I've got a 4.2 96. The nice one about yours is the few owners, meaning it may have been a good egg. BUT it hasn't been used much has it? Been garaged? Off road for work maybe?

...DOH!!! what the feck am I doing I could be here all night. Look at my profile!!!
My 4.2 has has around £30k of work and replacement parts, and counting, I've spent a few '000s in the last few months and from what I can see there will be a few more to get her back to near factory level. (or hopefully better
). {art of owning a car like this, It is not a euro box but a very rare enthusiast's ENGLISH supercar.
Love the car though, nice and orginal, not been pis3ed about with.
Buying the Cerbera was the best thing I've done for a long time, fulfillment of an ambition I had when I saw a TVR stand at Brands Hatch when I was about 15 then the Speed 12 demo at the London Motor Show. TVR had me from then on.

Thats what it's all about. £12750 seems a fair price, but as Southend says, it's not an euro box or a super reliable Jap, buying a Cerb is a commitment, be prepared to spend big bucks, but be happy as larry if you don;t have to. Gassing Station | Cerbera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
