Looking to enter the world of TVR ownership, i love the look of the Cerbera, but i also like the Chimera, performance figures seem to be fairly close and the Chimera is obviuosly far more available as a second hand car and the price is a little more accessable to me! Any comments welcome. Well within reason guys!

Cerbera running costs are about twice that of a Chimaera or Griff.

The Cerbie will eat a Chimaera for breakfast: better handling,acceleration and brakes.

Im fortunate enought ot have owned a Griff 500 followed by a Speed Six Cerbera. After a couple of years out as I was setting up my own business Im now back in the fold with a 4.0 Chimaera.

Of all of them The most special feeling comes from the Cerbera, its just on a different level.

Having said that, If its your first one, then the feeling of roof down on a Summers morning with the V8 of a Chimaera burbling away is very hard to resist.

I would also go along with the running costs mentioned earlier, you need bigger pockets for the Cerb.

I would start with the Chimaera, Get through to the end of next summer and move into a Cerb then.

Whatever you choose you will enjoy, providing you get a good one.
