TVR’s naming policy was as eclectic as its cars. Many were named after mythical beasts; Siamese monsters that often breathed fire. But I’m a man of nature. I love the Cerbera. It’s pretty and organic, like the tree that bears its name, but like the tree, it also had a toxicity that you had to watch. It had an edge. That’s why, for me, it was the pinnacle of the marque.
The Sagaris stuck with TVR’s spaceframe chassis cloaked by a lightweight, fibreglass body, which meant a kerb weight of just 1,078kg. But Boardman widened the front and rear tracks to give it better stability and insisted on the highest-quality components. Like Bilstein dampers, which he made sure weren’t just there to look the part – they were properly tuned to extract the best from them.
Speaking of the motoring press, this one is the actual car that did the rounds at the time. The press car that TVR loaned to titles like Autocar, Evo and Top Gear. You can look it up on YouTube and watch Jeremy Clarkson hooning round Dunsfold back in 2005. In a cloud of tyre smoke, which brings me on to my next point. Should you buy an ex-press car? Err, well, they’re not the cars I would generally seek out.
Going by TVR's reputation at that time this example probably has twice the bhp of all the others.
