Tuscan or Cerby
Discussion
Right guys help me out...!!
I'll hopefully be in the market for either a Tuscan or a Cerby this spring. I need your advice and guidance. Everything I read makes me nervous in terms of reliability etc...!!
But lets start with the options:
Its a 4.2 or 4.5 cerby vs a Tuscan (3.6 or 4.0s)
Any thoughts?

Michael it is a personal choice they are both very enjoyable cars it depends what you want and what you like in each model, reliability is as good as any performance car.The Tuscan and the Cerbera are totally different you would enjoy either car we have a good service support from Torqueflyte Engineering in Ballygowan, why not come to one of our TVR club meetings at La Mon House Hotel and we could arrange to get you out in both cars on one of the club runs or track days in the passenger seat of course.

As Robert states they are totally different cars. If I were going for a car you can drive every day then the Tuscan is my choice, but if its a now and again then a 4.5 Cerbera is the monkeys nuts with a very achievable 400bhp with induction mods a remap in a 1000kg car. However the Cerbera is by nature a more expensive beast to keep on the road particularly if you get a bad one.
The speed six engine issues should be ironed out on most cars, but if you get an early Tuscan then one with an 05 spec or later rebuild should give you trouble free motoring. Even if the bodywork is gleaming then the chassis needs careful attention from the purchaser as they benefit significantly from being garaged. Its even worth considering a T350 or Tamora as they are now getting in your price bracket - but be warned a £6k Cerbera will probably cost you another £6k over the next year. There is nothing worse than buying a car and not being able to afford to fix it. So a dealer option with a years comprehensive warranty can sometimes be the more economical route in the long run. If your into this route then Tony at Hexham Horseless Carriages will help - a lot of cars in Ireland have come through there. Good luck in your search and as Robert states the club is happy to help if and where possible.
