HI,
I went to the Neil Garner event today. Had a great blast going there with the Hampshire TVRCC. I was surprised to see so few Cerberas, loads of other models. I think we counted about 5 or 6 amongst approx 150 TVR's how come? Still had a good day, just wanted to ogle at more cerberas

Cheers
Steve

Lots of Cerbera's went to Spa this weekend, that's probably a factor smile

Spooky, I was going to post the same thing, was surprised how rare the Cerb is, I saw more Sagaris than Cerberas there.
My little boy was quite taken by the purple Cerb that was there, I've not seen one with quad tailpipes before.

It's rare but not massively so.

The Fiat Coupe RHD is 4,000 examples the Cerbera is 2,000 examples.

Funny, my wife just told me how common they are as we've got three in our garden at the moment!!!

One in bits, one for storage and one for electrical repair after going to Gardners today.

They look great out there.

I can honestly say in the last year on the road I hae seen 1 Cerbera (yellow j12 to j13 M4 commuting hours).
Apart from that I've sen two at Silverstone classic um that's it 3 in total in a year... And I live in Berkshire, wish I could see more on the road & I cannot recall a time when I've seen one driven in anger either.

2,000 or so made, around 600 left on the road I think.

As few as that left what happened to the other 1,400 can they not be saved from the scrap yard or is if rotten chassis killing them (though as values stabilise and increase then they become economical to repair - totally ignoring the petrol head need to keep them going ).


How much is a total wreck if a car - not cat D or C? Thinking are they currently viable to renovate or is it still better to buy a solid mended example?

That number doesn't include any SORN'd Cerbs like mine, or the handful overseas. My cerb is a Cat D that happened at only 4 years old, I guess a lot of those that were bent, were never repaired.

I saw you leave & was glad you never parked next to mine , your car looked very nice indeed. Yes the "Quad" pipes the P.O. fitted them & as it came with two stainless exhausts I doubt I'll bother to change it back, glad the little man liked it. I did pass you & said hello when we at the rear of the workshop by Sags.
Have to mention Bykers car, looks absolutely stunning,it could not been any cleaner underneath the day it left the factory .

Yeh, was a little windy too! On our convoy out there we had a SL65 AMG with more fins and wings you could shake a stick at, wanting to play and see if it could tempt someone from the TVR snake. Looked quite menacing, pity the roads were just that bit too busy, would have liked to given him a run for his money and see if he was just a body kit on a moer basic model.

I thought there were some really nice cerbs present, who had the sunroof and where was it done? Looked a really good conversion.
