If its the one at Fernhurst your talking about then I'm the guilty person who bought the Purple Cerbera 450.
It's a beauty! Just traded in my Mitsubishi 3000gt for it.
I've wanted one just like this for many years so now a very happy man.

Thanks

C.

You must be deaf in one ear and only hearing one side firing up!

Ah the one ear deathness syndrome, normally the right one AFAIK, happens every time a cerb goes past

No L1 OFF lives to fight another day on the Griff when the DVLA get their finger out. Or I could ask Mike as he seems to be getting a collection of numbers now

Alan - did you trade the Cerbie for a Griff? I saw the Cerbie on Fernies web site and it looked great, even made some intial enquiries.

I'm actually thinking of doing the reverse - trading my Griff for a Cerbie and wondered what your thoughts were re the two having experienced both.

One thing I'm interested in is the clearances - I live down a lane where it is an arse to get the Griff over some bumps - is the Cerbie better/worse?

Yes I did trade the cerb for the Griff 500 SE, they are totally different cars in "personality" the cerb is faster, more aggresive and has the WOW factor. The griff on the other hand is nicer to drive on B roads and crappy road surfaces, I have also noticed cars actually pull over to let the griff overtake and that never happened in the cerb. I love them both, but just wanted the open top and the sound of the rover V8.
Would I have another cerb?, Yes and I wanted the purple one back when I saw it today!!
