1998 TVR Cerbera 4.5 review from UK and Ireland
"A truly lovable beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiper motor failed shortly after purchase.
Clutch failed at 31000 miles, a regular problem with these cars due to the very high engine power.
General comments?
This car has awesome performance, which can hardly be exploited on the public road.
A Cerbera is a practical car - 4 seats, plenty of boot space, air conditioning and very comfortable.
Road holding is excellent.
This is the only production car I know of which comes with a built in rollover cage as standard - this increases safety considerably.
