After years of dreaming, saving, buying and selling cars, vans, campers and most recently my beloved capri 280tt it arrives tomorrow. My very own TVR Cerbera.
If you see a dark blue Cerbera on a trailer on the M66 or the M62 heading towards Huddersfield then its not poorly its coming to me. A true self bought Christmas present. Simply cannot wait!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. It's already a good one for me.

And a happy, playful but safe New Year.

Photos will have to wait to the weekend as it hasn't landed yet. I too hope I have chosen wisely, I did lots of research and spoke to two former keepers. Bought through Track V Road and they have fully gone through the car. Many may know the car it is Robsco's old car so I have had lots of emails from him about the car. Yes the car is now destined for the garage, it runs out of tax at the end of this month. Looking forward to April for a first outing which is most likely to be Chatsworth then a months playing before off to Le Man's.
Happy days indeed.
Matt

If it's had new outriggers you can allow yourself a trip or two - just give it a good hose down when done.

Only other advice, as others have said, is go easy with the right foot, especially coming off roundabouts.

Look forward to seeing it again!

On the basis that I've even lit the back end up, dropping it into 3rd, on a dry road... I wouldn't limit the caution just to roundabouts!!!

Enjoy...

...but take it easy coz these cars bite!!!

Congratulations Matt, I really hope you enjoy the car. It will delight and infuriate in equal measure, but there really is nothing like a Cerbera when everything just "gels". Will see you and the old girl at Chatsworth, hoping for better weather next year than this! Give the Tuscan a pat on the wing if you spot her. smile
