Cerbera & Griffith Goodwood FoS

[Stick Legs]

I stupidly didn’t take a pictures of the very lovely TVR Cerbera in Performance Parking West at Friday’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

My own Griffith was on Performance Parking East.

As far as I’m aware the only 2 TVR’s there.

Found a pic.

That mb 190 looks also very nice

It really was.

One of my favourite things about Goodwood is the effort that people put into bringing their own toys out, even if they get covered in dust.

I left the hood down on my Griffith, in the knowledge that it was unlikely to be messed with, and if you really wanted to steal a glasses case & some cassette tapes then you are a sad case.

There was a Tuscan in Car Park B also.. Didn't get a pic, however.

Is the Griffith just trailered to keep it concours? Is that what Goodwood expects? It hardly does any miles between MOTS.

It was barely used before my ownership.

I purchased it in December’24 & have done nearly 3000 miles this year.

There’s a Reader’s Cars thread here if you are interested:

It's an interesting story. I did like the - it ran out of petrol when being serviced. It really did have a miser as a previous owner!

The photos are interesting - some amazing scenery. It looks like a child's pedal car next to your Range Rover. The exterior colour is a bit drab in some photos. TVR's generally suit something a bit more exciting. It looks dated now from the front, viewed from straight on. Better from an angle. The back view is totally classic.

You should buy a Pioneer KEH 2400R when one comes up on ebay. That's what the factory fitted in 1996. If you ever want to sell it as totally standard, there is your attention to detail.

Thanks for the comments, living near Exmoor is a privilege with a car like this!

I will absolutely be putting a Pioneer in one day.

The Stardust Silver really pops when freshly waxed & the sun is on it, but yes it’s not your usual TVR fayre colour wise.

I was there in my Chimaera on the Thursday, gave it a good wash, polish and ceramic coating Wednesday to come back to it covered in dust Thursday afternoon lol
