Well the time had finally arrived...I found the Cerb i was after at long last and bit the bullet...Off to lift her tomorrow evening from her present custodian...

To be honest i don't think i have ever been so excited about picking up a car in my life.

For years i have wanted a Cerb, i was about 19 when i first saw one on the roads across here in N.Ireland, i knew from that point on i had to have one. After this i promised myself a cerbera before i was 30 and tomorrow my promise is going to become a reality. It took me 10 years to finally pluck up the courage to buy one and i am inside my time limit by all of 20 days !!!

It most likely won't be the fastest car i have owned or the most reliable but that all fades into insignificance when i hear that engine and look at the beautifully sculpted lines of what to me is the most beautiful car ever produced by any manufacturer.

Anyway as soon as i get her i will stick up some pics smile

Cheers Phil one very excited soon to be cerb owner smile

Well done Phil1

Took me a little longer to get my first TVR in march.

Let us know "how fast it feels" compared to your other cars!

I have always had fast bikes and my Cerb feels bloody fast to me!
I'll probably get it remapped etc, and then it will really fly!!!

Off to Le Mans in it early Wednesday! Fingers crossed!!

That's a very pretty colour combination congrats. What was she like to drive compared with how you've been thinking over the past few days. Did she live up to the hype?
