Well after four years put cerb up for sale last sunday evening....and it was sold monday morning...just been collected.Only sold as I was not using her......im gutted to be honest when she drove down the road I was nearly in tears.we have sold our house too and ive lost my garage this was just more reasons to move it on.Thanks for all your help over the years am sure the new owner will be on here soon.....happier than me I think.
Lol, thought I would keep her forever, and to be honest not sure why I sold it.a kind of sensible moment came over me ......its really bad seeing it go down the road makes you realise how special these cars are.hope the new owner uses it as I should have done.my other option was to leave her in storage 30 miles from new house, which in my head meant even less use.Oh well never say never am sure I will be back in one in the future. ...but it will never match my first one
Wow. Sorry to hear that you needed to let her go.
I've sometimes wondered whether to "be sensible" and sell the Cerb, particularly after extended periods where I've just not used it (usual stuff, work, family, weather, lack of time etc), or when there has been a big bill or due a big bill, and also that the kids are starting to get a bit big for the rear seats.......
But so far, it's just taken a spirited drive out, or a conversation with another petrolhead who then gets to find out I own a Cerbera, or the lack of real alternatives at anywhere near the price (four seater raw sportscar with timeless gorgeous looks, analogue driving experience, that sound....).
Spongy - look at this another way. You have had a chance to own and "fettle" one, and have truely immersed yourself in the Cerb ownership experience (and done far more work on the car than I owuld ever have the time or ability to do...), now is the chance to move on, even if temporarily. Treat youself to something else that you've always wanted that is more suited to your current circumstances (e.g. more pliant suspension, doesn't mind being left outside without a garage) and run that for a while......
.... and start planning to build a garage at your new place, and looking round for your next TVR!!!!
