The Cerbera's name is derived from Cerberus, the three-headed beast that was said to guard the entrance to Hades. Introduced in 1996, the model was the first Peter Wheeler-era TVR to feature the following: fixed head coachwork, 2+2-seating and in-house engines. Designed by race engineer Al Melling and inspired by contemporary Formula One practice, the new AJP8 'Speed Eight' V8 initially displaced 4.2-litres but later grew to 4.5 and 4.7-litres (a 4-litre in-line 'Speed Six' derivative was subsequently offered too). A ferocious performer, the Cerbera 4.2 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and 180mph with its more powerful siblings proving faster still.

The TVR Cerbera offered here is finished in Plum Metallic paintwork with a Grey leather interior. Supplied new on the 23rd of December 1998, by TVR agents Hexham Horseless Carriages, this 450 example has servicing entries with them at 1190 miles (2/1999), 4116 miles (6/1999), 12092 miles (9/2000), 18202 miles (10/2001), 23766 miles (2/2004), 30198 miles (3/2005) and an entry stamp with an independent garage on the 36,000 miles service page. There is a file of receipts that displays some fettling of the car's 'brain' with the ECU being replaced in 2015 at 37,118 miles.

Powers Performance fitted the new MBE ECU along with a Dallas ECU chip with an invoice on file for some £800. Additional work around 2015 included the purchase of a Racetech Direct seat belt kit, a washer jet kit and a Pipercross performance air filter. There is also a £300 receipt on file for a TVR compatible Thatcham Cat 1 alarm system, along with sundry receipts that show the purchase of a battery, coil, horn and brake shoes among other items. More recently, a fuel filter was bought for the Cerbera in 2022. This Cerbera 450 is offered with the TVR owner's handbook and integral service record. Currently displaying 37,200 miles and having 4 former keepers the TVR is offered with a current MOT certificate into April 2024.
