1998 TVR CERBERA 4.5 - 18,925 MILES

KEY FACTS

• An excellent, low-mileage example of the outlandish British sports car, which benefits from desirable performance modifications and is presented in fantastic overall condition.
• Under the bonnet is the snarling 4.5-litre ‘Speed Eight’ V8, producing 420bhp and 380lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
• Believed to be one of fewer than 600 Cerberas currently on the road in the UK.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Moonraker Black with a Magnolia and Biscuit two-tone leather interior, this Cerbera rides on the correct set of 17-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels, which are in great shape.
• Performance is enhanced via a Whirlwind induction kit with blue inlet hoses and an aftermarket ECU, as well as a ‘de-cat’ large bore exhaust system.
• The car will be accompanied by its correct owner’s handbook and stamped service book, as well as documentation of its service history.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• Believed to be the original finish, the Moonraker Black paintwork is in great shape, with some minor age-related stone chips around the car but no significant marks or damage to speak of.
• Inside, the swooping, driver-focused cabin is in very good condition, with some general light wear to the two-tone leather upholstery in line with the car’s use.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 15 September 2020 at 18,597 miles, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Cerbera’s most recent routine maintenance was a full service, which was carried out at 18,500 miles by Universal Classic Cars in Hampshire.
• Prior to this, marque specialist TVR Ecosse performed an oil change and replaced the spark plugs in June 2020, and also serviced the car in September 2019.

SUMMARY
