Mine came on black wheels but I had them redone in anthracite for that reason - did not want a full stealth look. The wheels along with the red calipers really set it off now ;-)

Yep has the red calipers as well!

Out of interest, how much did that cost? (If you don't mind me asking).

Gents I could not disagree more... I love the chrome accents...I think it is perfect absolutely stock..

You've done the same as me with the black waistline.. I was first!!( well I had it done June 2013?)

Yes but you forgot the handles which IMHO look a little weird sticking out in chrome

On a serious note why did you not get the handles done? I had the rear boot strip blacked out too and the rear end looks much nicer too!

Ha ha!
I was concerned it may start to look a little slab sided,and/or stealthy,( bit like me !) so just went for the waistline ( bit like me!).

I think it was around £300 via the dealer.

I know that it's mission creep but you should be able to get into a new car for not much over £80k.

Good man. That's a lovely looking combo, blue with cream leather.
BTW, and completely off topic, full respect on the double-TVR Cerbera history. Always wanted one of those, had a couple of hair raising test drives, but never quite plucked up the courage to buy one. My loss, I suspect. Enjoy the Maserati.

Jon congratulations on your purchase a stunning choice - when are you collecting her

Fellow ex Cerbie owner eh?
Many congrats , welcome to the mega smiles per mile club.

Being delivered Friday afternoon. Haven't even seen it yet! Did it over the phone.

Loved my cerberas, one was one of two made with a 4700cc engine from a Tuscan race car. One was a press car and mine was made for a mate of peter wheeler. The reg original to the car was r200 hot as it was 200cc hotter than a normal cerbera

Put my deposit on at the motor show in '94, wouldn't mind but I already had a 500 on order for delivery jan 95!.Waited til early '97 to take delivery so they could iron out some of the bugs. My claim to fame is that according to Dorothy Cureton I was the bloke who persuaded Wheeler to make Pearl Rosso a production colour !!!

Here is my old cerbie

Hell of a special car for that money. One little tip, always try and keep the battery on trickle if you can , you'd be amazed how quick it can drain and throw up no end of erroneous messages( not serious but bloody annoying and inconvenient !).

Agree with that, CTEK well worth the money with a GranTurismo. Enjoy the car.

[Jonny TVR]

I was thinking that too .. Remember TVRs were the same

Good price after the discount. I see it has MC Sportline sill plates. Wonder, therefore, which of the three suspension options it has?

Anti lift device? Mistake I think.

[Jonny TVR]

Can you trickle charge via the cig lighter socket like on TVRs?
