I've been reading with interest for a couple of months now all the 'should I buy one' type stories and also the 'my engines buggered - again' stories regarding Cerbera's. Problem is I drove a 4.2 on Saturday and it is indeed fabulous to drive and I'd love to have one. I drive a 4.3 Chim at the moment which has been a paragon of reliablity, now I realise it'll cost me 3 times as much to run - which I can handle - but I really cannot have a car which is at risk of detonating its engine/gearbox/pther expensive parts at any given moment and cost £5k + in the process. I would be using it for fun drives / holidays / trackdays. So tell me, really, should I do it or do I have to leave TVR (REALLY dont want to) to step up from my Chim. Does mechanical sympathy / lots of TLC help or is it down to luck? How do I find a car which won't blow its engine? I REALLY want to be talked into this, the car has done most of the work already - I love it, just want a real opinion on the useability of them... cheers...
