I'm not sure if Jeremy will see this, but I bought his old Cerbera at the end of last year and I'm trying to find out about its early history. I've known the car since 2007 when I first met its then owner Ian Lambert through him doing a pre-purchase inspection on my Cerbera. Prior to then, I know very little about its history, other than it was owned by PHer's Maverick and then Jeremyc.
Any information etc would be much appreciated.

Hi Neil. Good to hear that the Cerbera has found a new home.Hi Jeremy, thanks for the speedy reply👍
Anything really that you can remember about it, where you purchased it from, any problems or issues you had or if you have any photos of it from back then. Did you trade it in to a Bentley dealer, as there's a Bentley folder with the car that contains some invoices etc?
Do you know if Maverick is still about and did it still have the factory child seat when you had it?

All of the paper documentation for the car was bundled up in a history folder that I left with the car - hopefully some of this has found its way to you.
Here's the history that I can piece together:
1 March 2001 - First registered to Manjit Gill (PH'er 'maverick'), sold by Walldonway in Kent. Spec. includes full leather, heated screen, big brakes (allegedly 'Red Rose' spec.). It also had a Tracker Monitor unit installed.
22 Dec 2001 - Purchased by me from Walldonway with 2,500 miles. I had the original anthracite spiders changed for silver ones, the side and rear window tints removed and the child seat bar removed prior to purchase.
19 May 2002 - 6,000 mile service at Walldonway.
7 Aug 2002 - Work carried out at Mole Valley TVR (now Gatwick TVR) to include replacement of rear silencer box, replacement of door deals to cure leak, repair of engine breather pipe, repair of fractured a/c pipe (with regas).
30 September 2002 - 12,000 mile service at Mole Valley TVR (now Gatwick TVR).
10 July 2003 - 18,000 mile service at Racing Green.
19 Feb 2004 - 24,000 service at Racing Green (including MOT).
20 Oct 2004 - Sold to Broughtons of Cheltenham with 28,638 miles (a Bentley dealer at the time who became Pangbourne Bentley).
Somewhere within that lot is a clutch change (about 20,000-ish miles I think, carried out under warranty) and a replacement gearbox - 5th gear was stripped (again under warranty, probably late 2003). There were also a number of starter motors replaced under warranty. All carried out by the guys at Racing Green.
The only bodywork repairs I had were to tart it up for sale in June 2004: minor damage to front offside wing, stone chips on drivers door mirror, chip on offside A pillar, repair bubbling patch on bootlid and chip on nearside rear wing.
I didn't have the child seat (I had the additional bar to support it removed). I've not heard from maverick since shortly after I bought the car, so no idea if he is still around.
