Cerbera prices?

[Jhonno]

Just an exceptional example from a dealer or signs of what's to come...?

Neither.


£34k is a whole heap of money and I can't see a Cerbera in that territory currently. I know there will be a torrent of "you people always talking them down...keeps prices low..." but come on - £34k?

Why would you buy this? I can buy one that needs work, body off, new chassis, new wishbones, new shocks, new just about everything, interior re-trim and a 4.7 AJP fresh engine and still have change from 34k. I know which I would rather have.

The only way will see Cerbera 34k prices anytime soon is if all owners decide overnight they are worth 34k and won't part with them for a penny less. Then if anyone wants one they are 34k.

Wow, very very nice.

Can you really buy one and fully restore/upgrade for less than 34K? Considering the sums I've seen people quote on engine rebuilds, suspension replacement etc I would have thought it works out pretty much the same or higher taking labour into account?
Either way, a really lovely car and nice to see one that has been fully restored like this.

Thats strong money, if it were one of the last with the funky trim and wot not then i could see them trying for it, but still thats alot.
Not that i can argue with what i have done to mine!

I see it this way.

Base car £12k
4.7 engine £10K by the time you have a steel crank and rods put in it.
Chassis refurb and all suspension £10K inc labour
Interior re trim £3K
ICE £1K
paint £3K
ACT Sports exhaust with headers £2K
GAZ £.6K


I make that £41.6K so far and you have to wait for it to be done, this you can pick up tomorrow.

Personally.. If you were going to do all that, you'd buy a cheap one and DIY..

More like:

7k for base car
10k for a 4.7
6k Chassis/suspension refurb (inc Nitrons/Ohlins/Intrax)
£500 ICE - Headunit and speakers.. Exhaust makes the music!
£3k spray
1.6k ACT headers (coated)
£700 exhaust

£29k..

"can't afford a sagaris". Maybe don't want a sagaris!
Who owns this car and who did the work?
Buy a late cerb and spend 10k making it perfect. Jobs a good 'un.

No way that we would give away ours for 34k

i aint arguing with Cerb prices going up

Its a 98 4.5. As said earlier, you can get the work done this one has for 10/12K. This hasn't had any money spent on engine work. Mine was this mint after my body off work. Now its all dirty underneath. This is worth 20K tops.

I am all for keeping stuff clean, but Concours is such a bore. FFS! use it.

Quite agree. If this is a pro restore job, then someone out there will see sense in paying for it, especially if they can't DIY one. Still think Cerbs are a bargain bearing in my how rare good ones are and what a grin they give.

You’ve noticed that the price of TVR’s is climbing. You can’t afford a Sagaris and anyway you’ve got small children. You’ve been tempted by the TVR Cerbera 4.5 – the most powerful road-going TVR produced during Peter Wheeler’s reign at Blackpool. But you want one that’s absolutely immaculate. Stop trawling the classifieds ….You’ve found the car !
