Hi,

There seems to be an increasing amount of new owners to Cerberas recently and whilst I had the possible offer of a 1 owner SEAC I couldn't resist joining the list of owners of one of the most ferocious TVRs ever made.. that and 2 wedges seemed a bit too much..

The car has been inspected by Rob Ingleby and whilst is not in the best of conditions, for the money it seems a good deal (if there is ever such a thing), this way ensuring all the mechanicals are done now and hopefully will give me some time to get it spot on and back to how it should be.

On a positive note the car has had a bottom end done at Blackpool in the last year with the later spec clutch and seems pretty original with no apparent signs of any paintwork having been done - so the front looks like a spotty teenager.

Picking her up on Saturday - very late 1996 4.2 Cooper Green with full magnolia leather & aircon.

Let the fun begin

Indeed, another influx of owners - excellent.

Enjoy the car and take it easy at first.

Welcome aboard Seamus!

I notice you are based in the south east, if you fancy showing your new toy off a lot of us will be going to Brands Hatch this Sunday for the TVR Tuscan and GT racing.

Hope to see you soon.

Looked a cracking deal

Nope - I did have a thought about that one and had a quick nose whilst it was at Fernhurst, just not the colours I was after.. shallow I know..

It was.. but I couldn't get around the grey, once this one came up with magnolia it was the preferred option.. as far as I can tell Fernhurst were doing a report on the Norwegian chaps car following some minor work that needed doing.. so the buyer at least has more information available to help in a decision - seemed an ok car..
