Any Owners in Ireland?
Discussion
Hi
There are several very nice Cerberas north of the border including one of the last ones made. They all use Torqueflyte at Ballygowan - been working on all TVRs for many years.

PS If you want to come north to talk to some Cerbera owners around Banbridge/Hillsborough let me know and I'll arrange intros for you - they're all very friendly and helpful. They'd give you plenty of useful info I'm sure/

Hello
I am from up north of the border. I dont own a Cerb myself as i am only 16, but my dad does. Torqueflyte do all of his servicing and always do a top job.
I think there are 3 cerbs down south but Ireland would know better than me.
I have seen in one of your other posts that you would like some info on the Cerb so here's some i prepaired earlier. (I had written this in another topic but thought this would be some use to you and it would give you some basic information on the cars).
The speed six engine is the less powerful engine it is a 4 litre in the Cerb it is supposed to develop 350 bhp. Then there is the 4.2 AJP this engine develops 360bhp, after this you can get a 4.5 which is supposed to develop 420bhp and finally the 4.5 Red Rose with 440bhp.
some more info on the engines:
Speed 6
Capacity: 3966cc
Max Power: 350 bhp @ 6800 rpm
Max torque: 330 ft.lbs @ 5000 rpm
0 - 60 mph: 4.4 secs
0 - 100 mph: 10.2 secs
Top Speed: 170 mph+
4.2

Max Power: 360 bhp @ 6500 rpm
Max torque: 320 ft.lbs @ 4500 rpm
0 - 60 mph: 4.2 secs
0 - 100 mph: 9.9 secs
Top Speed: 180 mph+
4.5
Capacity: 4475 cc
Max Power: 420 bhp @ 6750 rpm
Max torque: 380 ft.lbs @ 5500 rpm

Cars built 2000 onwards look slightly different to the earlier cars. The later cars have a higher roofline, different rear lights, painted door pillars and a different interior (Tuscan style). Some speed 6 cars kept the single round light at the front and the v8 cars got the tiny 3 lights. 2001 V8 cars will show a ring around the lights at the front.
In late 2001 and 2002 onwards the lights were blended in to the bodywork and in late 2002 it was given a rear angled number plate (not many cerbs have this).
The later cerbs 2000 onwards with tiny lights were called lightweights this is because the bonnet, roof and wings were made lighter.
You should come to the trackdays at Kirkistown they are great fun and everyone is really friendly (the dates for this year are on the NI forum).
PS. The Cerbera is a fantastic car and i hope to see you out
one soon. (Join the club and you wont stop

Hi Adrian
The service interval is every 6000mls or 12 months. The tappets are usually checked every 12000mls which does increase the cost of the service. I pay about £550 for the 6000mls and £675 for the 12000mls. This is at an official TVR establishment so prices would be cheaper maybe at an Indie.
Regards
Simon.

Hello.
I think there are three down here.
I have a 4.2, alinton (also on here) has a modfied 4.5 and there's also a Speed-6 (but I don't think he's on here, Seanie show yourself if you are) and we are all on Octane.ie as well.
While we don't use them every day, we do use them regularly.
I was out for a drive today and went for a spin over The Vee so that definitely proves they can handle the worst of the roads this country can throw at them.
You could also contact the Regional Organiser of the TVR Club who might know of other owners over here.
Send him a PM off his profile on Octane (he's TVR RoI RO on there).
Don't be afraid of getting a Cerb over here, but be prepared to do some of the simpler jobs on the car yourself as this will save you a lot of grief and hassle.
