After five or so years of Tivving, I'm changing Marque. Not an easy choice, but what TVR could posibly replace the Cerb? We are still going to keep a link with TVR, the folks associated with the cars are the salt of the earth - the nicest hooligans I know!

Well that hit the nail on the head. There is no replacement for the Cerb in the TIV lineup. Shame really.

What are you going for next?

Noble! Seems like a hoot, makes a noise, drop dead georgeous and goes like Greased Stink.
I have looked around and would have liked a Aston, but for the money, we'd end up with a 10 yr old model, or alternatively something more main stream like a M3 or Porker, stonking cars, but missing the VaVaVoom. I wouldn't have missed out on my time with my Cerb, so many smiles - worth every penny.

O & I'm gonna put my Plate on the Noble laugh

Nice choice, though out of my price range. Have fun - they look great cars.

I dare say the noble would whoop a Cerb round a track, but do you really think its drop dead georgeous? For me its a bit ford escort meets fin and wing man.

How about the marcos?

[quote=Julian64I dare say the noble would whoop a Cerb round a track[/quote]And on the road too, those things go damn quick. I went to visit the factory last year (as my parents live just 5 miles from it) and found one out on a post-service blat as it turned out. I thought I'd have it under acceleration, but boy I was wrong.

The 0-60 of some of the models whup anything TVR have come up with yet, damn impressive they are.

The Looks may not be as Awsome as a Cerb, but it floats my boat, the long low lines & that F8ck Off Spoiler makes it a spoiler with a wheel on each corner. The Handling too (from my limited experience) just makes it an easy car to drive. As Tripps says, the 0-60 time is Lotus esq, with the 0-100 being TVR Quick.

As for the Plate Paul - I'd have no Pistonheads Tag if I sold that cry

I'd be interested to know what you think of the interior. Having been around Tiv's for 12 years now I reckon the Cerbera is just about the pinnacle of the organic swoopy leather interiors that started with the Griff, the Noble on the other hand looks a bit like a Demon Tweaks parts bin jobbie, a bit race-car like but the opposite of the Cerbera. Outside shapes are always a matter taste and I can see why the Noble appeals in a sort of Lotus Esprit kind of way but to me, at least, inside just doesn't feel special in the way the TVRs always do... interested in you thoughts. Rich...

I make you right there Rich, it is the pinnacle & nothing TVR do at the moment measures up to it. I think the Noble ends up with function over form & I suppose I am lucky in that 1 of the other cars I now get to drive regularly is a BMW330C, so the comfort level of the Cerb is met with that car. The Noble will be taking on the Wow Factor and permagrin that stretching the Cerb gave me.

has been good meeting you both at different events over the past year, CREAM, Austecs thumbup

I'm sure you'll have as much fun in the noble.

I hope 'fluffy' goes to a good home, and if you still have the child seat in the back..should be a good selling point
