Hello - that's my first contact to this forum. I am a German freelance motoring photojournalist and would really like to get in contact with owners of a Cerbera
Shooting Brake. Where can I find such a car, detailed
infos and a technical description of it? There is no commercial interest in that, just following my passion for exclusiv Shooting Btakes. I'm at your service if you need something from Germany.

Helmut,

What do you mean by "shooting brake" I think it's lost something in the translation. Do you mean Coupe?

Cheers, Steve

P.S. All specs can be found at www.tvr-eng.co.uk/tvr.htm which is the offical factory web page.

If i am not mistaken a 'Shooting Brake' is another name for an estate along with traveller, countryman etc. I remember seeing a 944 conversion to a shooting brake many years ago in 911 & Porsche Worls mag and it appears to be a bit of a thing for German enthusiasts. Personally, with the exception of the Alfa 156 Shooting Brake I say NOOOOO!

It is obvious why I haven't seen one of these - what an ugly car!

this one seems to reappear at least once a year. Think Ted was rather over enthusiastic with Photoshop!

Jeez, Let's hope it's only a photoshop creation. BURN IT!

Ted is simply a master with Photoshop !

He "exclusived" the T350C before TVR had even built the car ! www.pistonheads.com/tvr/default.asp?storyId=5336

That was my understanding... seem to recal Aston Martin did one a few years back... world's fastest production estate... ahem, shooting brake.

classicsincamera : The Cerbera Shooting Brake doesn't exist ! It was a bit of fun done by someone in Photoshop, and was done just before a motorshow as a "possible" new car to be made by TVR (TVR had nothing to do with the pics)...

Now a Cerbera with a T400R roof line would be quite of a beautiful beast!

Anyone mastering photoshop/any other software bother making one?!
