Wow - would have thought this was always a keeper for whoever owned her - not bad value IMHO (BTW no connection with owner or garage).

I've just sent the advert to someone, I'm praying they're mad enough to buy it!

That's not a bad price. I know the market's pretty dire at the moment but whatever way you're looking at it you are getting a whole lot of car for a relatively small amount. It'll be well specced too no doubt. Looks great.

As you say a unique piece of TVR history, always struck me as a shame that the owner decided to personalise it rather than keeping it as it came from the factory. frown

Not sure if it's worth £35K but there are some nutters out there, hell, someone pledged £100K for a 45 min guitar lesson with Mark Knopfler the other day for Children in need!

It sold for £39,995 September 2007 - I tried to buy it but was beaten by the 'now' prevoius owner. So it's lost 5k in 12-months.

I must say I'm tempted...again! I might be buying flowers on the way home tonight - she'll know I'm after something or think I've been naughty somehow?

Si

P.S. I very rarely buy flowers.

Is it for sale on a sale or return basis or did the dealer buy it in. If the latter then one would assume they have a reasonable mark up.

Off the top of my head I can't remember what was changed Jools, I do remember posts about the things that were going to be changed.

I know the "showplates" it had on at Balckpool 06 were signed by NS, rolleyes surely must have been something else. The price back then, when they were taking bids on it was 48.5k I wonder if it sold for that?

Wasn't the Boss Cerb the last one off the line?

This white Last Cerb was a special build for Auction, built 18-months after Boss Cerbera.

If you look at Tony's other car for sale, the Sag..... They're both/were both "Ray Vonn"'s toys

Have the Cerb moulds been binned ?

If not, can you guarantee that this is the last Cerbera ? smile

RayVonn was looking at Typhons and stuff recently IIRC, perhaps he's freeing up funds for a big purchase of some kind?

scratchchin Would such a car eventually appreciate in value or is it like most cars at the end of a line?
Would it need to be pampered with zero miles and kept in a glass garage to remain special?
I understand the importance of the 'lastcar', but in retrospect i believe every Cerb is unique and special to its owner.
(Now will somebody close this post so i can purchase it for myself before the price goes through the roof!)hehe

I'd imagine the 1st Cerbera would be more desireable, but this one is pretty interesting due to the factory being commissioned for a 'one off'. If it's kept packed up, low mileage and mint, it may start to appreciate.

Let's not forget - some people are estimating there might be <500 Cerberas alive.

However, i'd sell my soul for the BossCerbera - that IS special cloud9
