More practical Z replacement from Blackpool

Post by JoshsZ4M » Mon Oct 11, 2021 5:21 am

Who ever thought they’d hear one of Blackpool’s finest described as practical I hear you ask? Well on Saturday I became the proud owner of one of the last V8 Cerbera’s… and I thought I’d share the pics below 😃 if you’ve got preconceived ideas of TVR, leave them at the door 😂 aside from the fact that this particular car is concours, the late Cerbera’s are very well screwed together, the chassis and engines are the strongest they ever made. I’m properly in love with the car, having found a great local specialist who has and will look after it. All of that out of the way, my god does it go 😈 honestly the fastest thing I’ve driven, but I can see why people make comparisons to TVR with the M’s… although the Cerb is just on another level completely!
Here’s a few pics, feel immensely fortunate that I’ve been able to do it… roll on next season :driving:

Always loved TVR for their sometimes whacky design, such as the gauges on yours, congrats on the purchase that looks stunning :thumbsup:

Lovely Cerb that, I came from Cerb ownership to Coupe ownership.

My AJP was a 4.5 with the 4.2 inlet like yours made a good 390bhp on the dyno. She never actually broke down on me in my ownership she had some funny quirks though :rofl:

I’ve had many tvr variants, Interspersed with some z’ds.

The drive is always more “entertaining”

I still have this one….

Seems mad having 2 convertibles…. But I just can’t seem to get round to advertising it.

Fantastic car. :thumbsup:

I've always loved TVRs but have never been in a position to buy one.

They strike me as a faster version of an M, but with no safety net! Enjoy. :driving:

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone 🙏 feel immensely fortunate to have been able to do it at all, and still pinching myself it’s sat in my garage…

So I paid £33k, and the way I’ve seen it that’s entry level 996 turbo coupe manual territory… but where one of those will be frankly shonky at that price, this is concours and has every bill since the sales order brand new. The incredible last owner of nine years has given me concours awards he’s won, along with a few other cherries on top too, so at this price point I’m incredibly happy with my choice; I never really was a Porsche guy to be honest (no offence to anyone who is, beautiful cars in their own right). This thing though, I’m properly in love with 😂

Also, might end up making no difference at all, but it never went to ‘merica which I never realised..: so it might be the best decision I ever made 🤞
