About this car

This 1998 TVR Cerbera 4.2 is finished in Cureton Green with an ivory hide interior and green carpets, and shows 39,000 miles. The Cerbera pairs a short-wheelbase, rear-drive chassis with TVR's own V8, and this car is set up in the raw way the model is known for.

It has been through a long restoration. An earlier body-off job from the 2010s was judged below standard, so the body was lifted off again in 2022 and the chassis blasted, with new outriggers, then zinc primed and powder coated along with the wishbones and brackets. Bushes, brake and fuel lines, drop links, ball joints, track rod ends, exhaust mounts and oil hoses were all replaced. The top end was checked with valve clearances adjusted, the gearbox was opened and inspected, and the Öhlins dampers were refurbished.

It passed its MOT in November 2025 with no issues and has covered around 400 miles since. Other fitted items include Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres, new carpets, an Optima battery, a throttle pot upgrade, a new windscreen, refurbished wheels and paint protection film on the front end. It is currently decatted, with the catalytic converters supplied, and comes with an upgraded brake setup, a Silverstone Performance rear silencer, a set of SP2 alloys and ACT silicone hoses.
