The first notchback coupe. Found and purchased by walt Armstrong. Everything aft of the firewall was removed for a Cam Am alloy style body. Car under restoration to full coupe form.
I use it most days when it's not raining. It has good handling and is fun to drive through country lanes. 1600Ms are not as slow as some would like to think!
This was my entry to TVR ownership. I saw an 'M' on the road one day and just fell in love. Finding this 1600M for sale, it was in stunning metallic blue with a silver band. The black interior was v...

Absolute rubbish, and like most TVR since build quality only marginally superior to a Trabant.
Acceleration excellent, though felt extremely unsafe at speed.
Heavily modified 1600M - now running Astra 2.0 16V GSI engine, 5 speed box, Quaife LSD and uprated Spax shocks. As featured in Sprint June 2005.
Suprisingly, handles better than the Chimaera with ...

Thirsty, impractical, but bloody good fun!
More smiles per mile than anything I've ever driven, and the noise on accelerating is pure music (except to the neighbours)
Owned this car for a year and did not have one thing go wrong.
Bodywork was immaculate and the engine bay was dull. Untill I spent 2 months during winter stripping and cleaning it.
remember seeing one of these rumbling through leeds in late 80s and thinking "i want one of those".loved the car ,always put a smile on my face,got me hooked on TVRs.

Update June 2011:
Still have this car, still enjoying it, still no intention of ever selling it.
the sound is the best TVR ever created. 100,000 when it was purchased didnt put me off - except for constantly replacing the rear UJ's. Ironically, I know have a big enough vice !
The car has been subject to a few modification's since the ownership experience begun.
So far it has had a roll bar fitted, later Powerlock LSD. These mods combined made a big difference to the hand...

My first TVR.
90k on the clock and it still made 197bhp on Dave Walkers (S.London)rolling road, without any tuning or preping, we just did a power run for the hell of it during an Elise shoot out.
Aug04 -getting a lot closer now. 4 re-manufactured brake calipers, new discs and pads, new brake lines, brake master overhauled, new suspension swivel pins and bushes, new front bushes... and other ...
It's red and noisy.
I have had to replace the ecu,rad,and windscreen(droped bonnet on it oops)
It's quite original and standard and has only done 34k,I thought it was good value at £5000.
Bought this instead of an Esprit Turbo in 1989 and still got it. Good overall but its not an 'A' frame. :(
UK reg 387MW but now we're in New Zealand I have put TVR 2 on it.

what can I say, it's a TVR and it's wedge shaped and I love it.
It leaks and the electrics have a mind of their own but as soon as you hear the rumble of the V8 who cares !

Unfortunately it had to go. A victim of practicality and reliability.
But that doesn't mean I've given up on TVRs forever!

420SEAC the ultimate Wedge - no substitute - IMHO. Full AC body, fully adjustable suspension and one of the few with a full race spec, solid lift motor - Proper TVR

Just Bought a 450 SE which needs a lot of work and had only done a few hundred miles over the last few years and been stored in a barn.
The Growler will be out for some fun !!
Always my dream car.
Enjoyed it immensely for the first year until it developed a bad misfire over 3,500 revs.
Eventually sold it never having fully rectified it, so did not get as much fun out ...
Finally bought one..it's been the TVR iv'e wanted for years!
Love it. :)
New 'supersports' ACT exhaust system ordered.
Now fitted, and sounds absolutely brill. Pop/bangs on over run!

Great fun but i got fed up with worrying about it all the time, even though nothing major went wrong in the year I had it. Niggly things and it felt a bit fragile i suppose.
The best TVR I owned. Will never forget the feeling when I first drove it. Proper supercar driving position, feel and feeling of being in something special. Shame the engine went bum-up.
This car was bought with the heart, not the head, and puts the biggest smile on my face every time I fire it up. It has the power to turn the worst day into the best and I never want to let it go.

Again, this car was very reliable, and is still the fastest car I have ever had. I loved the way it would pull away from a BMW M3 - twice as accelerative - and the direct-ness of the car was lovely.

First TVR, knew TVR didn't have a great
name, but loved the look of the Griffith however saw clarksons video and watched the Cerbera thrash all existing supercars so I had to have it.

Car's performance is nothing shy of awesome.
Some minor niggles in the first week, but the sound, performance and headturning ability far outweighs these.
Bought this beast at the end of Dec 2009. Aint has a chance to "give it some" yet. Mods are:- front lights, afterburner rear light and big bore decat stainless pipes.

