Looking forward to TVR ownership P9 AJP

[cerbhope]

After a few weeks of searching I was fortunate to be contacted by Mark the owner of P9 AJP via Pistonheads, in reply to my previous post 'struggling to find a Cerbera...'

After a few emails I met Mark tonight and struck a deal on his lovely 4.2 Cerb - really nice guy to deal with too.

A lovely honest car with mountains of history and in excellent order thanks to Mark's 'if it needs fixing then do it' attitude to any issues he's encountered. And the sound under acceleration........... well just unbelievable

Roll on next week when I pick it up !!

Seems like half the threads these days are about new owners or wannabes

Welcome to the cerb fraternity

Glad you enjoyed it, it does sound awesome doesn't it. Today I'm starting the hunt for something suitable to replace it with, but I know nothing is going to compare to that noise, and the shotgun like pops and bangs it likes to make to scare pedestrians.

Guess I have to change my username now :-(

Hi Mark - I'm sure the neighbours in the village appreciate your decision to sell the car !! Look forward to meeting again early next week, then a lovely 130 mile drive home.......

Lovely Cerb! The best colour..

[Adambul]

Totally agree on the colour, here's mine this week at Blyton Park

[Jhonno]

Great shot! Hope you got a bigger version..

[cerbhope]

Yes the colour is spot on, I liked it as it seemed quite rare - so it is just us three ??!!

[Jhonno]

It does appear to be a rare colour.. Until this thread I'd never seen another other than yours! (I'd seen pics from the previous owner).

[Adambul]

Likewise, I thought i had the only one.. I've got some great photo's of mine at Blyton Park but they are all above the size limit for uploading hence the small rubbish photo, i'll try and work out how to re-size them and put a couple up. Does anyone know what the colour is actually called? I've heard BMW Violet from the dealer I bought it from but not sure myself

[robsco]

Indeed, beautiful colour. I had agreed a deal on a 4.2 in that colour (my favourite colour for a Cerb) but due to complicated reasons it ended up falling through. In actual fact I had looked at R241VLR also Adambul! Those 18 inch RL7s are like hen's teeth!

I understand it's called Chianti Starmist

I think the colour is called 'Chianti Starmist' but stand to be corrected - 2 days until I pick her up , can't wait !!!

[HarryW]

So what is the colour then? If there are three of you then my highlands pearl must be rarer though

Ok just seen the latest posts, so it's Chianti starmist I know that and yes it is a really lovely colour.

[robsco]

It's definitely Chianti Starmist.

[Bogsye]

Fan of Chianti Starmist too - photo's don't do them justice. They look superb in the flesh!
I missed out on one at James Aggers recently.

Colour looks better when the sun is shining - obviously it's the fastest colour too 😊

Not sure if its the fastest colour
I actually think the fastest Cerbera is determined by the nut behind the wheel not the colour. Mines Highland Pearl with 450hp but it is far far faster than I ever could be...........

Looks a cool colour.. Any better pics than the one in your profile? Sounds like a cool Cerb!

First time seeing one in the flesh was out our Friday Service at Lemans.
I still would have taken it over the majority of the cars there and surprisingly I fit at 6ft7.
