Anybody have any knowledge/experience of them?

They have a few cheap TVRs for sale.

Based in Northumberland.

I've been in a couple of times looking at Cerberas before I bought mine (elsewhere). Paul Stephenson is the guy to talk to there (I think he is the owner). In general terms he competes on price with the local dealer HHC - always sells TVR's with a WH warranty and services them through TVR dealer in Scotland. Seems genuine enough.

I also considered buying a car from Paul, who is one of the partners, he was getting his TVR stock serviced by HHC so not too sure about the Scotland conection.
Bought one off here privately in the end and saved £4K.
Haven't heard any bad reports about the Garage.

Don't like to knock the guy cos he seems to be enthusiastic but the cars are not in as as good a condition generally as HHC which is probably reflected in the price difference

My wifes 106 GTI and my 500 Griffith both came from Bedlington Motor Co. One or two problems came to light with the Griffith a couple of months after I got it but Paul tells me that either he or the warranty will see to the main difficulty (Diff bearings). That is very fair in my view. The other problems were unforseen but not unexpected on a 37000 mile Griffith regardless of who supplied it. NOELV8 whose profile is on this site now checks over the cars supplied by Bedlington. He is recognised as being probably the best TVR man in Scotland. I believe the previous servicing arrangements were seen as a conflict of interest by the supplier. I would not hesitate to recommend Bedlington, and feel they are very fair and honourable. From what I can read on these postings you are as likely to buy a dog of a car from a main dealer, with the same WH warranty, but at a lot more money. You pays your money - you takes your choice !!
