New Cerbera Owner - Hello

[Montauge]

Hi all,
Thought it would be polite to introduce myself before I put up a post asking for some tech advice.
I left the UK (York) permanently, 12 years ago, to Iive in the Bordeaux region of France. At that point I sold my beloved V8S to help fund our project out here (we run a tour operating business).
After many years of pretty much not even seeing any TVR's I'm pleased to say I'm now back in the fold. This time with a 2002 Cerbera 4.5
I bought it in July 2014 and it is now French registered and frightening the locals.
Since then I have taken it on 5 track days to Nogaro (more about what the 35degree air temp did to it in my post to follow!) and providing things go ok within the next week I will be bringing it back to the UK in 12 days time for the Millbrook day.
Anyhow I'm pleased to see so many of you on here with similar cars and I hope that in time I will be able to give back advice as well as seek it (which I guess I will mostly eve doing in the early days).
Regards, John.

Thanks. I thought I had loaded up 3 photos but can only see one here (new to this chat molarchy). Here is another I thought I had uploaded - a recent visit to Nogaro.

Hi John and welcome to PH. Did we not chat on the French TVR Car Club site ?

Yes indeed we did Greg. Are you in the UK or France now? If you are in Berkshire on Tuesday 21st July I will hopefully be trying to get to the Berkshire TVRCC meet as I'll be back for the Millbrook day (assuming I replace my clutch before then!!)

Wow, I like that colour, stunning car.

I'm in France (Normandy) until October, then heading further south near Bourges where we will settle for the foreseable future (bought a house).

I'm likely to be in California 20-24th July, although still up in the air, if I'm not going I may be in Berkshire that week for work, so the TVR meet up is a possibility.

Hi guys

Also in France (Normandy) but soon to relocate to the Bergerac area. I have a Cerbera 4.5, a Tuscan RR and a Chimaera 450.

Great to see a few other TVR's in France!

Congratulations on buying her and getting her registered John

Glad to see that Cerbs are (slowly) taking over the Continent