New front discs fitted and pads all round. Old silencer back on as it failed the MOT - D'oh !Still failed MOT on Handbrake so long referal on PH found the answers and after a week on Axle Sta...
awesome car,can be a gentle drive with tvr sound track from the decat sports pipes, or when the loud peddle is pressed a ride that will blur your senses,
Just completed 3 years of ownership. Love the shape, sound and sheer acceleration of the thing. Looks better in more restrained colours IMHO, I refer to mine as gold when it's behaving, beige when it'...
The car is a piece of the TVR history and was owned by TVR Eng for most of it
life. The car only came onto the market last year when the Smolenski’s
organisation sold off the family silver last ...
So far So good only 1 week into ownership but she is immaculate inside and out.
3 months in now. Powder coated all the wheels, painted front calipers replaced brake pipes with braided hoses fitted ...
Just bought this car. Not driven it yet due to it being off the road having headlight conversion and bumper mouth alteration. Can't wait to get it on the road
Love the sports exhaust, most of the neighbours don't mind - but have had a "do you really have to make that noise". Of course, the answer is "YES".
Brilliant car!
Now it's got the cat bypass p...
Fantastic performance, fantastic looks, fantasticsly high running costs, but you couldn't take the roof off. Cost me £45,000 (2nd owner but only 140 miles on the clock).
after 4 fantastic years with only clutch problems car was sold to a lucky irish millionaire living in Melbourne. Only travelled about 12k miles in here so she was pampered and cherished. Did one track...
A different feel to anything else I've owned. I usually drive stealthy rockets, enjoy the element of going unnoticed untill you open the throttle. Never had a car that attracts smiles from everyone of...
Oyster Pearl with Fawn lthr. Looked Beautiful went like stink. Perfect car.
Sold as moved to Bristol and lack of parking at where I was living at the time. I still wake up in tears about it now.
What a utterly amazing car - the only thing you can get for under �£100k that will make you smile each and every time you get in it, look at it...think about it.
Not had any 'issues' yet...I am ...
Car has been/is absolutely BRILLIANT, and only let us down once (in suspicious circumstances, which I don't blame the car for)! Would recomend a Cerb to anyone with any sort of facination for speed/p...
Yes it is a basket case! But it's only the second Cerbera in New Zealand that I know of.
Written off by the fire damage and the 4.5 engine and gearbox were removed before I got my hands on it. I've...
All good things must come to an end. The car has gone but I've still got some fantastic memories and some great friends. Well maybe one or two bad ones too. Still I should have kept it :-(

Just had this one for a short while. But hated its behaviour and passed it on. Last I heard, the guy I passed it on to, he crashed it within 3 weeks of ownership, totally written off :(
Bought her on a bit of a whim really. PO had done everything in the last year, new clutch, gearbox, wheels, brakes, updated front end, the lot basically and then I bought her 2000 miles later.
Well...
always wanted one. great fun to drive. easy to keep on the road if you have a set of spanners,4 seats means i can take the kids then they get out so i can go round the track.
every one is happy!!!
Fastest loudest car anyone could ever want to own!
Its not like driving a "normal car" its more an assault on the sense's, absolutly fantastic, everyone should at least experience a Cerbera once in t...
Pick this car up on Friday 29 Sept 2006.
Lover the time I had it. Did a Le Mans trip and went to Rockingham part of the 500+ cars on the Sunday
Sold it March 2008
Beautiful car - Crystal Topaz, light grey & blue full hide, 18'' spiders and 2003 spec engine following re-build by TVR Power.
Sold due to a change in circumstances that meant I could no longer kee...
These cars are just awesome, everytime i look at it i hide my license. :)
So fast so noisy sports exhaust just sound amazing.
Everyone should have to own at least one of these in a lifetime.
Has had a lot spent on it recently with a fully adjustable set of Protech aluminium coilovers and a sports exhaust, but thanks to Joospeed's careful set up in now corners superbly and sounds great. Ab...
Totally standard with the exception of Nitron/Eibach suspension, and ACT decats.
This is the only car I've ever owned that never loses its novelty, it gets more exciting every time you drive it! S...
After 5 years with a Cerb and 3 years without, even a 996TT couldn't take its place, so it's back. Newer this time but still a 4.5. It's like coming home ;)
Late 2004 Cerbera in Iced Titanium.
Full black leather , black alcantara headlining.
4.2 AJP V8 but this is one of the last ones so it is fitted with the 4.5 bottom end.

