The Monster DVD is coming - there's some good Cerbera footage on that.

Crew were all over the circuit and Guillotine had a rearward camera on his car most of the day. I did a few laps with an in-car and flank camera. Flank camera was on the right so overtaking on the left caught plenty of cars. I then chased Guillotine for a few more laps.

Tell you what I would like to see, the original Top Gear report on the Cerb, guess must be from about circa 94-97. I know the one where a red 4.2 thrashes all the other top cars of the day - but I'm sure there were other Clarkson test drives and pontificators. Anyone got any ideas?

I have quite a few at The Cerbera Register www.tvr-cerbera.com

There will be a brand new site on line in the next few days that will also house more.

Then of course, after THE Cerbera event later this month (over 50 Cerbs in one place!), there
will be a whole lot more on line.

DVD being filmed as well.

Hope you can make it. www.Cream2005.info

So you got an actual Top Gear Cerbera road test on vhs, not the red Cerb in the multi car drag race one? I seem to remember the clutch failed at the end of the feature.

Yep ! In Raspberry..... The clutch failiure isn't shown, but Clarkson RAVES about the car....

Oh well, at least I can't be acused of driving it like a Volvo driver !

Did you know a 1989 Volvo 740 GLE will do an indicated 122mph at 4500rpm (won't go any faster though !)

This is, of course, passed on information, I'd never dream of doing such speeds !
