Looking forward to this one. It'll be interesting to see how bad the bargain ones are.
Always fancied a Cerbera.

Really good episode. I'm not into TVRs tbh, but this episode has done nothing to help my kitcar itch!

Safe to say they are pretty bad

What a lovely looking car they are. Is it just me that thinks they sound a bit odd for a V8? Not as nice a noise as other V8's... bit of a boy racer big bore exhaust noise? Least that's what the one last night sounded like to me

That's because it's a flatplane V8 not a crossplane one, more like a Ferrari than a Chevy

I'm really not getting TVR aesthetics, I feel like my credentials as a petrol head get torn up when I say such a thing though

I appreciate the radical design, but it just looks like a load of curves to me with cheap components rammed in such as the headlights, wheels, dial clusters, steering wheel, etc.

A Ferrari V8 still manages to sound awesome though?

The AJP V8 in the Cerbera is one of the best sounding engines on the planet imo.

i couldn't believe that such bodge-jobbers.

gloss black wheels didn't suit it really. a nice anthracite would've been better.

i absoluely love cerbera's, especially the ones with the morette style headlamps. a guy in work used to have a dark purple one as a daily. it was amazing
