I saw the last ever cerb today

[andy4200]

It was having it's PDI before being handed over.

Have to admit it was a fantastic colour, it looked a bit graphite gray at first but when it got out further into the light it's a dark green reflex colour with the brown (biscuit?) interior.

Looked good, is the owner on here???

Where was that Andy?

There seems to be a few 'last ever' Cerberas doing the rounds.

I have been doing some research into these, so I'd be intereseted to know more.

Thanks.

Think it was given a feature in this month's Sprint

That car is already on the road and IS the last 4.5.
It is also black, so it doesn't sound like what Andy saw.

I don't know if it was a 4.5 or not, didn't get too close a look at the badge.
It was at the service centre for HHC in Harrogate. It didn't even have number plates on it yet.
They had it out moving it around to finish off the PDI before the customer collected it.
The service manager said it was the last one out of the factory.

Hmm - must have been a squeeze out of the factory door on that last day - I now have five, one of which IS the last 4.5...

Just had a look at sprint and that is definately not the one i saw. Maybe it's the other one that was headed for the dealer.
I'll be back up in a few days collecting some rear discs, (BTW you cannot get plain any more, only drilled rears), so I'll ask a few more questions or if anyone has any specific questions let me know and I'll try and subtely squeeze them into conversation

[GCerbera]

The dealer one is in Ireland...and was spectraflair silver.
The plot thickens.

If you could email full deatils including chassis number I can can find out the rest.

Thanks

You don't ask for too much!!! I'll try and slip it in to conversation.

Me: by the way, are they discs handed, and can you tell me the chassis number of that cerb??

Dealer: Yes, and no....

I'll let you know what I find out.

Goodness, anyone would have thought I was asking to borrow it for a track day.....
Hmmm, can you ask that?

Thanks for your help!

[RUSSELLM]

Would you like a cup of tea Andy ? "what's the chasis number of that Cerbera" "Oh sorry, I meant, Yes please, milk & one sugar"

No luck, the service manager was rushing out as I got there so no more info unfortunately.
If the new owner is fairly local he might turn up at one of the meets, I'll keep my eyes open.

[GCerbera]

Thanks for trying - notice anything unusual about the bonnet?

[andy4200]

Not really!!! Should I have, didn't say TVRski does it?? It just had the S12 headlights. Fairly sure it wasn't the double ones. There wasn't any humps or louvres (spelling).

Arrgghh must pay more attention in class next time.

[GCerbera]

Well it's not the one that left the factory in the last week then, which was not
the last built, but was the last to leave.

And so it goes on....

Excactly which last of the last Cerberas is your last of the lasts Sir?
