, Brake pipes, Clutch pipes, another cable system, Throttle cable, Bonnet cable and a lot of other things.( Electric vom right to left) and and and.....

Further in Switzerland is a garage TGE Autotechnik ( near Basel) They make this too.
The cost,s are from 14000 ( Tuscan)Euro to 17000 Euro
(Cebera). I don,t know the quality of modification. I never saw a car from there.

TGE is in Embrach, near Wintertur, not near by Basle.
They are not yet very active today.

The better adress is:
Eggimann Autotechnik gmbh
http://www.eggimann-cars.ch
Gewerbestrasse 3
4450 Sissach (Switzerland)

They know how to do it.

TGE is "finished".

He did a very well job in the last years, he "is dead now", means he is not more very active. A nice homepage is not a prove to be very busy.
Please contact the president of the swiss TVR Club Samuel Benz.

Eggimann has the only RHD Sagaris in Switzerland now. He has planed to convert it to LHD.
I don't know if he is doing.
He was very active in Switzerland the last years and has a big knowledge.

Yours W. Jelk

Herzliche Grüße an alle Interessenten eines Umbaus.

Ich wollte einfach nur mal erfahren, was der Umbau einer Cerbera auf LHD ca. kosten könnte.
Eine Cerbie mit 420 PS wäre für mich das optimale Familienfahrzeug.

Herr Eggimann teilte mir dazu mit, dass das Budget für den aktuellen Umbau eines Sagaris von RHD auf LHD bei ca. 30.000 SFR liegt.
Bei der Cerbera wäre es dann aber weniger, weil man das Dach nicht umbauen muss.

Da stimmt absolut ! Denn die Cerbera hat ja, wie vielleicht jeder hier auch weiss, gar kein "bubble-roof" wie der Sagaris.
Ich rufe daher einen Preis von 15.000 EUR auf für die Umrüstung von RHD auf LHD auf. Ich denke für diesen Preis wäre es absolut machbar.

So, wer will also eine Cerbie haben und diese umrüsten lassen ?
Macht dafür bitte einfach einen neuen Thread auf.

Und falls sich genug Interessenten zusammenfinden, werde ich die Konversion für 15K EUR pro Auto machen.
Damit wäre die Cerbie immer noch sowas wie der preiswerteste "Super-Sportwagen" der gesamten Welt.

Viele Grüße

GT
