The Cerbera was introduced at the 1993 London Motor Show and was TVR’s first 2+2 as well as their first car powered by an in-house engine design. The fiberglass bodywork of this example was refinished in metallic light green following the installation of Mk2-style head and taillights. Additional exterior details include fog lights, side marker lights, power mirrors, a heated rear window, and dual exhaust outlets with polished tips. The rear “Cerbera 4.5” badge is incorrect, the left windshield wiper is missing a cosmetic cover, the driver’s door button must be pressed twice to open the door. Close-up photos of flaws in the right taillight, paint, windshield, and carbon-fiber trim are presented in the gallery.
Silver 18″ wheels feature TVR center caps and wear 225/35 front and 255/35 rear Toyo Proxes tires. The suspension is fully independent and braking is handled by green-finished AP Racing calipers and cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The Cerbera was not offered with an anti-lock brake system or traction control. Service in September 2022 included flushing the brake fluid and replacing the front brake pads and front and rear sway bar end links. The seller states that a fluid leak is visible under the front of the car.
The right-hand drive 2+2 cabin features front and rear bucket seats trimmed in green leather along with a two-tone dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include power windows, power mirrors, and a Sony CD player. The seller states the speaker grilles are cracked, the driver seat shows signs of wear, and stains are present in the leather and carpet.
The two-spoke multifunction steering wheel frames a 220-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and a combination gauge for oil pressure and coolant temperature. A clock and fuel-level gauge flank an air vent below the steering wheel hub. The six-digit odometer shows 69k miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the seller. The knob of the steering wheel air vent is broken and replacement steering wheel button decals are included with the sale.
The 4.2-liter AJP8 “Speed Eight” V8 was developed and built in-house by TVR and it features all-alloy construction, a 75° bank angle, and a flat-plane crankshaft. Factory-rated output was 360 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. An engine-out service in September 2022 consisted of rebuilding or replacing the following components:
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a BorgWarner five-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that an ACT header-back exhaust system with high-flow catalytic converters is fitted and that the frame was zinc-coated before being painted green.
