White Cerbera in New TVR Showroom Park Lane

[dictys]

There is a very nice white Cerbera in the new TVR showroom on Park Lane where the old MG showroom was.

Is this TVR North London? or someone else.

Is that the one that was auctioned? 'the last one'

This is the last Cerbera ever made, saw it myself today. Popped in to the showroom and saw Kris the Sales Manager. This showroom is the London TVR showroom for new and used sales, but they will still service at Kings X apparently.

TVR web site said:

The last Cerbera goes to a good home, 8 September 2006

The unprecedented live online auction of the last ever TVR Cerbera, which was brought back into production especially for the occasion and was specified personally by TVR's chairman, ended successfully on 31 August.

Although the reserve price was not met, TVR has chosen to allow this historic car to go to the highest bidder. TVR is pleased that the event was an all-round success, with far more interest, registrations and bids than it had anticipated; the online auction received almost one-million hits during the month that it was live.

The winning bidder speaking today said: "I'm a big fan of TVR, and it's always been an ambition of mine to own a Cerbera. This is a beautiful and momentous example of the car, and it's going to a good home - I intend to treasure it forever and never to sell it." The winner will be announced officially soon, and a handover and press day will take place.

The official website - www.thelastcerbera.com - will remain online indefinitely, catering for the marque's massive worldwide fan-base and serving to commemorate the occasion. A limited-edition catalogue is available to purchase through the website.

"The chairman's homage" no less.

Not true - as of 12th December -- a russian with the initials of N S took it home with him from the factory that Tuesday. Where it went from there idk, but the bidder of the auction did not get it.( I was having my car serviced at the factory on the 14th when the guys told me all about that episode ).

who'd want a Aston v8 Vantage or 997 GT3 / Turbo when you could have a white cerbera from a non existent manufacturer for the same money?
