Just watching the old episode again, S17 TVR.
DLVA says it's just been taxed, mot until august, so good to see it's still on the road. Who has this now, do we know?

Not sure. It was up for sale for a long time on here - think it only went a few months ago. Seemed decent value for the money, surprised it hung around for so long.

It's been sold as it has an MOT and Tax, just wondering if anyone here had it.

It was at Burghley today, owned by a guy called Rick I think.

Hi SWB,

Firstly, Welcome to The Madhouse wavey

Your Cerb must be the most observed and well known examples on the market.
So many of us watched Edd's work with interest and appreciation thumbup
For me, I was a bit worried that the future owner might inherit engine probs but
when he tried to bargain £1000 off the asking price I just thought "Idiot !"

I see from your profile that you have made less than 1000 entries so I presume
that this is your first TVR biglaugh

Hope that you two have a Fab time together and would be very interested in
your comments for a possible article in the TVR owner's magazine, SPRINT.

PM me if you're interested in contributing.

Best of thumbup

Hi...
If your talking about owning a cerb then it lives up to all expectations and beyond...i get goose bumps every time I start the thing up...never mind driving it...by far the most exciting car I have ever owned...
If your asking about the car itself...i am more than happy with it...it had been in storage for four years after the show and only covered a few hundred miles when I bought it...
There are a few bits and pieces I want I sort but nothing out of the ordinary...
How's your engine going..??

Excellent news

My engine - slowly, a couple of weeks to just sort little things whilst it's all apart then it'll be back

skiworldbros, your car, or rather Wheeler Dealers is/are responsible for me spending 2 years of my life rebuilding mine!

Glad you're enjoying it though.

I'm pretty sure your not the only one...biglaugh
Watching the show made me fall in love with the cerb...a car I knew very little about before hand..
When the wheeler dealers car came up for sale it ticked all my boxes and I have to say I haven't been disappointed in the slightest..
Sorry for any pain my car might have caused you over the last two years..wobble

Hello and welcome to Cerbera ownership...it can be fun...can...

If you haven't already or didn't know anyway, give Richard Thorpe a call at RT Racing. They rebuilt the chassis and there should be a little RT Racing symbol on the top front chassis cross-member under the F1 panel. Did have a picture of it, but typically cant find atm.

They also supplied pretty much all the suspension parts, bits'n'bobs and sent a couple of guys to sort out issues when the car wouldn't start after the WD rebuild. Worth it just to hear a little history if nothing else.

Another vote for Richard at RT Racing

He went well out his way to help me with suspension parts at very short notice, which enabled me to attend the TVR NLCC event in Zolder a couple of years ago

Sadly the event has been cancelled this year due to losses made in previous years - a real shame
