Nice looking Cerb on Autotrader

[J_S_G]

Man, that has me hankering after a Cerb again. Someone's gone to a lot of trouble there... Front lights, rear lights, spiders, cleared indicators, top paint colour, nice interior. If that car's straight, someone's gonna be the proud owner of a fine, fine looking Cerb before long...

Edited to add: But I'm not allowed another Tiv just yet, so I should really stop looking.

Edited again to add: Even has Leven handbrake and pedals. Wonder why the side repeaters got left as standard, though?

What are those two black things under the "swoop" above the stereo, BTW?

Hasn't this car been commented on somewhere else?
Does £7k spent on cosmetic enhancements mean rebuilt after front end bash?

If you like that, you may want to look at a much later model for less money www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=159735&f=6&h=0

Do it mate, get another Cerbera

Buy a sorted, fully modded one and leave it there and have some fun while you save for you Aston.

Do you mean the air vents? My 1997 car has them didn't yours?

And it is a sorted car they even added ABS!

Nah, somebody forgot to put the other two cylinders in when building that one. Plus it needs the headlight conversion, etc. doing. Colour's not as nice, either.

I'm not "looking" to buy... just commenting that that was one luuuurverly looking car for not that much money. It might've been in a prang, it might handle like a pig, it might blow smoke out. But it looks lush.

That photo, just to the top-left of the steering wheel there are two black "discs". Don't know if they're air vents or what. My V reg. Cerb didn't have them (then again, it was completely missing an ashtray hole, too)

Oi - I thought you were the Speed 6 King AND the colour's great as I can testify - pictures of my baby to follow. (I simply will not get into that yellow/blue PH thing!)

Not in a Cerb. Wrong engine for the car. S6 suits a 2 seater, but not a 2+2, and definitely not the Cerb.

Yup, they are air vents, my 96 has them. However, my heater control facia is leather rather than aluminium or wood, which i've not seen on another car.

Just needs a gear stick surround then it would be sorted

[v8tvr]

Personally i think this is a fine example

Ok so i am a little biased

JSG, you're itching to get back into a TVR even after your nightmare... cant you tell

Appreciating a nice car is very different from itching to own another. If I were to stay in the land of Tiv, I'd just keep the Tuscan after all the effort that's gone into it, and continue terrorising the neighbourhood in that.

Should get the Rover back from the garage any day now... (hmmm, funnily enough, I'm not able to get quite so excited about that!)

[TVR-Phoenix]

Well if its not a tiv, hope its still something british rooted at least?

But that would discount a certain specced-up Viper, though, wouldn't it...

If I can get 500BHP out of an XKR without breaking the bank, I think my mind's made up. Good job that's not likely, then!

Mine's the same - he earlier vents like that, and both heater panel and dash are clad in leather, not wood or metal.

[nervous]

of course, Red can afford to get his dash clad in the foreskins of monjack deer if he wishes, such is the luxury of his splendorifous lifestyle.
