I was just wondering which version you liked best. I thought the 4.5 was MUCH better looking...

I think the 4.5 is a beautiful car. I don't like the new headlights at all. I prefer the older single units. They look bigger than they really are, but once you get near one... ohhh.. nice. I'm buying one once I'm through university. The speed 12 looks. A little to mean for my tastes. As a daily driver, I like the clean styling of the 4.5, the understated elegance.\

4.5 is really nice , but i would really concider the speed six , althought it's weeker , the 6cyl engines from TVR are more sporty than the V8s which aren't that nice from what i've heard ... too bad there are so much problems to get one with LHD

The 6 cylinder makes nearly as much power as the 4.2 anyways. In a car this light, it doesn't matter all that much. I read at the New York Times website that TVR is beginning to import LHD models to the US either next year or for 2004. So far, all I've heard about are Tuscans and Tamoras, but it can't be hard to get a Cerbera of any kind through their new dealers.

You wouldn't happen to have the url to the website where you read that would you? I hope they import them. I realllllly hope they do....

I read that on the nytimes website, I'm not sure of the article. It was about the TVRs in Swordfish, and talked a bit about importing them. Then again, I haven't heard anything else about it, so it's probably a wash.

I want a Cerbera

A lot of people know TVR due to that film. It was actually a good idea, because instead of some Dodge Viper, they used something more unusual end exotic.

Ha, I loved TVRs well before that movie came out! In fact, I loved TVR before I knew they made cars after the 60s! I like the original Griffiths, and I was surprised when I was playing Gran Turismo and it had TVR in it! They had a Griffith and I said, that's not a Griffith! Then I read the little history bio thing, and got on the internet

To cut a long story short, sell your Jag, JSB88, there is no excuse to own a Jag when you don't own a Cerbera... unless you're concerned with the ride, in which case, WTF, you own a 340! Why would you care about ride quality?
