I am now in the fortunate position of being able to buy a Cerbera, but before I go off test driving and reading up on all the other stuff I need to know (most of which I do know already) I have a simple question.

I'm 6'3 and whilst not a huge blob of lard I've not got the smallest butt in the world either. How feasible/comfortable is driving a Cerbie going to be? Should I just get an Audi S8 instead and take comfort over grin factor?

I'm also 6'3" (and Peter Wheeler is even taller) and fit fine.

Don't know how our ar$es compare though .

Go get a Cerbera - you know it makes sense .

I'm 6'5" and have no problem with the Cerbera. From a driver's point of view it's one of the roomiest sports cars I've sat in.

Just go sit in one! But be weary that if you find that the leg room is tight, it's probably because the previous owner was a short a**e and the pedals need re-adjusting for us normal types.

Only problem i have is that i weigh in at 14 stone, and when my 17stone mate is in the car with me we leave a lot of exhaust on the ground.

Height wise Cerb's are longer Seat Back to pedals than most Euroboxes, so that shouldnt be an issue.

Clarkson is also freakishly tall and he fitted into the Cerbera without any problem at all.

Anyway, this is all hypothetical, just go and test drive one at your local TVR dealer. A tenner says you're a Cerbera owner within a month

Shoulder width seems to be the biggest issue for me. Lets just say its snug if you have arms like a chimera (or was that chimp)
