That's my old car, certainly a head-turner!



PM me if you want to know anything about it, had a few issues sorted in my time and, as with most TVR's, it had a few quirks!

Enjoy
It does seem to turn heads mate, I'm very happy with it
You have PM

Stunning - the cerb is on my want list for upcoming mid-life crisis but needs to be an everyday driver so not sure that will work in reality - still massively want though frown
I would say no to a daily driver they are hard work if not in the mood to drive it. And a little high maintenance as well. And that is just running it through the summer sod driving it in the depths of winter. But buy a snotter and run the cerb smile

Lovely motor.
Can I offer some constructive advice?



Get some standard Kiwi black shoe polish (not Parade Gloss) & apply a thick coat with an old duster to your steering wheel. Leave it overnight & then buff off with a clean duster.
Repeat again a few days later & your wheel will look good as new smile
I was just going to get the steering wheel retrimmed but I'll give this a go first, thanks mate
D&C trim in blackpool ( In the old TVR Factory ex TVR staff) Did mine not so long ago And made a great job of it. I just posted it down to them and they turned it around in 2 days smile

Absolutely stunning Cerb, their best looking car imo.

Out of interest, are these as scary to drive as other stories (and Gran Turismo playing time hehe) suggest they are?

No they are not that difficult, BUT you have to respect it!! it is a lot of Power going through the rear wheels 350bhp+ in a car that ways a little over a TON with no driver aids to correct your mistakes. If you drive like a mainiac it will find you out for sure.....Most cars a not difficult to drive it the driver that lacks talent!!.
I have had my Cerbera for 3 years and a Tuscan for 3 years before it both of them have been wonderfull and I can't imagine not having one.

Completely agree with Scotty, they are a fantastic car but if you were using it as a daily drive the novelty would soon wear off but as a car for the weekend or them summer night drives out ( not many of them around lately ) its going to make you very happy

Thank you very much
As natben said they are not all that scary to drive, I had a fully setup 700bhp supra and the cerbera is a much much better drivers car with so much charm

I'm sure that was the car I went to view at a TVR dealership in Cambridgeshire with a view to buying about 4 - 5 years ago. Cant be many with that colour combo.

Doubt if it'll ever age, a very handsome car.
