Howdy All... Just picked up my first Cerbera... a '97 4.2. I guess I'll be along here soon asking questions so thought it would be polite to jump in and say hello first...

Thanks in advance for any help / opinions etc.

Cheers - Rog

PS - Anyone in here going to Virginia Water Sunday? Wouldn't mind saying hello, having a chat over the car, putting a name to a face etc.

Thanks for the welcome...

Aye, it's a different beast to the Charger, as well as the value goign up it was also tax excempt, which I always got a kick out of when getting new tax disc...

Loving the Cerbera though, always wanted one and for the short time I've had it I'm loving it, even with all the usual TVR shananigans... nothing major a couple iof electrical issues with doors, windows etc. soon to be fixed.

Quick question, down on the sill area of the passenger foot well is a cable pull, is this an engine/electrical cut out?

Manual door opener, should find one on each side.

Did you make VW? If so sorry I didn't get to say hi but wasn't by my car for most of it.

Welcome Charger!

I think the pull you are talking about is probably the door release cable for use when the electrical door release doesn't work. There should be another one on the drivers side... It has a red handle.

I'm told it's pretty rare, was described to me as a Pearlescent Red but in the owner book its listed as "Halcyon Rose"...?

Not sure if she has a Farm shop.
I know she use to work on Aston Martins doing the interior/upholstery.
Sure she still in that trade but not with Aston anymore.
Was going to have it myself but she wasn't realy, hmmm, lets say clued up about TVR so to speak!
Nice car though. So let see some more pics!