Can't be bothered to try an explain how fantastic this car was for me ( would have to go back to school to learn a whole new vocabulary of great words!! ).
Just got to say big FUN , Big Cost and just...
Bought this, exchanging a rather tired Chimaera for it.
Had done 20,000, but the engine blew before I collected it! Another engine later and some niggles and all was ok.
GREAT, REALLY great car...
in Antique Turquoise - awesome car, by far the fastest car I've ever driven (previous car was an 1990 BMW 316i!). Have had it 10 months and still puts a silly grin on my face everyday.
I re-built the engine of this car (unnecesseraly) to Red Rose spec and fitted an Emerald ECU . Modified suspension geometery , Nitrons with 356mm front discs and tuscan racer rears. Only let me down o...

A fabulous car and a roller coaster of ownership. The highs and lows are very extreme! I absolutely love how it drives, a genuinely well sorted chassis with the Nitron coilovers, amazing engine and su...
Perfect car. Had some niggles, but then after the engine rebuild was a cracker.
-Lightened Flywheel (Racing Green, recommended!!!)
-Decatted
-New Cylinder Head
-TVR Power Chip
Beautiful looking car that certainly drags a smile out of me.
Power is very very hard to put to the ground. Bump steer evident along with a tendency to scrub the front end, resulting in a car that w...
My latest machine, getting the few little problems ironed out slowly.
I had second thoughts about the colour but it does the trick. People love Halcyon Midas in the metal, or is that fibreglass....
Awesome car! Treat it with respect in the cold/wet as even experienced owners have fallen off the road in poor conditions... But with good weather and open roads, the power and noise are intoxicating!
What can I say! I've finally realised a boyhood ambition to own a TVR. I was initially going to buy a wedge, then I thought about a Griff, but then my wife persuaded me to buy a Cerbera as we have two...
Awsome car looks amazing and sounds even better!
And I miss it sooooo much

Great car, like it a lot.
Sadly now sold. Was really reliable (as it was for Flasher before me) and very sorry to see it go.
I thought it was better to leave on a high note while I still loved t...

So far so good.....

Antigua Blue, full magnolia leather - just what I'd been looking for for 13 months!
Fully specced, extremely reliable and a beautiful interior/exterior colour combination, it made me very sad to ...
It took me 18 months to find my previous Cerbera yet a throwaway comment when having my car serviced led me to this one within a week.....
What a car!
Still not sure about the amplifiers in the ...
If you don't do anything else with your life you must have one of these,yes the will do over 180, i was just annoyed that having spent 20k you have to spend more to make them brilliant, but i should h...
Has now been fitted with short induction & has received a remap 377BHP & 345LBS.
Previously belonged to Slackalice.
Has now moved on, fortunately to a new, good home & it still on PH.

Black Sapphire pearl with full black hide interior.
Simply awsome!!!
It is a third car, used every weekend, hence the very low milage.
It has never gone wrong - only the windscreen wiper parking sw...
Brilliant car.
I changed for the more modern looks of the Tuscan but regretted it afterwards. The Cerb never missed a beat and only general wear & tear items needed doing. Found it to be reliable and...
Heart over head, very fast great fun super sound but cost a shed load of money to keep on the road and track.
Need a lottery win to buy another..maybe.
My second Cerb. A great car!
We were very sorry to see it go, as it served me well, covering over 17500 miles in around 8 months as my daily driver! Also took us to Europe and back twice and even ma...
Must be a gluten for punishment... very late 1996 model bought blind with the help of Mr Ingleby. Bludy gorgeous.. Fully sorted with new TVR Power engine, refurbished chassis and sold to a fellow TVR ...
Great car - Fastest thing you can get for £30k, but notoriously fussy to fix, & an on going project for the length of ownership, but stunningly good looking & I admit, you can get hooked
Definitely designed for tall people, the Cerbera. I've had to invest in a set of pedal extenders! Still a great car, though. I find it a bit harder to drive than the Griff, but we'll see what happens ...
Great in a straight line when it works.
I had so many problems with this car. TVR's legendery quality control once again shine's through. I was totally gutted about this car. It was fantastic to driv...
