Did you leave a fag butt in the ashtray , childish I know but..................

Don't know if you've driven any others to tell if it was 'tweaked' or not . Saw him nearly reverse it into the 'TVR100' T350 press car at Le Mans, very nice machine.

Is it me or just the angle of the photo.

But the handbrake seems to be angled a lot more in the bottom photo which would certainly aid it's pull. Or is this a later car "thing".

I don't remember it being that far off centre????????

The driver in the above piccy already owns a Cerbera 4.5 and told me that although he wasn't convinced Peter Wheelers felt any faster, he told me that the steering and handling was nothing like his at all! It's absolutely superb! No bump steer. No nervous handling on wet roads. Just competely confidence building driving precision.

Certainly the sweetest handling car I think I've ever driven - of any manufacturer!

Nice aluminium dashboard.

Not sure what the circled items are -- I don't recall having any of them on my Cerb.



His stereo looks nicer than mine too

Top left - demister vents which can be directed/closed.
Bottom left - Red Rose octane adjustement button.
Right - good question! It's either some sort of road safety Gatso alarm or a gadget for PW to keep track of his pride and joy while we were out enjoying ourselves

I wish I had those demister vents. Maybe they actually work...

I notice he's got the pods rather than the "blendeds". But then he's screwed it all up by putting orange bulbs instead of the silver type in his indicators, giving the "fried egg" look

What colour is that?

Looks a little like Halcyon Atlantis, but more blue than green. What ever it is, it looks superb and if it is Atlantis, then I'm an even bigga fool for selling mine

Looks like one of the reflex/chameleon paint options to me.

When we saw this car as brands it looked like the 3rd gizmo was a track data logger.

Duncan,

It is the very same car that Peter was in when he came to my rescue at Back Home! - Love the colour.

Appears to have been used in the million pound supercar test in a not-so-recent Top Gear (Supercars)
magazine. Credit has partially been stolen away from it in the article.
