What other car could you ever want?
Discussion
Hello
After the usual months of lucking and some seriously good help from Rob Ingleby I finally purchase the only car I have ever wanted to own. Not sure if anyone else remembers, but there was an article in Top Gear magazine in Oct/Nov 1997 when the speed six was launched. It featured a red/mulberry car and as a 17 year old boy I was hooked. Anyone got a copy of this? (It is not on the TVRCC website) Unfortunately I won't be using her (they are girls aren't they?) on a daily basis as I work in central london, but for longer weekend drives seeing friends and going down to the south coast, then France next summer.
Picture below, and there are more details from the original advert on the classifieds page. But in summary, it had a rebuild at Str8six 4,000 miles ago (I have done 500 miles already) and is essentially original which is how I intend to keep it.
As others seem to have said just after purchasing, I still cannot believe I actually own a Cerbera. The thought alone makes me smile. Still not used to the attention, which has been wholly positive. As he swabbed for explosives, the car park man in Canary Wharf said he had always wanted one and would keep a special eye out. Even my mum loves the look, although is less keen of the noise. Best comments so far has to go to my niece who said 'is this to stop fighting in the back' as she points to the transmission tunnel, and then later 'mummy I have an idea, instead of moving house lets swap for David's car'.
Many thanks also to Jason for looking after her, and selling to me, and Tony Abrams for getting my girlfriend on board when we visited in June and not to forget Pistonheads - an invaluable source of information. Hope to be along to some events soon, and that the picture upload works.
