Cerbera Sourcing & Pre Purchase Inspections

Cerbera Sourcing:

I can source your perfect TVR matching your own individual criteria, service it and prepare to the highest standards, fully valet the car and deliver it to your door.

Cerbera Pre Purchase Inspections:

For buyers of performance and prestige vehicles our bespoke pre purchase inspections are designed to save heart ache & money. By identifying potential costly faults, our clients are in a much stronger position to negotiate on the deal. Often the cost of our inspection is more than offset by the money saved.

All the Inspections are carried out by myself Stephen Wallinger. I have over 10 years TVR main dealer technical experience.I am now working independantly, in association with Trackvroad of Clitheroe.

Our inspections include a fully detailed 12 page typed report, free history check, and a cd with photos of our inspection.
