Hello all. We live in St Ives(Cornwall)and we will be looking to buy our 1st TVR Cerbera. We went to the last TVR meet in cornwall but only 2 Chims a Griff and a S series turned out. No Cerbera weeping The owners were very helpful and a good bunch. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
Is there anyone who lives in cornwall near us that ownes a Cerbie? tumbleweed
My better half has never seen one in the flesh and it would be nice to talk to a owner/s in our area.
Any other advise on buying/owning is welcome. Also any other proud TVR owners in our area would be welcome. thumbup

Thanks all

I saw a yellow one parked out side a house overlooking Boscastle when I was there last summer, a think a few people have seen it, but I'm not sure it's a PHer. Although it could have been someone their on holiday? Where is your nearest dealer, they might have one?

They said steer clear of a CERBERA - surely they must have meant SIERRA...

Hi! There are a couple down here, including me.The sun and dry roads will soon bring us out. I'm on my second cerb now, first one being a 4.2 which was fine.(Although I did lose it in a fire-reason unknown).I now have a 4.5 which I have had no real problems with. If you want to talk to someone in the know I suggest you give Richard Smith a call at Dullford automotive. A long drive for a service I know but worth it I think compared to some.

Cheers Pat.

How spooky - a friend of mine with a V8S told me about a yellow Cerb parked up high on the hill when they stayed there too!! They didn't see it move whilst they were there, but unless they were on holiday there the same time as you (double spooky!) then it could well live there

I've seen it there a couple of times, first time I had a bit of a look and judging by the horrendously rusty and pitted state of the disks I'd say it hadn't been anywhere for a while

If anyone does have a Cerbie in or around Falmouth and wants to give a massive Cerbera fan a ride though....

Im in Devon with my Purple GT (for sale....) the guys at the main dealer in Exeter did try to scare me off buying a cerb as well, rubbish! Dulford are fab though, give me a call.

yes Dulford are fab! They came with us to 'Cerburgring' this weekend to provide us with support and not only are they great people, but they are extremely capable! They successfully managed to support some 30 TVR's, 20 of which were Cerberas. I think you are lucky that they are in your neck of the woods!!

Hi All

I saw that yellow Cerb on a newsclip live from Boscastle last time they had those bad floods a while ago. It was parked right where the the outside broadcast was being filmed. Just a coincidence.

Regards
Simon.
