Does anyone know how many Cerberas are left on the roads in the UK? Obviously apart from shows and meets etc it's pretty rare you see another Cerbera at the same time as you're driving you own. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way of guessing how many are left?


Cheers,

Andy

Apparently, there were 1996 made. Then they seemed to make a number of the "last one ever built"!!

There's a high mortality rate, usually within 300 metres of a roundabout on a dual carriageway (leaving the roundabout) so just take it easy!!

Any guesses how many survive now?

Cheers

400 TVR's turned up at Chatsworth this year, 527 at London Thunder. I doubt there were over 50 cerberas at either event.

It wouldn't surprise me if the figure is somewhere below 500

Not sure how reliable this is, but somebody posted it to the TVRCC forum:

It's not that accurate I reckon. 1996 total Cerbera's is a figure that most people seem to be familiar with. Apparently when they were building my car, they were going to get some shiny sill plaques made up saying something along the lines of number 1996 of 1996 - but sadly..... they didn't bother frown .

Anyway, in the chart it doesn't detail BossCerbera's in 2005 and mine in 2006.
