An E type?!

[PetrolTed]

No. See my car list.

[Mrs Fish]

Not sure about the name

[dejoux]

Mmmm Alpina, sounds expensive :P

[Ballistic Banana]

If it looks anything like the picture than it looks mean as it should, like to see ho wthat bonnet opens though.
Is this going to be the one make series racing to take over from the tuscan racing or more in GT and Endurance??

All the new ones are getting S6's, what are they going to do with the AJP8? But I guess if the 6's can make the car go as fast as the V8, then there is nothing to worry about.

Think there might be more than one Cerb being put up for sale... [shakes piggy-bank to see how much saving's needed]

Abandon it, as a 2 valve per cylinder design is going to struggle to break 100BHP/litre & meet emissions requirements. Shame, lovely engine.

Any clues on cost,T350T trade in perhaps..........

From the T350 page on TVR's site:
"[The T350] is intended to form the basis of a racing car for the new GT Cup class of the British GT Championship as well as for a number of overseas one-make race series"

Not so sure, shirley they would have thought about the 'woman' aspects of naming it after a 'female' axe .

Ahhh, you have a woman's axe, m'lord. I'll wager than axe has never been used to strip the skin from a dealer's body and then tanned into fine leather for use in a car's upholstery.

[Ballistic Banana]

cheers JS, so no sights yet on the one make series// sur ei read quite a while back that the TESCO was gonna be designed for that..

Also them ripples on the wings above the lights make it look like its pulling a few G's without even moving

Nowt girlie here. In fact it sounds quite useful.

ETA: I hope it looks better than the picture. That face flannel on the front does it no favours.

1 - looks fantastic
2. "battle axe" - so only women drivers?
3. Ted goes for "family" car?

[gerjo]

Looks good but why another coupe?
The 350C/T and Cerbera are already fantastic and hard to beat.
Why doesn't TVR build a new convertible? That's what most people are waiting for IMHO. The Tamora is o.k. but most of use would like it to look more like a 350.

[snorky]

Griffith = Griff
Chimaera = Chim
T350c = Tesco
Cerbera = Cerby
Sagaris = Saggy Arse ? ? ?



I think the S*niT*ry towel on the bonnet is to aid aerodynamics - after all they have WINGS don't they ??

[Plotloss]

4 seats?

Oh god, I see financial ruin ahead...

Top work!

[rocket]

Yeah....4 seats or 2 ??

Surely TVR can't let the Cerbie go until a new 2+2 becomes available. I don't think we need another 2 seater!!

if the err 'face flannel' remains on the production version then i'd guess due to the motorsport purpose of the car it'll be an easy way to reach the front end of the engine or some of the inboard suspension parts. Anyone who has been involved in TVR motorsport will know that the T400R's engine can be a git to get to esp at the brief pitstops!! Shorty made a lot of changes to his to make it easier to get at.......
