Hi all.

Since seeing that Clarkson video at the age of 6/7, I've yearned for a TVR, particularly the Cerbera. Well, here she is. My first TVR, and I thought that throwing myself in at the deep end with an AJP8 engined Cerbera would be the best port of call. She's Pearl Blue with Wedgewood Blue leather and Navy Blue wool carpets.

Jobs to do - Glue the bonnet stay back on, glue the speaker covers back on, put the passenger side of the dash back on, glue various bits of carpet back on, investigate non-autodropping driver's window, get some new numberplate screws with caps for pedancy, and enjoy driving it!

ETA - The private plate came with the car, hence the funny spacing at the front. Nothing to do with me! smile

what a start to TVR ownership!
ignore all the ney-sayers. it will rape your wallet, and leave you grinning like a loon in equal measure.
good luck!

No mrtwisty, must've been someone else. I have been using it rather a lot though. Making ridiculous excuses to go out somewhere and then rolling back home several hours later is quickly becoming commonplace! Expensive at 15mpg, but completely worth it. biggrin

Buy one! The build quality probably won't be what you're used to, but boy oh boy the engine and soundtrack make up for that! Virtually every passenger has left the car shaking, and that's not even through driving it hard. Its just an all-out attack on the senses, truly wonderful.

Not sure about seeing it in the metal Leigh, maybe in the plastic one day though. wink

I still can't believe she's mine! Seems like the car is happy to remind me of that fact too, as well as the rest of the neighbourhood with 1am spurts of alarm siren!

Dave, feel free to pop round whenever you wish. I'd like to hear the singing Alfa V6 again! Lee, thanks very much for the kind comments. I do like the colour, yours looks very much like my all time favourite Cerbera colour, Atlantis Halycon?
