Sold my Red Chim 4.0 on Sunday, tried a Cerbera on Monday and bought it. It's a 4.2 with sports Exhausts in Moonraker black and black interior (with Orange Dials) Pick it up on Friday. The clock is going so slow.

Was your CHIM originally that coulour or did you have it resprayed? It looks a nice deep paint job from your profile - mind you pic is quite small...

Congrats, sounds cool black with orange dials - pics soon of that please.
And remember 4.2's are the business and don't let those 4.5 numpties tell you otherwise.

Congratulations on your purchase

I don't really want to get involved in the colour thing, but Moonraker Black is by far the best colour for a cerb

Yes it was the original colour, Formula Red I think it's the Red Honda use for the NSX?

I never thought I'd be as excited like I was when I bought my first TVR, I think I'm even more so.

Does anyone know the actual length of the Cerbera. I've just been measuring the Garage space. I've got 4.4m from a set of racks to the front will I need to move the racks to give myself some extra room. that would give me 5.1m?

I'm fairly tight on space in one of my garages.

Once I start using it every day for the Cerb I'll be fixing a piece of 3 x 2 wood to the floor as a "reminder to stop now" so I don't bump off the wall.

Thanks for this I'll get the tape measure out again.
