Wildly different prices around
Gallery of TVR Cerberas for Sale

Not so hot on the track though (350 or Tuscan would be better), there are better 10k alternatives.

If it was for sale by anyone else other than Keighley Motors, then it might be worth a look!

But when the Engine goes pop, you'll need that much again for a new engine.

As much as I love TVR's (I'd love a T350) the reliability issues would just be too scary for me.

Early TVR Engines (built by themselves) had major problems. Mate has a Griffith 500 with the Rover V8 engine. Awsome car............






in a straight line.

I'm no expert so i might be wrong (just a sad tw*t who reads to much cr9p)

But the speed sixes problems resulted from faulty oil sender units fix this and they were fine, even so they reckon the earlier V8's were a lot more reliable.

Maybe a TVR owner could confirm this!

A mate bought a new one a while back.

Roof leaked badly and gear cable (I think) snapped within a month!
He had nothing but trouble with it.
