as you know the plan has always been to love the griff and unfortunately leave it once the summer is over (that'll be a couple of weeks then...) even though i've already had enormous fun in it and once back from SFR will hopefully have loads more...

but, as they say, you can never quite get over a first love and my first love is the cerbera

so it may mean the end for the TT as well, as i will look for a hopefully good but oldish (mid to late 90's) example.

what are people's experiences of the cerb? has anyone gone to the cerb from griff ownership or vice vera? all morsals of info welcome

Yeah, and check out potential running costs etc. You thought your griff was an expense....! Cerby=
However, fancy one myself, just the potential costs putting me off. Do love my griff, so will stick with!!

Good luck, whatever, m8.

Budget £3k ayear for running costs.

Kleppy from East Mids had a Chim, then Cerb, now has 4.3BV Griff. First comment?

Isn't the Griff cheap to run?

my lord £3k a year! how and why?!

is that including insurance and petrol? i'm guessing not?

that in itself is a huge contributing factor to the current tvr decline situation.

my experience of griff ownership up to now has been ok spending wise. yes, I was a bit naïve to buy a car that needed work but if I had bought a recently serviced griff I would have paid at least £2k more than I did.

I'd also intend to buy a v well looked after cerb with top notch and recent service info.

although I am having fun refirbing the griff myself. getting some swissol leather healer next to touch up little bits of trim. lets hope its as good as they boast...
