I cant think of anything that could replace it,but coming second could be another XK,but this time an R version.Lowered,sports exhaust,and de-limited.Third could be a Corvette.

Anyone else?

At the risk of being predictable...

...another Cerb! boxedin Sorry!

I've thought about this long and hard, and I really don't think that there's a comparable car. Particularly since I use all four seats in mine.

1. Speed 12 or the Batmobile - same thing really!!
2. Corvette Z06 7.0
3. GT40

Think I'll always keep the Cerb though - it's too good to let someone else enjoy it!!

thumbup Doubt it would have the sense of occaision as first firing up the Cerb/ not convinced on the interior... still too pricey, and like yourself, this would be an addition to the fleet rather than a replacement.

T350
NSX
360 Spider
550 Maranello
Gallardo
DB9
V8 Vantage

Can't think of much else that I'd want to replace.

Now if it's a question of what I'd have bought if the Cerb didn't exist (i.e. for the same money I paid) it would have to have been an NSX.

For the money, what else would turn heads like the cerb?

The interior is no comparison to a Cerb' but there's a lovely Ultima in the classifieds. yes

A sports bike appeals but I've always resisted as I know I'd end up in a wooden box!

A wild Exige Mk2 may well eventually replace the Cerb' but only when the Cerb' becomes boring, and I don't see that happening in the forseeable future.

Problem with Cerbs is the looks & noise is just un-matched by any other reasonably priced machinery. I've often dabbled with the thought of a Tuscan S, in black with carbon cans & all that malarkey, but then i have a Sunday like yesterday, when the whole family comes out for a drive, & you realize, there's nothing for the money to compare!

A doll with real hair sounds like an option though scratchchin

The new Marcos TSO looks very good and claims 460 bhp!
Looks about the closed thing to a cerb replacement these days although it has a yankie V8!
Similar price to the cerb when new too, at around £50k



Other ones i'd consider around the £40k mark.
Sagaris, Ferrari 550 marinello, Diablo.

For the same value as my cerb is now though I don't think I could find anything to replace it.
Maybe a chimp 500, Jag XKR, or a few extra £'s for a T350.

Still rather have a cerb though

I think the 8.3 liter v-10 in one of these with a $85k price ticket might get me quite interested - even if it is a left hooker

I guess it all depends on how much money you have. And after the trials and tribulations and expense of owning Cerb, I think I;d settle for an NSX, It's affordable, sensible running costs, rare, beautiful, looking never goes wrong, and it's a car you can use as your every day transport. I dont think anything can, or ever will, compare to that 'sense of occasion' that a Cerbera gives you though.

Porker 928 was my dream car for many years. I`ve got a feeling it`d be a step backwards now, though. Had a look at a Marcos yesterday, but it`s out of my reach..... 993, 996 ?

IMO - The Marcos still looks like a Kit car - and it has a really silly name - they should have shortened it to MRC or something. I can't help but think of Imelda and her shoe collection when I hear the name Marcos.

Just doesn't feel right.

550 Maranello...sounds a bit better or back to a GT3 - they really are special things to drive.

In fact, I wouldn't mind a 512TR or better still a 1995 F512M - they are quite stunning for the money.

I had a 928 GTS and it was a fantasic car, particularly on the autobahns. However, it doesn't have the 'beast' factor of a Cerb.
