Is this the Cerb that ate all those Tuscans, Chims and Scoob in the video at Croft and Knockhill?

Which video? Is it on-line? If so please point me in the right general direction!

The vidios are on the scottish tvr web site, you can get to it through the tvr car club site.

Marvellous - many thanks!

Somebody call?

Only it isn't mine anymore. It's sitting in Henley Heritage's showrooms now, unless they've sold it.

Was it modified in any way? It just seemed so quick.

It's how you drive them




No 'performance' mods, just a humble 4.2 with stiffer springs, AVOs, and common-or-garden TOYO tyres; and I even think some of the footage pre-dates the spring upgrades.

How many circuits did you try the car out at William?

Which was your favourite?

[jellison]

Couple of nounces in the Tuscans - not a clue!

Just Knockhill [frequently], Croft [quite frequetly] and Oulton Park [once only].

The Cerbera always went well at Croft, so probably the favourite Cerbera circuit, with Oulton a very close second - but then I only did it once. I'm sure it has the potential to be number 1 after a bit more practice [another TVRCC day soon!!!]. However, while I never liked Knockhill that much in the Cerbera, it is fabulous in the Westfield...so much so that after I bought the MegaBlade I never drove the Cerbera again on a track day...which why it's now languishing for sale in Henley Heritage!

Thanks for that, I'll try to check them out.
What were they like on noise?
Was yours dectated or have Sports pipes...or both?

I was also wondewring why you'd let the Cerbera go, now
I know!

Go create some weather...

Open sports pipes and decat

Latterly put on quieter sports pipes.

The 'rot' certainly started when I got the megablade, when it really showed up the Cerbera's track day weaknesses [and running costs!]. But there's another reason too....
All should be revealed soon, hopefully.

Did you have to fit any silencing devices for the track
days, as I already know many won't take mine and I
want to run a real circuit rather than an airfield
with it?

Hmmm, another reason....sounds interesting....?!

Nope, but then Knockhill has no noise limits that I'm aware of; Croft aren't bad either, and the TVRCC day(s) at Oulton Park are 'noisy days'. I did see some cars get tested at Oulton before they went on track, but they were generally ones that looked like race cars or were revving up in the pits.

It would appear the further South you go the more they are concerned with noise. Conversely, if you are making noise then maybe you want to head North!

Going to Scotland in a few weeks, so I might
see what I can tie up.
Thanks for your help
