As a Brit I've seen more of these but they're always magical, stunning cars made by nutters for nutters and I swear I will own one in the next 3 years!
Looks easy to work on and I like that the air conditioner compressor is right on the top. I was not ready for it to sound like it did vs a standard 8-cylinder.
I owned two of these back in the day. A red 4.2 that I then traded up to a Dodge Viper blue 4.5 one and ran that for a number of years. I took it to Le Mans a few times with friends, and it never missed a beat, depite a lot of people telling me it would fall to bits. It's one of those cars that I deeply regret selling and always look at in the classifieds when the wife lets me!!!! One day..... 😁😁
I don’t recall the Cerbera having any handling deficit in Gran Turismo - maybe it’s how I drove it, or tuned the suspension. I just remember thinking it was sexy looking and sounded good, therefore was a frequent favorite. ☺️
The Jaguar joke was quite appropriate, as I myself have always thought the Cerbera could easily have been a Jaguar design of the period, inside and out, but a show car. The lines are so low and sensuous. That there appears to be some interest in supporting these cars in the US has reignited my ambition to have one.
All TVR's are called Blackpool Rock. And the 'Widow Maker' 'is the TVR Tuscan , I own one like John Tavolta (who got one after he made the Movie 'Swordfish' . The 'Death Sledge is the TVR Griffith' . so get your facts right my Yank Cousins 😆😆. Jeremy descibed the Cerbera as something that could create it's own weather !. Awesome car !!
Actually Colin they did get their facts right and the Cerbera was called the Blackpool Rocket.... th-cam.com/video/XGATSb54YEQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mKXoG513Rwlxasnv My Cerbera 4.5 was driven by Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert for Sky F1. 😉
@@WDLRacingThe Tuscan was included in the top 100 cars of all time described by Top Gear as 'something dropped off the bottom of a UFO '. It was described as' when approaching a tight bend flat out in the wet turned men into Schoolboys and their Wife's into Widows !!😂😂
@@WDLRacing was lucky enough to drive one a few years ago, sadly not for very long and not in anger. Missed that boat. That flat plane crank AJPV8 is immense. The throttle response and the travel….ahh it’s bloody addictive
To be fair, a miserable old sausage over the road from me thought my Cerb was a Jag... He drives a clapped out Red Daewoo Matiz....💨 🤷🏻♂️🫤😂 "I used to have a Jag just like that" Yup, sure you did... 😅
Great video, thank you. My dad worked at TVR, amazing cars and they still look futuristic today. Enjoy your car

GT king for sure! Can’t tell you how many hours of GT I played building the TRV. True monster of a car!

@@WDLRacing yes! Funny thing was they were straight line monsters in the game but didn’t turn well! 😂

Really liking this series.
It was a tester for some new hardware... might resurface after some tweaking
Oh hey this was the same TVR that was at the Hot Wheels Tour in Gilbert this past weekend :-)
Indeed
Friend of mine he has got a TVR Cerbera, very choice car indeed.
A very cool machine!

In fond memory of the many speed limits that died during the making of this video.
Speed suggestions?
You cut it off before he tries to open the door and can't find the door release.🙂
Haha the button is tricky
This is graf Dracula car.
I own a TVR Griffith 500HC.
It's only got a lowly 5.0 V8. Lol..
and it's really heavy at just over 1000kg
@@wullaballoo2642 lighter than a mini Cooper. Lol.
TVR Cerbera isn’t a car for talking, just driving hard and hearing everything
Man do they sound great 👍

I once had a 1999 4.5 V8 it was a little of fun but super unreliable, but when you have one in your life it’s worth the hassle
Great car they unfortunately is very fragile.
Indeed!
jag-wire? seriously?
LOL gotta through a good Jag joke in there with every TVR :)
"Jag You Are ". Americans never pronounce it properly lol 😅
It even says translate to English under your comment! 🤣🤣🤣

Is that a Jagwire?
