If anyone is mug enough to bid, just make sure you get confirmation that they have an adequate supply of spares, in the unlikely event that the car should break down or require any warranty repairs such as a new engine.
And aresholes to you too...

Firstly for context I am a big fan of Cerbs, love mine, but last Cerb...hmmm

Terry S in my region was supposedly the owner of 'the last Cerb' as reported in TVRCC Sprint, which is a black with black leather and carbon fibre interior and was built specifically for NS as the last Cerb but who then allowed it to be sold to him as the last.


Wasn’t this a Tuscan S with all that carbon fibre, bolted on...the 20 DVD screens shoved in, oh and what was it 600HP with NOS… give it a rest. It was at some motor show; one guy on the stand told me the whole body shell was carbon. I just laughed and told him to stop being so naïve. As I’ve stated, I’ve heard there’s been a few ‘Last of the Cerberas’ – where they are, who knows!
I recon ‘this one’ will end up in Saudi or somewhere like this? The Boss Cerbera is one of a kind, stupidly they should have done this to ‘this’ last one… made it unique. As for the specs... phah!

I remember politely questioning the sanity of the poster of that thread too, it was a customised Cerb from memory

Surley this is a good thing having a brand new cerb, the factory must 'have to' supply parts for current models for a set period of time?

When is this new bloke going to stop trying to make a living on the genius of PRW and show something new as was promised for the motorshow. The Cerbera is just about my all time fave car but it's over ten years old. TVR was once the most exciting car company in the world but has been reduced to a laughing stock of late. I personally lost interest about 12 months ago, my real concern is that the faithfull die hards are going to wise up to this hot air sooner rather than later. A contact I have at the factory has told me that only 2 cars have been sold at the MS. For the sake of God NS, sell up to someone with an ounce of sense before it's too late. It takes more than a stupid amount of your daddy's money to run a buiness. Stand up and be counted, put your balls on the chopping board, stop being so dull and unproductive. Suprise us or do one.

STEADY ON - I wouldn’t say NS has done nothing for TVR. If wheeler had retained the company it would have probably lasted another fortnight. NS has got a larger plan for TVR. If he can start selling cars to a wider European market and even to the Far East then I’m sure TVR will show huge growth, I understand that NS is currently modifying the speed 6 to comply with the necessary emissions regulations. Looking at the cars at the motor show, they are the best build quality ever, the Saggy looked just so robust and there was no sign of nasty little brackets, clips or double sided sticky tape – I just cant see how he could fail selling cars to these new markets, and besides he is probably sick to death with us moaning c--ts. (he just needs to brush up on customer relations a little)

Just out of interest has anyone actually received a registration number yet? I paid my £10 as soon as it was promoted on piston heads but as yet nothing in the mail, letter or e?

Well . . . why on earth anyone would have this one is beyond me. And over a year after the last one rolled out . . . If this is a publicity stunt, it's a bad one. And that color is poofish, sorry.

I just hope 'they' don't do an auction with every 'last one'. O to his publicity team: "Damn, that's a really great idea!" :zzz:

I'm more interested in the 'new' ones. Maybe I missed 'em but I didn't see many TVR Motorshow pics flying around . . .
