Nice Cerb, new home

[Cavey]

Just back home with the new purchase. Typical traffic queues on the way home to test the cooling! Great run up Burrington Combe and over the Mendips though.



HarryW: The note in the handbook says the colour is R2836.

looks awesome in that colour, one of my favs

[Gazzab]

Hows it compare to your last cerb?
I find my later one much more composed and tighter.

[Cavey]

It does feel tighter than my last one, and the front end is more communicative from what I remember. Throttle response is loads better too. Both cars have Gaz Golds, but my last one had been mucked about with and started off set way too low. This one feels much better set up and the damping is really good even with the 18s. The Tuscan seats are really comfortable too. The radio reception is even pretty good.

Hope we're not tempting fate here!

That looks very very nice ,enjoy , Si

To all Cerb owners:

Golds are designed to allow you to change the ride height and stiffness.
You don't have to change the car just because the dampers are set wrongly.
That's a bt like changing the car when the washer bottle is empty.

By the way, all TVRs are sensitive to suspension set up. A correct set up done by a good TVR expert will only cost about £100 and will be the best £100 you have spent on the car. A full four wheel alignment is what you need, ideally on a Hunter machine.

Agreed, but that is wasted money if the bushes are soft and worn out. They need to be changed before doing a serious setup.

You are right. But a good TVR expert will check the condition of everything before starting the 4-wheel alignment.

Looks a very nice car mate, you must be chuffed

[Englishman]

Very nice indeed. If I was looking for a V8, this would be the one.

That is stunning. Can I be rude and asked if you paid over sprint valuation

He did , and tells all on another thread

[Cavey]

I did indeed. Tucked up good and proper.

[HarryW]

Very tidy car. I agree the 4.2 intake arrangement really does work well and gives the cars such crisp throttle response.



A quick Google shows R2836 to be starmist grey, used on Chims through to Sags. Mine is similar but a pearl...

[QBee]

Forgot to say - I usually think that brighter colours suit TVRs better, but your car, in that grey, has me really wishing it was mine. Well done, and enjoy!

[Cavey]

Cheers, and good to meet you at Combe on Friday - I was in the black Megane.

I was just thinking the same thing, Cerb's really seem to suit dark colours.

You seemed to be enjoying yourself.
I could tell when you were out on track from the distinctive high-pitched protests from your tyres as you came round Camp Corner at 10/10ths
Good to meet you. It was a great day.

[Jhonno]

Stunning..
