1998 TVR Cerbera 4.2 review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic performance from a real head turner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension had collapsed due to long storage by previous owner. Had new dampers and road springs under warranty.
Rear exhaust box collapsed, due to long storage - £450 to replace.
Odd transient faults with starter motor.
Clutch hydraulics failed - repaired under warranty.
General comments?
A real super-car! Beat Ferraris and eat Porsches for beakfast.
Makes me laugh out loud just to sit in it.
The Cerbera goes like a bullet, but has no airbags or traction control, but a massive tubular chassis under the fibre-glass body.
Needs care in the wet.
