Thinking of a Cerbera.

[so called]

Hi Cerbera world.
I've been a committed TVR man for many years having had a Tasmin 280, two Chimaera's and am on my second Tuscan having killed the first one.

I've never had a Cerbera and its an itch I have wondered about for years.
For a couple of reasons I feel quite nervous about getting a Cerbera.

Firstly, a couple of years ago I bought a Chimaera to go with my Tuscan and found it quite difficult to keep on top of the issues I was dealing with at the time on both cars.
I dont cut corners on the maintenance of my TVR's.

Secondly, I keep hearing that the Cerbera is the most expensive to maintain.

Maybe there is a third..........the guy that looks after my Tuscan keeps pointing at the Cerbera that I have in mind and saying "MANS CAR" and then at my Tuscan and saying "Hmmmmmm", so I'm feeling a little intimidated by it

Anyway, putting the third to one side, is the Cerbera a TVR itch that must be scratched?

Cheers,
Tony.

Again thanks. Test drive this evening but 90% made my mind up

You were all correct.
Test drive and its now mine.
I'll post some pics Saturday.
It's had a huge amount of work done by the previous owner. I have a short list of stuff I want to do but otherwise I'm delighted at the condition.

I have my Tuscan convertible for the roof off bit.

Merry Christmas

Hi so called. Proper car there. I'm the last owner so if you've got any questions etc please give me a shout. She has been superb in my ownership and I hope you like the work list that has been completed. There is probably a lot more I didn't document!!

Enjoy the air con in this weather.

Steve

Hi Steve, I was with Ian this afternoon and he said you had seen her on Ph.
Yes, very impressed with your work list.
I'm a very happy man.

Thanks for the offer of advice, what with Ian and yourself in the background I should be fine.

Cheers,
Tony.

Regarding the 5 week trip. I'm going in my Tuscan but it also involves Australia and India. (I don't drive in India)

Hi Tony,

I think Ian will be a bit better for advice, he's helped me out no end, I just have ideas and give him my credit card

If I can help with any other aspect please contact me, I have a lot of pics etc. Have you ran her properly yet? That overrun

Hi Steve, yes, I have a lot of confidence in Ian. He's been looking after my cars for 10 years now.
I only had a short test drive but it felt so good it was enough.
First big run will be a trip to Germany in August

Day 6 of owning a Cerbera......day 3 of a 5 week business trip.
Back home the engines coming out for a rebuild and some chassis treatment.

I've lost count of the Cerbera videos on Youtube.
Wheeler Dealer was interesting to watch.




Already driving me crazy.
