Buyer’s notes

About the TVR Cerbera 4.5

The Cerbera, built from 1996, was a 2+2 coupé powered by TVR’s own flat-plane-crank AJP8 V8; the 4.5-litre was the larger of its two V8s.

What moves the price

  • Chassis condition.
  • Engine history: the AJP8 had development problems, so its records matter.
  • Service history: a full one is the norm for a good TVR.

Before you buy, check

  • The outrigger behind the front wheel arch, a mud trap, and the tubes behind the sills for pinholes.
  • The clutch: a very heavy pedal often means the diaphragm spring has failed.
  • Electrics, water getting in, and clunks from the differential and suspension.
