Hi All

I did a queation ages ago about "how many miles has your Cerb done?"

Now I want to know, "How many miles have YOU actually driven your Cerbera?"

Kind regards
Simon

Does anyone really know?

Odometers that stick at *9999, and Speedo sensors that can easily fail...

I have only a vague idea how far I've driven, perhaps 30k

Not bad considering it has spent most of the last 7 years on axle stands

About 42K miles? I think it was on 18K when I got it and it's now on over 60K. Not bad considering it was off the raod for 10 months for a full body off chassis restore, 7 months for the engine rebuild...

Most was about 1500 miles on a french weekend, but it also does trips to Le Mans, Spa etc every year.

About 6-7k in 7yrs for me.. paperbag

Issue is, I spend too much time fiddling (through choice), not enough driving it.

Mapped by Joolz 2 weeks ago, it's been parked up since waiting for an x-pipe.

Was 23,500 miles when I bought it in March 06.
Now 80,500 miles, So 57k in 13+ years, about 4,350 a year average.

I have done about 25 trips of 700+ miles in one day, so a lot of the mileage is motorway cruising.

I did about 30k miles in my first one, which I owned for just under 4 years from 2006 to 2010.

Have done 3k miles in the one I collected on June 1st last year.

Cerbera in Switzerland a few years ago.

Bought in 2003 with 15,000 miles. Now just passed 80,000 miles. Most of the miles racked up touring Europe including most of the Alpine passes and as far as the Amalfi Coast. Just got back from a trip but not in the Cerbera as I took my Alfa and have to say I may have retired it a little prematurely as I missed the drama and luggage space!



Alfa at the top of Timmelsjoch this weekend on the day the pass opened.

This year the car has moved about 10 metres under its own power until I noticed a split fuel return hose.
