Having just agreed a sale of my Chim , I want to start looking for my next TVR and am very keen on a Cerbera.
Truth is I have never been in one , or even sat in one.
Is there an owner local to me (Horsham, West Sussex) I can travel, who would be so kind as to give me a bit of a look over a car and perhaps a brief ride arround the block.

Many thanks

David

Them Cerbs are all right, it's just damn tricky to get the roof off on a nice day!

There's a couple of chaps near you, I'm sure they will be along soon.

If one of them offers you a lift make sure you have very heavy tinted sunglasses biggrin

A great choice though, and a major step up. They look a bit the same, but that's where it ends, the Cerbera will make you think the Chimaera maybe only had a 1.3 engine in it.
Don't worry about getting the roof off, with both windows open on a Cerb you'd hardly notice there was a roof over your head.

If the locals don't come good, I'm down on Hayling, sure we could sort something.

Huge thanks to those for so many positive replies. I will pm some of the kind offers and appreciate very much your generosity.

What is it about Worthing that has attracted so many cars in one place ?

Well
After a few of days of looking, I am leaning towards a Tuscan !
In truth the Cerb in appearance terms is just a little too similar to what I had. The big downside is fixed roof. I have actually felt a little claustrophobic in them.

Thank you to all who contributed and huge thanks to Kevin (ttmr) your car is lovely and huge performance, much appreciation for your time and kindness.

Lets see what the next weeks bring, I do think it has to be a convertible.

Thanks

David
