Hi Everyone

Just to give you all a sneak preview of a very special Cerbera returning to the road very soon.

After 14 months of extensive upgrade & refurb work this well known car is almost ready to burn rubber there's just the small detail of having to run it's 4.7 litre AJP engine in.

Enjoy...........








Regards
Simon

In Pearl Blue with single headlamps, that would be motoring perfection!

Really liking this! I had that colour combo in mind for the new 12, but thought it might clash with the red one. I might need to have a re-think. Very, very nice!

A special cerb 'returning' to the road...? Was it already special or is now special?
I am liking the matt paint on the air boxes and the seats/seat backs. Might have to borrow those ideas - my air boxes need painting and I was thinking about colour coding seat backs.
Wheels, front spoiler and power bulge aren't too my taste but am loving the overall effect.

Very nice indeed

Any insight on how the 4.7 performs on the road compared to the 4.2 / 4.5 ?

The car has always been special to John, the owner, as he's owned it for around 13yrs.

I was trying to say it's even more special now mainly because of it's new powerplant and it being a road car.

The air boxes, wing mirrors, windscreen and rear screen trims are actually satin black and contrast the pearlescent orange very nicely.

Simon

I think your new 12 would look great in this colour combination.

I'm not a huge fan of modified cars but that does look fantastic. So much better than the last set of photos posted. It also looks very modern. More pics of the interior please smile
