Clutch question

[Lee M]

I am going to look at a 4.5 Cerbera as below at the weekend ...i am checking over the service history before i go and have a look and have noticed that it is still on the original clutch....just had 12k service and is sitting on 28,000 miles any thoughts about the clutch and anyone here owned the car or know anything about it...

ha ha ha clutches!!! well mine gave up on day 1 of purchase..owned car 3 weeks and admire it daily sat on a friends drive - that is until TVR decide they would like to provide one to my indy!!! still waiting......

Needed arms like Garth to get it in gear - first anyway,once up and running it was fine, until it went completely - couldnt get it out of 4th on the m-way.

Mine went at 30k. The pressure plate fingers broke rather than the linings wearing out. Hard to say how long a clutch will last, it all depends on past driving styles. Allow around £1500 to replace it and do the seals.
