Right now they are not importing to the US, which is a shame. They have been talking about returning to the US market for the last 5 years or so. There are plans for selling the Tamora and Tuscan, and probably the Cerbera as well. I believe the Tamora was originaly designed with the North American market in mind.

If TVR starts selling in the states again, this means you can get an older Cerbera from continental Europe in LHD, and register it as a new model year Cerbera, as in a 2003 or 2004 model.. devious, illegal, but possible. It was done quite a bit with Maseratis, they took European models, and registered them as imaginary older US models.

As for the bike, you do 220mph on a track with a very nice smooth surface, on a calm day with no wind.

the main reason TVR's arent imported to the US is because the boss of TVR says he wants to make cars that he wants to make, and not have to build cars to US requirments and demands. There are so many of them around in the UK that TVR doesnt need to export to the USA to keep going, although i think they probably will eventually. I think most people in the UK get to see a TVR on most days!!!I sure do!

TVR's are a pretty common sight where i live as well. I think the only people who would seriously buy, and be able to keep and afford a speed 12 are those who have the dehumidified storage garage, and about 60 factory miles on the car

yes it was. none of the cars were restricted (on trade day at least), except the Enzo, the MG and the Continental GT. you could sit in them all

unfortunately not. with it being a race car you were allowed to touch it look right inside etc. but to allow every1 to sit in it would take forever to get them in and out. the cerbera alone is hard enough

Yeah, it would take a year and a half, but damn, it would sooo be worth the wait.

In that time you could probably spend all your time working, in supermarkets, your real job, club bouncer at night, and you could afford one!
