What TVR to buy

[vincenttouw]

Dutch TVR is low on input and refer to Pistonheads as next best thing out there

gents Planning to take a look at a cebera RED ROSE model,
besides the general known information, any thing i need to know about the engine itself.
the car itself is no mistery.

any addition from electrical and engine point of view would be helpful.

I'm in Rotterdam too, but our garage is in Bergen op Zoom. Feel free to contact me if you want a have a look around a Chimaera 4.3 (mine) and Cerbera 4.5 (Andre's) that both are having stuff sorted for the spring, and a Tuscan in bits that we're rebuilding from the ground up...

I've had the privilege of owning two Cerberas, a Tuscan and now a T350. The T350 is by far and away the "best" car of the bunch; a real, genuine all rounder which almost feels like it could be used all year round. The Tuscan was an animal, unhinged and unique. The Cerberas just felt like a race car with a set of number plates bolted on - very little assistance, heaviest gearchange and steering and probably the poorest fit and finish (although this will vary from car to car).

Ultimately the best car isn't necessarily one's favourite, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be back in a Cerbera over the next few years. Though I'll be looking for the best built, latest car I can find.

I recall you posting a Spotted thread many years ago - you saw me on the M1 after you picked up a GTV. Were you a TVR owner before that?

Excellent memory, I don't recall! Not at the time, I only had the GTV three months before stumbling across the Cerbera I bought. A few years of hard work and now there's a GTV and a T350; always loved that Alfa V6 engine.
