20 Years Today

[notaping]

20 years ownership today.



Best 12k I've ever spent. Err! - forget the cost of the resto. Every journey's still a hoot.

Monday's trip. Only grounded it 3 times (on 3 ferries)

Congratulations!!! I'm about 3 months ahead of you!!! In fact there are a number of us on here that bought about 20 years ago.

As to whether it was a good buy - the fact that we still have the car says it all!!!

And if you're ever in doubt, just go for a "gentle" drive!!!

I presume you'll be having a party for the car?

Cheers

It'll be 20 years for me next March. I've added 70k smile-filled miles in that time

Congratulations!

Congrats, they do tend to stick with the right people. Im 22 years and 95k miles with mine, though it’s currently in bits….

I bought mine 14 years ago

I thought I'd bought a car, in fact I'd aquired an all consuming hobby, that rarely worked

But when it does... It's truely sublime

Cheers all.

No party, but I did raise a glass, and many presents throughout the year, including - ACT big bore system, new condenser and recommissioned A/C after a hawk took off from some road kill just as I was passing and smashed the number plate and punctured the old condenser. The Cerb did win the overall battle though. - and finally refurbed wheels.

All in all, she did pretty well this year. So far.

So 20 years ago was a Cerbera thing? Congrats! Bought my T350c five years later...

Just being nosy, did you buy it based purely on the eBay advert or did you view it in person? Quite a gamble if you didn’t view it, but luck was clearly on your side if you still have it.

I had to go and look on my V5... Apparently it's a little over 15yrs for me!!

Never fails to bring a smile to my face.

20yrs 3mths 2days for me but who's counting?

Driven 75K miles and spent around £75K on Her in all that time. Looking over past receipts makes an interesting read but every penny spent is absolutely worth it

It's a good job you get as many "Smiles per Mile" as you do in a Cerb

Here's to the next 20K miles and years, if I'm still able to drive Her by then

So true, Mate

Yup Gordon , Aug 20 will be my 20th year since bringing BlackBeauty © over with me on that fateful EuroTunnel trip.
So much more enjoyable, rewarding and interesting than any other car I've owned.
Even though she's been on Axle Stands for a ? of the life that she's spent with me, we've still clocked 70K together.
Thank you, Peter, for your insanity
