Been a while since I’ve posted in here, but have lingered in the background so never really left!!
But finally I’m back in a Cerbera, mine mine mine!!
My old house finally sold after over a year of being messed about so after all debts and crap was paid off , I thought I’d treat myself for a change! Thanks to Ian aka morebeanz who had decided to sell just at the right time, although I’m sad he had to as I consider him one of the old timers frown and have known him and the car since he bought it about 15 yrs ago!
That short drive home this morning reminded me of how much I love these cars, the pops and bangs had me smiling all the way!

Congrats on the purchase and I too have major garage envy!!

It’s Gordon, I have the black Tuscan Convertible S, we meet a few times at TVR meets a long time ago, and I always remember you telling me your pistonheads name is Arebrec which is Cerbera spelt backwards, was your husband named Mark???

Yes of course, I do remember, just no pic or anything on your profile confused me and your 1 st post lol
Hope you’re well, you still have the Tuscan? think we convoyed to a meet once ?
Yes madmark , but we split years ago, was actually when I changed my name to arebrec!! (amicably and we even used to share his Cerbera at the time! ) unfortunately he recently passed away 2015 frown would loved to have kept his Cerb but at the time I didn’t have the funds!
Does feel good to be back in a Cerb!

Nice car, nice garages blah blah blah wink

The important thing which people on this car forum have missed is the flattie smile
Miss mine terribly 3 years after the last one died and just now looking for a new one. Please PM me if you know of any puppies.

So so sorry to hear about Mark, I am so glad you are in a happier place now, and it looks like you we have a nice garage for the new Cerbera, hope to see you again one day, stay safe.

Hi Roger, thanks, I’m glad I was in a position to buy it when he did decide though!
Good to see so many have still got their cerbs too!

Yup ! That was the one, Kiddo !

I'd only had BlackBeauty© one month when I went to it.
At the time there were no other TVRs in Lux so I felt fairly unique so I will never forget going down to the Hotel's underground garage at about 3 a.m.
(Don't ask)
and finding that almost all the spaces were taken by Cerbs.

Totally surreal thumbup
