was looking at some old photos this morning and wondered if my old 400SE is still around H311FLA - it was a brilliant car that rarely went wrong - I always regretted selling it

Hi John - I sold the cerb a couple of years ago when the crank snapped and I coulndt afford to repair it - things improved though so I now have a griff 500 and love it - its just like a 400se except its a bit quicker and handles better. Having said that the 400SE was the best sounding tiv of the 3. cheers

good to see it is still alive and kicking - thanks.

i have a spare space in my double garage but sadly i dont think swmo would agree to another tiv t present

i actaully had the cerb and the 400 together for about 2 or 3 years but keeping them both up to scratch was a bit of a pain.

i remember one weekend when i was due to go to a saturday sprint in devon that they were both broken and in different garages and i went home at luchtime and waited to see which arrived back first. It was the wedge so i took that to gurston for the hill climb - good memories

if you want to see what the cerb and griff go like on a track have a look at my profile there are a couple of links cheers jes

Digging up a very old one, anyone know if the OP still uses the forum? I tried to get in touch but got no reply.

I happened to be behind them at brands hatch some years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzTIEnVdvl4

Yes is still very much involved with the TVRCC Sprint race season and having watched him many times he certainly is a very entertaining driver and definitely takes it to the limit, and sometimes a little bit beyond.....
