Never knew that, plate ends in JMW.

Looks like an early 4.2 with 16" wheels

I'm watching that too. I think that bit was filmed around 2000. I remember it being mentioned before that he used to have a Cerb.

He also likened it to a kit car in reverse on Top Gear, he said you bought it whole and it slowly disassembled itself for you.

I owned Kevs car for a few years. It is a 4.2 on a P plate. I traded it in for a T350t Bad mistake and should have kept the Cerb. It went like stink! The 350 was cr...

I now own a 4.5 Cerb and feel nice again!

Kev told me that he had lost it a few times as it had an accession for hedgerow. He also said that he had the engine removed to fit a new starter motor. I mentioned that he had been shafted.

The car was in rose colour with single headlamps and brownish interior, but I now know that it has twin blended lamps. No a/c either, but it did have the extended crank for the a/c compressor.

How I loved that car!
