Couple of questions, I know the second has been covered before, sort of...

Firstly, Yellow Cerberas... I dont see any in the classifieds. Not ready to buy just yet anyway, but even if was, its no good wanting a yellow one if there are none for sale. Are they quite hard to find?

Secondly, what colour do you recon makes the "loudest/coolest" looking cerbs. Im a fan of the louder non-reflex colours, purple and yellow.

A purple and yellow one would certainly be striking - were you thinking of spots or stripes?

Funny you should say that Bob, I bought mine privately back in the summer (sigh, seems such a long time ago) and a few weeks later there where 3 other yellow ones up for sale at the same time (I think 2 where at Dream Machines)

Thought I'd bought a common one Then I realised its the blue ones that are common as muck :grin:

Worry no longer Nick the cavalry is here! Just been out for a spin in the yellow (well Halcyon Midas to be exact) and what can i say but

yellow is the colour for Cerberas .

I hope you find one soon ukbob - you will not regret your exquisite choice of colour, and you will be joining an exclusive club . There are few yellow ones around now and then, but i guess people just don't ever want to get rid of a good yellow example of the finest TVR there is

Okay......here I am......

Uk Bob...take no notice of these cretinous blue merchants....

The reason yellow Cerberas are hard to find is that they don't stay up for sale long enough to get advertised mate!!!!

Trust me....we went all the way from Essex to Bristol to buy the Peril and a downright monster she is too!!!!

Yellow is THE colour....the others all know it....but they have to shout loudly cos they couldn't find one!!!

Good luck in your yellow search.......I hope you find a goodun.

I absolutely love loud colours..and rare ones.

Mine is purple...and it made me buy it, although i wasnt after that colour.

Swordfish colour was my preferred choice - but i wasnt willing to wait for one, being on a budget i may still be cerby less!
Yellow/orange would have been my next choice though...in fact the nicest ive seen is a deep orange one with black leather and black spiders..that is the bollox! Looks as mean as hell!
