Pickup my first Cerbera on Monday!
Discussion
I pickup my new Cerbera on Monday. Its my first TVR and my emotions are all over the place! The excitement is killing me and dreaded journey home is making me nervous. Booked in with RT racing for an inspection straight away for peace of mind then off to Silverstone Sunday Service then stored away for winter, with the occasion run out if the weather is decent.
I bought it off a member off here, its a 4.5 in yellow. Looks like its been really looked after and lots of key upgrades have been done to keep it running spot on.
Did anyone feel the same with their first TVR?

Thanks for all the comments, hoping to get a few good weekends out of it while the weather is ok. The plan is if the inspection is ok and it doesnt need any major work, to take it to Joolz in Chesterfield (15mins from me) for a live remap then just maintain and go to as many shows/outings as possible. This will probably be my final fun car before life prioties so i want to make the most of it!
Ive signed up to TVRCC, member pack will hopefully be with me at the weekend.
I will post up a thread on readers rides when i have it.

The South Yorkshire TVR club meeting is this Sunday from 12:30 at the Stockyard lorry park just off jnt 1 of the M18, you don't need to be a member to attend. Weather permitting there should be quite a few cars present just to whet your appetite further. Also a good source of knowledge for any car issues you may encounter.
Im off to the Yorkshire Big Breakfast Meet in Malton on the same day in my mates Skyline, may pop down on the way back if I have time. Would be good to meet some fellow owners.Thanks for the advice, the map wont be til next year but i will speak to joolz about the ins and outs nearer the time.
Just got my member pack. Reading through the magazine, the community looks great with monthly meetings all over, I definitely will be attending these.
Im really excited its all just beginning to set in just hope the weather holds out for me on monday and i can get her safely home!!

Its back safe and sound, what a wierd driving experience! Nothing like ive drove before, got a bit of getting used to especially the clutch but that will all come with time. Sounds great, purposely letting it overun for the pops and bangs never gets old and thumbs up/stares from other drivers on the way home.
Also first time ever putting fuel in and the shell attendee comes running out incase im doing funny business, luckily they knew it was tvr and asked if i was using a can or direct to the tank.
Weather also stayed great, so ive just been out with my dad and hes had a little go, he loved it so a thumbs up from him.
Didnt manage an inspection today so booked in for wednesday then a cleaning session at the weekend. Also had alot of messages off car friends for a ride so il be fulfilling that at some point as well.
Im alot more relaxed now with ownership now its home, just need to get some savings behind me incase of a big bill and use it as much as possible! Bring on next years show season.
One little thing, is the handbrake supposed to be really high up to stop it as it takes a right pull to secure the car.

Thanks for all the congrats! Il ask about the handbrake and clutch on the inspection to see if this is normal as im not used to this kind of car.
Another point is the very potent steering, you can feel everything in the corners and for a bigish car it handles surprisingly well compared to other cars ive owned.
Cant wait for a blast at the weekend now.
Il stick a readers ride up at the weekend once its all clean.

100% this. Disappointed Rob's left the fold, don't rule out him returning and bringing up the hat-trick some day! Joolz is the ideal man to take it to.
Yep, we've all had that buzz. I had it eight years ago and the pops and bangs still make me smile.
Glad you got sorted anyway.
