Happy New Year to you all I have just sold my beautifull Cerb after a great fun filled grining ownerhip below is a picture I have of the day it was delivered to the original owner who I bought her from.



Here she is just befor I sold her nine years later.



She has gone to a good home an x TVR owner so I am sure he will be on here to ask for help the same as I have done over the years and a big thank you to all, its a great forum full of fun people with the best caar I have ever owned and dont worry I will be back one day you cant replace that grin with anything else. Chhers and thank you all again

Sorry to hear that mate. Looks lovely. I too may well be finally parting with mine this year. Time, money, and new aquistions taking priority.

Sorry to hear that, I know the feeling. I sold mine just last month, missing it already, even with the terrible weather. Easily the most exciting, and involving car I have owned, every journey turned into an event.Was even reliable :-)

Mine had been totally reliable not problem at all in over a year and a half then the dy qfter i did the sale she got very upset with me and decided to show me who was the boss and I should not be getting rid of her and so on a frosty bitterly cold morning decided the solenoid would not throw the bendex out to start her up?? I coild not believe it fter all that time. he was not happy with me at all but now she has met the new owner who is going to look after her real ell she seeems fine?? Dont you just love them!!!!

Mine was only sold due to a house sale falling through. It will be another Cerb, or something Italian.

Your car origially, is the spitting image of the one i have purchased recently. The way it looks before selling is how i want mine to look when i have finished... Great looking car, credit to you.

Mine went like this:
996,srt10,cobra, mustang65,67,2005,gt, camaro rs,corvette, mercedes sl (71),bentely turbo rt, porsche cayenne, subaru impreza sti, audi A8 W12, maserati ghibli gt, maserati 3200gt, ferrari 308,348,456, lancia delta integrale evo 1, and now looking for a 4.5 cerb again - you will never, nerver get it out of your system, closest thing to it has to be a maserati- sound, quirkiness, design

I just looked at the list of cars you currently own and have owned, quite a list, its great to hear that even with that collection you still rate the cerbera so highly. Just goes to underline once again what I already thought, there is very little to beat it unless you start spending vast amounts of money.

The maserati 3200 was closest to it- great shape, sound. The interior was better but it lacked power. Drive could be crazy - but these two were the only cars that had the effect of making me walk over to the window just - to have a look and also really find an excuse to take hem out whenever possible.

Anyway.
Sorry to see her go again. But nice to know she's off to another good home.
