Oh yeah, forgot to mention

6) Chicks dig the 2000+ cars because of Tuscan seats give easier ride (!!!), lightweight doors and bonnet are easier on their gentle hands, afterburners and other updates that I am sure are many but I do not know about.

Let battle commence when folks read this in the morning!

Funnily enough no Cerbera V8 has a Rover engine either, they also happen to be dry sump too etc....etc......

Yep - TVR power for all Cerbie drivers !

Melling built both, but the wet sump ended up in the Cerb.

Jools' response I believe is the litmus for this thread

Having been searching for a Cerbera for months and now the proud owner of a 2000 Speed 6, I can catagorically confirm the following unbiased information:

1) SP 6 engine is superior than any other TVR engine (DOHC, Dry Sump, not used crappy Rover engine as a design measure, power delivery etc etc etc)
2) TVR rock- what other small scale mfg design and build their own engines. (stop giving them a hard time and focus your attention on Noble who use Ford engines, or lotus who use Rover engines for god sake!)
3) SP6 owners enjoy fuller lives than there "stuck in the past" V8 comrades
4) Unconfirmed reports suggest personal hygiene and attractiveness to the opposite sex is also higher for Sp6 owners than that of V8 owners
5) Contrary to popular belief, pearlescent blue is indeed the best colour for a Cerbera. Residual values should be marked up accordingly. I shall raise this with Parkers at my earliest opportunity.

Should set a few heartbeats going........


Correctymundo on all accounts! Now where's Ocean1?

I'm going to the Zoo to feed the trolls....

1)Don't start, been done to death, V8 far superior in every respect to the fiddly fingered SP6.

2)Lotus built and developed their own V8 as well. Difference is the new lotus elise with Toyota power is now federal compliant opening up a huge and profitable market for them, TVR are still stuck to the UK only with personal imports only to the rest of the world, limits the sales market somewhat.

3) How can SP 6 owners have a fuller life when they spend every waking hour at the garage waiting for the re-built engine to be returned? V8 owners live much fuller lives by the virtue we can go out shopping!!

4) Unconfirmed reports also suggest that V8 drivers have more money (less money spent on rebuilds), are more intelligent, are better drivers and manage to please their wives in bed. SP 6 drivers may be more attractive but only when in the car, and as them being in the car doesn't happen that often we V8 guys have nothing to worry about.

5)ANY colour for a cerbera is fine especially if its burgundy.
