Development 4.5 for sale - a good buy?
Discussion
Well a couple of years ago I was looking for a Cerbera though being used to yank iron I ended up being "safe" and bought a Mustang instead.
Anyway the urge is returning and every now and then I look out to see what's for sale...
This looks as sensible to me as any: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1485922.htm
It's a well known car apparently having been owned by TVR as a development car. My thoughts are that:
1) it will be well known to owners on this forum
2) it will be a shining example, having been factory maintained
3) For the above 2 reasons and maybe others it'll be a good buy?
So, almost waiting to be shot down in flames as I know very little about Cerberas (but I know plenty about cars, having maintained all of mine, from a V12 jag to a Callaway twin turbo Corvette) I'd be grateful if anyone here has any opinions on this car, good or bad?
Thanks, Malc

It's also on ebay .. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-TVR-CERBERA-4-5-TVRS-OW...
IMO it looks like a lot of TVR for circa 12k.
Development car with some unique features, 4.5 ,lovely colour combination,great provenance and really original condition.
A Porsche, Ferrari or fast Ford with these credentials would be big money.
These single headlamp ,early Cerbs look so well proportioned on 16" wheels
.
If i had any cash left, i'd own it.

Yeah I'm actually wondering if it is such a great bet: it could have one-off parts or it could be that, as a test mule, it may have had some abuse or excessively hard driving or something (I may of course be totally wrong)...
If I get serious about a Cerbera I'd do better to benefit from advice and knowledge from owners who have experience of maintaining and repairing standard cars.
This could be a real heartbreaker though probably of moe interest to someone with a lot of Cerbera experience rather than a potential rookie like me.
It seems to have attracted rather less interest than I would've expected for whatevcer reason.
I also notice the dealer has some bad feedback...
