Anyone here have any more information?

Looks lovely.

Not too sure about the exhausts though...

Oh and those bonnet humps look kind of peculiar...

Apparently a 5.0 AJP8.

Think this one was the last one that NS was to have...but being a kind hearted person he is, sold it to a customer...sure this was covered recently here.

Not the car intended for NS, but owned by a very nice man at TVR

This was one of the last Cerberas built though and THE last to leave the factory.

It does have a 5.0 AJP in it and much more.

Feature on The Cerbera Register shortly, oh...and it will also be a guest at C.R.E.A.M 2005

C.R.E.A.M 2005
Cerbera Speed 12
Phoenix 1000bhp Cerbera Project
5.0 'BossCerbera'
Team LNT Le Mans T400R
Cannonball 2004 Cerbera

Hmmmm, it's the same colour as the one I saw but didn't notice the humps on the bonnet. I was a bit distracted as I was talking brakes with Jim and just assumed it was a bog standard cerb until he said it was the last one. Oh well!!!!

Meant to add, did you notice the badge on your link, it doesn't have a 4.5 badge.

Pictured here last week with another special guest at C.R.E.AM!

As I say, check The Cerbera Register shortly for the story behind this great car!

Why spoil the lines of a beautiful car by putting those giant breast on the bonnet.

I ask you, carlos fandango eat your heart out. Why didn't he stick a wurlitzer on the roof.

Remember Ash, think understated when you produce your car. Remember less is more and this is an example of how to make your car look like liberachi vomited on it.

Just reread my post, cruel but fair I think

Anybody at Racing Green on Saturday had the pleasure to admire the car, and talk to the owner: It's great to know that a Cerbera enthusiast is in the highest levels at TVR. (Apparently he has an 4.5 as well as this phantastic car). It sounded awesome, and I loved the exhaust headers (roughly twice the diameter of standard, and 4>2>1 with longer primaries, if I am not mistaken).

(Though I saw him being interviewed, so best not to say too much, in case
a) my facts are wrong
b) I'm stealing someone's thunder, eh Ted?)

So was it PDI'd at Harrogate? The dates match and the colour is the same???

No, it wasn't PDI'ed at Harrogate. That car was the last-but-one to leave the factory (and it's also reflex charcoal) but it is not the youngest chassis number either. I believe that the Moonraker Black TVRCC Sprint star is the last chassis number.

My old 1998 4.5 is ferocious but the Boss is positively violent. It's got more torque-to-weight than a Pagani Zonda.

Nothing disfunctional will be on the Phoenix, but I'm afraid there will be some VERY EXTREME mods on the bonnet, its the only way to get the custom intake manifolds with precise choke etc in there and to pull the heat out and to increase the HP flow... but will be a well thought out aerodynmic design rather than just holes and hills...

Just spoke to my chaps today and my bloody engine internals still havent turned up, I bet the racing teams engines have pushed my bits priority aside... theres going to be some heads rolling tomorrow... I'm feckin pissed!
