Farewell Cerbera

[R8nan]

After 9 years of ownership my Cerbera is now sold. Sad day for me but a good day for a very happy new owner.
Thanks to all the guys on this forum for all the encouragement that you expressed during the rebuild and for all the comments about the Cerb.
Cheers
Ronan

Someone got a bargain - if not the best Cerb in existence.

Sad to see another of the old timers departing. Good luck fella. Dont be a stranger

Hey guys
I am thinking of taking the Cerbera to Paris to watch the rugby
Ive been before but not in the Cerb so im wondering how easy it is to get through the road toll stations when you are so low down

I did exactly this in 2006. Glad I took a passenger, as all the toll stations, whether manned or automated were on the left!

If you take a car to France on a reasonably regular basis you can purchase a Sanef Toll Tag which opens the toll barrier automatically and charges your bank account. Much easier if you are driving a RH drive car. See www.saneftolling.co.uk

All bar 1 of my Eurotrips in the Cerb have involved jumping out, running around the front of the car with a polite wave to those behind, ticket grabbed/money paid, run back around. The locals seem more understanding of the Cerb than my Audi. Its not too much hassle and from memory its only about 3 toll booths to Paris?

In the 18 months I've had my Sanef Toll Tag I haven't yet been to France with the Cerb

You've both gone from Cerb to Mazer GT in the past month or two!

You need to come to the Classic again then Fubes, would be a blast to have you along!

Yes its slower than the Cerb and at first when I got this in September my plan was to keep both.
The main reason for selling the Cerb was because I can use the Massa all the time, I get my petrol head kick every day and I wanted the Cerbera to go to someone who would use it more because it deserves it.
