This is a normal post My dads cerbera is still,
the most enjoyable car I've ever been in.

Even counting my mental turbonutter cars in the 90s

This is a normal post I looked at a few Cerberas before deciding on going topless.
They are scary quick though!

This is a normal post I know there are quicker cars,
but me and my old man out for a drive up a mountain/hill thing and the acceleration and power, even going up, was just amazing.
It never seemed to have no power, in whatever gear. I would have one tomorrow.

This is a normal post 'Chim'

Coincidence?

This is a normal post hah!
I always though it meat 'Bird' oh well - in this case it's just short for Chimaera.

This is a normal post Oh my!
Yup, love the Brit V8s. Even if half of 'em have a well deserved rep.
Tigers, Stags, Interceptors, P5s, P6s, (and all those with the Rover/Buick lump) TVRs seemed to be pretty common 20 years ago, could always hear them before you saw 'em. The guy who bought what's left of the company is certainly taking his time about doing anything with it.

I'm assuming thats sarcasm?

They will never get going again, sadly.
I know they reckon they will, but they wont :(

This is a normal post As recently as March this year
Les Edgar (The new owner, who also has the old molds and jigs) made an announcment he will be returning TVR to Le Mans 24 - in order to prove the reliability of the new cars.

He has also given Clever Trevor (now TVR Parts Ltd) the status of "Sole Authorised"

So something is rumbling.

This is a normal post \o/
Now, if I don't spend any money on anything for the next 15 years, I might be able to buy one.
