For sure. I'm hoping to take it to a few shows next year all being well.

Hopefully the pockets won't be required too much! It's had the outriggers done and there's stacks of online info and help. The chap I bought it off is keeping in touch and he knows loads of people who work on TVRs, so he may be handy to know!

It's the speed sixes that are £££ to maintain. Chimaeras and Griffiths are made up of Ford and Vauxhall parts bin pieces and the lump is a proven V8 used in Land Rovers for years. Nowt to go wrong really, lol!

Never realised that. Remember years ago wanting a cerbera and literally every single info on them was horrifying lol but wasn't aware that the other models were built different.

Lovely car and always good to be different. Welcome to the V8 CS club

TVR did their own version of a 4.2 V8 I think, which Cerberas have. Tamoras, Tuscans, Sagaris etc have the speed six, which need tappets adjusting every few thousand miles.

Thanks mate, gas guzzlers rule!

So would i. Only because someone at work had one and i remember thinking about where all the rain that landed on the bonnet ends up.

Not really a fan tbh. They just have the homemade vibe about them and look like an old mg to me. Sorry.

I get what you're saying 3cm. After a Seven style kit car, this is the sensible progression. It's far from everyone's cup of tea. The noise more than makes up for the parts bit build quality!
