Great value find.. if you want a solid Cerbera

[elginbear]

I have been looking to get back into a V8 TVR for some time, having had a Chimaera 500 then a Tamora and thought it was time to check out an AJP powered Cerbera.

This one http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t... was close to me and Vixpy1 showed me around and took me out in it.

It is exactly what it says on the tin.. if not better – bodywork and engine much better than I expected to find. The engine pulls smoothly and sounds just great, and was matched by how it felt on the road. Even with the road conditions far from perfect the Cerbera felt sure footed and accelerated fast and straight. Firm ride that you just know you could eat up the miles in.

Is it for me? Sadly not, the windscreen is just too much like a letter box, I wanted a bigger view out, so it is back to a Chimaera for me.

Thanks Vixpy1, great drive and I am sure that your Cerbera will get snapped up fast, a great car at a great price

Bloody hell that is cheap!!

[Warwick67]

Blimy, that IS cheap, tempting to have a second one at that price

[Steve_T]

Top lurking OP and good luck Charlie - if anything it's too cheap!

[SuperVM]

I've spotted this car too and would probably have it, but it's about five months too soon for me. Someone is going to get a fantastic bargain.

[Jhonno]

I don't know the car, but perhaps it is too cheap, and that is what is putting people off?! Scared about being stung by a cheap one?!

[Jhonno]

If you think what "They" charge for lashed up salvage..

[Oggs]

Right colour for me good honest seller in Charlie just a shame that I don't have the money

Very true this - I am tempted and looking to add a cerb and fancy the idea of a restoration, and then I think costs and am I inheriting a money pit when I could buy a stunner for c£24k?? Decisions, decisions

No harm in coming to have a look at it
I believe it's too cheap as well! I've told him he should put it back up to 10k !!

Yup charlies alright. Shame about the other driver...


runs and hides.

That is too cheap and as said maybe scaring a few off. Even with problems it really is a bargain any way you look at it for that price.

[Jhonno]

Could have a Cerb with a fresh chassis for 'solid' Cerb money there..

[Oggs]

It is cheap but it doesn't mean it's a money pit.

Buying a 24k car doesn't guarantee it isn't a money pit.

How about buying a 7.5k car and spending your change on a 4.7 rebuild when/if it ever needs it. What are they making now - 480bhp?

[Jhonno]

There is a 4.7 and a fresh chassis in that change!

Shame, would love for it to go to a fellow pher and tvr fan! Don't rule out Cerberas completely though, try looking for a lightweight model, they appear to have a much larger view, they have a smaller bar at the top and no sun visors, so you will need a good pair of sunglasses lol, I use to drive one and I think there is a big difference!

Thanks Dave!

Hope you're both well, may see you on a trip soon hopefully! Although might not be in a TVR

AS already said far too cheap,

Liking the style, Cerb with the RRC in the background, still hanker after one of those too, but haven't got the garage space for one .

If it wasn't for my changing circumstances, I'd have bought it already.

Couple of the styling choices aren't my cup of tea but easily fixed.
