Not really.. More like a Cerb humped a Beetle, and produced something that has some resemblance to a TT..

I like it - horses for courses and all that!!

[Incognegro]

It sold for close to £40k IIRC the wheels have to be that size or they would look swallowed by the arches. I really like what had been done to the rear diffuser area.

It looks a dog's dinner in my opinion. Respect is due to the owner for putting in so much time and in particular money, but to me it takes a true thoroughbred English sports car and bastardises it. The original design was low, long and lithe, sleek but aggressive, bold but not contrived. This takes that original design and butchers it with cartoon arches and drug dealer wheels, all in the meantime throwing away what was always the USP of the Cerbera and throwing it away for a tuned crate engine. I'm sure it's a lot quicker than even the most fettled AJP powered Cerbera, but then so is an Ultima if one wanted a kit car with a Yank engine.

It sold for 28k, and it was a cat C write off so at least it was saved from a certain tvr breaker.
The engine in question was a 5.7 so it wasn't more powerful but was easier to use in daily driving as was the 6 speed gearbox which again was easier to use in daily driving.example:
Some people like the mk1 lights some people like the tuscan style lights and each side slates the other side for doing so, so if an owner decides to make his car his own by adding his own style then I see no issue as most body parts are available to put back to original if the next owner wishes to do so.
Some people have worthless opinions instead of advise.
Don't shoot me down but I don't recall the original thread asking for the styling comments of the said car but ' does anyone know this cerbera'

Mini rant over please help your self to the popcorn

Nicely said.

That is one car that I would quite like owning.

Well done to the previous owner, it looks like a professional job from the pictures.

Anyone got a link to the build thread?

Just search cerbera, arches and you will find it

[Incognegro]

Very well said and £28k sell (I was thinking £38?) like stated a saved car and perfect ont to customise... as it came from near dead even more points in my book

[Poopdog]

I bid 22k when it was on eBay and was shot down a day later!!!!, think there was a few bidders too

So it looks like that and is less powerful than a standard Cerb..

I clicked on that link to the Cerberas for sale page and was quite surprised to see Mole valley appear to be selling my car or at least using a photo of my car on their ad,

Why not a photo of the actual car they are selling?

Especially when they have sold you short Martin... Thats only a 4.2 they are selling

Probably not perfectly balanced like yours either

[Mr Cerbera]

You know I was trying to come out with something like

ENUFF !

but
I do love the way that Cerb owners are so passionate about their's (and everyone else's) examples that the simplest of post comments can create such strong reaction.

So, instead, I say

MORE !

If you do a Google image search for "st Cerbera" a picture of this car is the first result...

[Poopdog]

Bit harsh

[Ahbefive]

Harsh but true. It's the 1st image.

So it is, the nice thing however, is that my car does not feature on that page at all:-)
