My new toy

[billybradshaw]

So, it's taken a while but finally after a few false starts I've got a Cerbera.

It's a 4.2 V8 with about 30K on the clock.

I had a nice drive home from Dorset, about 260 miles, and I loved everyone of them.

For peace of mind I'm already replacing some stuff like fuel hoses, etc.

So far so good

Looks lovely , enjoy.!

[CHIMV8]

Love the colour and wheels..

Always wanted one but scared stiff of things that can go wrong with them and the costs..

[NilsP]

Gorgeous colour.
You'll have loads of fun

[Jhonno]

Nice! Love the colour.

[billybradshaw]

Thanks for the kind words folks.

I toyed with an XKR for a while but my heart was set on a Cerbera.

I'll get some more pics posted as and when I take some. I was going to treat myself to a father's day drive out but the blummin' battery has gone flat and I can't get in the thing. So much for 'so far so good'

Anybody care to share the 'alternative access method' for a '98 car? I can't find anything (in the users handbook) about how to get in the boot, just what to do when I do.

Cheers folks

Thanks for that Puffsback. How's your new toy?

The vendor came up with the goods too so off we go for Father's day cruise

Loving the new toy. Just been out in the Cerbera this morning, feels like a limo compared to the Sag! so much more comfortable. The Sag is a lot stiffer sprung and feels very intimidating to drive, really wide. The Sag is also a LOT louder - obnoxiously loud (no Cats and Clive F tailpipes)

Tempted to keep both, Cerb for the longer family cruises and the Sag for playtime

Enjoy your Cerb. Well worth investing in an accumate/optimate for keeping the battery ready

Very nice, great colour choice.

[N1CERB]

Either optimate, or just leave the bonnet catches open when you park up at home.

Congratulations, that looks a great car

Hi,

Isn't there an Optimate in the boot with a three pin plug attached?

If you bought the car from Shmoo, isn't that in Devon, not Dorset?

Look after 'Pebbles' and enjoy her!

Congratulations, I've just bought a Cerbera too.

Not only is it one of the best cars I've ever driven but I would say its a very sensible place to put your money too! Values can only go up!

Hello Adrian, I didn't know you lurked on here, YHM or you soon will have

Indeed there is an Optimate in the boot and I'm just sorting out power in my garage.

And yes Devon, but I drove to Dorset first as that's where I was spending some time with my family on holiday.

The Pebbles name has stuck as my kids love it and don't worry the car is in safe hands.

Cheers
