TVR maintained its tradition of building cars that were not only exceptionally powerful, but also very light, The Cerbera's weight was quoted by TVR at 1100 kilos, for their power output. The dashboard was designed especially for the Cerbera and uses a two-spar steering wheel as opposed to the typical three-spar previously found in most TVRs. Like all TVRs of the Peter Wheeler era, the Cerbera had a long-travel throttle to compensate for the lack of electronic traction-control and very sharp steering. The V8 powered cars were two turns from lock to lock and the Speed Six car was 2.4 turns.
In 2000, TVR changed the styling of the car slightly by modifying the headlights to more closely resemble those seen on the TVR Tuscan. The "facelift" features were available with all three engine sizes. In addition, the cars equipped with the 4.5 litre engine were offered with the "lightweight" option, reducing the overall weight through the use of lighter body panels and a slightly reworked interior. The Cerbra was designed from the start as a 2+2, and the interior is designed so that the passenger seat can slide farther forward than the driver's seat. This allows more room for the person sitting behind the front passenger.
This is a very early 'clatter cam' Cerbera with the lower "pillarbox" roof line. Mechanically spot on, with a recent 12k mile tappets overhaul after recent lay up (circa £6k spent), meaning peace of mind motoring. The car has a lovely chassis as you would expect on an earlier car. Fantastic interior (the drivers bolster is new) in magnolia and dark blue. The car is finished in metallic pearl blue and is very presentable with the odd age related mark.
The Speedometer shows 28,000 but has been changed, so the true mileage is 48,000 (the original clock is available). A new race clutch slave cylinder has just been fitted.
