That's a blast from the past!

The Cerbera is one of the most beautifully designed cars ever produced in my eyes

The Cerbera whether you agree or disagree does in my opinion actually suit the upto date Japansese Bodystyling normally associated whith other manufactures cars
Oh dear.

Anyone on here ever looked out their window at their P&J and reckoned it could do with some 'up to date Japanese Bodystyling?'

Fair play to him for coming on here and confronting (in some cases converting) the mob, but that does not a Barryist forgive.

The owner tried to sell it in Ware a few years back. They don't use it but keep it in storage looking for the right price.

I've seen it quite a few times, not to my taste, but is was designed as a show piece of what the company who did the work could do.

The company was wound up last year: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2579704

Either the car is sat in some shed somewhere or got scrapped I reckon. Can't find a registration number to check.

A16 OES.

The car only had 22,600 miles when sitting an MOT in March 2014.

Very old one. Was on sale at bespoke problem was always going to have with sale was as a car/project and from the cover of MP you can see it was labelled and renowned for being gold. However at time of sale it had been changed in colour to a burnt orange/flame colour. The cars never done it for me but does show Jamie Shaw and Carisma as a company... they did have skill in craft. U.K. Pimp my ride and Westwood to promote you ? (Recipe for disaster)

Another big prob IMO is that I can't see from all the mods anything that improves the car. It does make you look and look again but only because it's so different from the original car and like said very Japanese in design.

Although with all that said the same that slag the look or "Japanese" touch are the same that are more than happy to place and promote an "American" V8 in thier car.

Do I like the car... NO!

I think I saw this car at the Donnie show many moons ago. I was never into the jap scene however good or bad they were. As the guys above have mentioned, it was a show car to demo the carisma touch. The style is not everyone's taste but it's the work that went into it. Obviously fibre glass mods suited a tvr body.
Personally I prefer a stock body lowered on a good set of wheels, but even that is viewed a bit avantgarde?!
