Yep it didn't take long. This time last year I didnt knwo what a Cerbie was a nd knew sweet fa about TVRs full stop. I drove a 406 coupe and had set my heart on a Pantera (too bloody rare..) or even a Jalpa or Miura. Then I sat in a jam in N London and wondered what the bloody racket was. There she was. A blue cerbie with cream interior with Sports pipes. Bloody hell. Back home - PC on research. You what ? You can pick one up for £20k or less 2nd hand. Right I'm in. I've seen the same one a few times in London now and I need to know where I can pay and drive one for a day ? Any idea ? I expect to buy one next year but would like to get the fell for one first. I'm a tad worried about the reliability and poo scared about stacking one. (No traction control, no ABS...hmmm...) but it may be irrational and I may be stretching my budget..but hey I'll just have to work a little harder thats all.

Rather than rent one for a day or two can you go anywhere and drive one around a track ? Any help appreciated. Christ I get a thrill from pushing my 2.2 Coupe. Cannot wait to feel that rumble and hear that grumble.

Try the TVR Centre in Barnet, think they want about £285 for a day, and they'll have a couple of decent ones for you to look at while your there...

Appreciated. I'll try and get in there tomorrow or Saturday as Santa has promised me one for a day or two. I saw sportscarhire.net and they wanted £450 for four days from Saturday.

Clarkyboy - get yourself along to one of the many PH or TVRCC events in your area.

I'm sure there are a number of Cerbera owners who would be happy to talk/demonstrate what you're missing.
