Outwardly the Cerbera may look
like a hardtop Chimaera with room for the family but it’s a very different car and one which shows
the more mature side of TVR. |

power the firebreathing 5.0litre in the Griffith by 10bhp without the aid of four valves per cylinder or trick induction system. There’s so much usable power on tap that the Cerbera can outaccelerate any production Porsche or Ferrari: not bad for a car which comes in at less than £40,000. It’s more composed and capable around corners than any other TVR too with a ride which is firm but never harsh though it’s undeniably stiff around town. The driving position is close to perfect considering the seat height is fixed and the steering wheel moves only vertically. The front seats are comfortable and supportive but the rears are suitable for small children only. The instrumentation is more picturesque than practical. The main dials look gorgeous but they’re difficult to read. However the position of the fuel readout and clock under the steering wheel is undeniably effective. Build is patchy but panel fit is good. It’s the most practical of all TVRs without denying you the thrills that are an essential part of ownership. And at that price it’s in a league of its own. | |||
