Lee,

Good to meet you briefly earlier today between test drives.

I took a drive out to give a review for Simon and that car is sweet as, not ahs mental as the 4.2 I took out earlier but realisticly a far better option.

I've driven quite a few Cerbera now and I can honestly say those there are two of the tighest I've driven, both in terms of power delivery and handling/suspension.

If you do get it come down and visit us in SE London / NW Kent, or visit Mid Essex, as Pauline would be more than happy to greet another yellow Cerbera!

No that was SimonJW who is also very interested in it, I had the TVR S3 parked at the back.

Took out the yellow 4.5 and the coopery/pinky red 4.2 (and loudest Cerbera ever) for a comparison as I've been looking at 4.5s so far and wanted to see what a 4.2 was like.

The yellow wasn't quite for me I'm afraid, as the interior was too dark - I've got to keep the kids cheerful in the back after all!

Good luck and may be best man purchase the Cerbera

gbbird, Your colour in my opinion is the best yellow I've seen! I dont think I've seen it on another car yet.

the other yellows look plastic - give the car a kit-car tone - IMO....

Nice to have met you and Rob yesterday. I am the one with the scooby, who up until yesterday had a buyer he bought elsewhere. So it would appear the race is on......

PS Does anybody want to buy a Scooby Type R.

Good luck to both of you, as its a fine car that one.

Bit subtle compared to the banzai straight through de-catted 4.2 I had a drive in mind!

Greg, the DM cerb is Halycon Midas, yours looks the same? Looks fantastic in the sunshine

I'm a Sunset Pearl kinda guy , not a good pic on my profile, too dark, one day I'll get round to posting a better one.

Mine looks quite a normal yellow in dull weather but once the sun gets on it it really does almost change to a different colour completely.

mines a 4.5 and will have had it nearly a year come October. The actual colour is Halcyon Midas Pearl, with cream and blue interior. No major problems as such, just the 'usual' such as starter motor and clutch slave cylinder seals. Don't regret it a bit, and i'm sure you won't either

Yellow Peril, yours is waaaaay too extreme... you've even got yellow wheels right?
