Looking to buy tvr i have driven a cerbera but not the others, what would you guys say is the best bet for around 20-25k, pros and cons of ownership, it would be 2nd car.

depends on a few things really. the cerbie is generally higher maintenance because it is a race derived engine, whereas the rover engined ones aren't quite as stressed. looks wise are a personal thing and driving wise it depends on your style, the griff/chims are imho more useable day to day in the real world as you don't have to rev the nuts of them to really be flying, unless you want to do track days where the cerb is awesome.
noise wise you can't beat a rover v8 in a tvr (especially with baffles removed)

Chris,

The right car is the one you fall in love with. Cerbs give more bang per buck, but you need more bucks. Griff / Chimp are similar running costs, but its down to what you love.

Follow your passion, as we all followed ours.
