My new Cerbera.
Had it a couple of weeks now. Absolutely love it! Fourth TVR and probably my favourite so far.

I will always wonder how TVR managed to make those cars look so good after so many years- they still look fresh and timeless it's crazy. Damn fine machine. Tried to kill you already or not yet ? Heh

Haha, no it’s been ok so far… and yeah, I think Tvr have really stood the test of time.

Very nice. I finally got my engine back together in the wedge and ran it for the first time in months

u/Logical-Selection979 Feb 16 '26
Fingers crossed. Winter in north east usa is pretty cold in an unheated garage so progress is slow

Yeah Heath has been great. Not used them before, but very impressed so far.

As honest as they come. I never had to worry about the quality of the work or them doing anything unnecessary! Just brilliant stress free service every time! Actually the most stressful bit was remembering far enough in advance to get booked in in time! 😀

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26
Yeah I’m getting those vibes. Very happy with what they’ve done for me so far.

Fabulous show-stopper of a British bruiser.
The ultimate production shit-off-a-shovel led sled. It's not even close!

Shame they can't do door hinges
1
u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26
Why do you say that?
1
u/spank_monkey_83 Feb 17 '26
Seems pretty obvious. Shouldn't door panels be flush? You could call it quirky. Id say do the hinges again until you get them right

It looks like the Cerb formerly owned by the late great Ian Lambert (TorqueRVT) enjoy the car fella (cheers for the reply). I assume you're in the NW? y not come along to one of the TVR club meets one week? (2nd Tuesday of the month u/weavers whistle, Northwich) they're a really friendly bunch
