Autocar this week....Steve Sutcliffe...Quick thinking: Rear-wheel drive:why?

In a brief article discussing the merits and differences of front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and four wheel drive and basically querying how and why rear wheel drive exists...

''Call it the TVR Cerbera factor if you like. The Cerbera had no anti-lock brakes, no traction control and almost no chance of saving you if got it wrong on a wet road - yet because of this it was hailed as some kind of ultimate drivers car''

and later on...

''Which means the Cerbera, along with the gloriously irrelevant 200 yard power slide, would simply never have been invented. In light of which, perhaps its just as well that not everything in life turns out as it should''.

Nice to see the Cerb still referred to in the press let alone TVR generally...

Well spotted.

Sutcliffe was always a cerb fan. He had one for a year & raced Tuscans of course biggrin
