Would you have to be totally insane to buy one? You can get them for around 12k nowadays I just noticed browsing autotrader. Mega money pit?
Always had a thing for them, look and sound fantastic.
I'm not wanting to buy one just thought I'd start a thread about them

They are renound for breaking down a lot, but you do get a whole lot of car for your money.
Quite nice looking too, and the interior is a bit nuts.

My uncle has a Chimera which is pretty much the same car I think. His is always breaking down too.

The speed six are notorious for needing rebuilds; i looked at the cerbra before i went for the chimera and was adviced the chimera was a better starter TVR and the v8 is fairly reliable and as long as its clean underneath it shouldnt be too bad

I have the prerequisite. 
No dough though.
Want a black 4.5 with the early lights and the big Speedlines and either black or Parchment/Magnolia leather.

My mate bought a T350 when he was 23/24, only used as a toy and for showing off, it makes such a nice sound though!

bloke at work owns a cerbera. awesome car. it's immaculate and sounds lovely.
he's spent loads on his though, always fixing stuff.
it's purple with black wheels and cream interior. goes up to the pod quite a bit.
