theres a pearlescent white griff for sale on autotrader at present - is that it

Nope. The press car was an M reg.

There are a few other pearlescent white cars around but they have never been able to match the colour of Dads even though they are using the same measurements. All he others have come out a brighter white.

Got the video in the mail today, excellent service and thanks again to Gareth.

For those that have not seen it, the Cerbera was in a
staged one mile straight race and the results were
as follows:

1) Cerbera 4.2 31:20 seconds
2) Porsche 911 32:50 seconds
3) Lotus Esprit 33:30 seconds
4) Aston Martin Vantage 34:80 seconds
5) Caterham 35:50 seconds
6) Dodge Viper 35:70 seconds

Other 'production' cars were invited but either declined or were beaten in previous heats.

So in the shows opinion, the Cerbera was the fastest
'production' car ever.

Excellent

Cerbera2004 said: Just been emailed to say it is listed as a 4.198 cc on the registry. Thanks anon for that

So were 4.5's up until 1998, as they hadn't had the 4.5 engine approved until then. Mine had it on the V5, and I ended up calling the factory to check that I hadn't been sold a wrong un (although the car was new, so it would have been TVR or the dealer that had pulled a fast one).
