Struggling to locate a 'local' Cerbera to have a look at, trade or otherwise...

If its not too presumptious - anyone in the SW19 area who might be prepared to allow a 'viewing'? Not to buy (although that is my objective) just to have a look round so I have something to compare against in the ongoing search?

Keen to get involved, but Fernhurst have none in right now, and Mole Valley have one the one which I'm struggle to make arrangements to get in to see.

I don't want to go wandering round the countryside to private sellers without having half a clue at least!

Apologies if it's a hair brained scheme!

Phil.

Not hair brained at all mate! Petclub recently did the same thing with mine (oh,missus!) Try and get to a local TVRCC or PH meet. Most owners will be happy to show you around their cars.

Hiya

You are between two regions of the TVRCC & theres plenty of people out there who would be happy to meet.

Surrey meet tonight so it might be too short notice, but our mob (SE London & NW Kent) meet on Monday night (26th) at Dunton Green near Sevenoaks, let me k now if you plan to come & I will try to make sure a couple of the local Cerbies come along

All the best

That would be fantastic...!

I actually have someone coming round to rework the paintwork on the Golf Monday, so driving may be 'out' depending on how long paint takes to dry nowadays tumbleweed

Worst case - assuming paint is still doing its thing - it this place accessible by public transport? yikes

... and of course, thought I'm keen bounce don't want to put anyone out if the Cerbs aren't planning to be out to play ...

I think theres a BR station at Dunton Green, which would be about ten minutes walk from the pub. Im sure I could get you back to Bromley if thats any help

Drop me a line via my profile if you need any more info.

I live south of Guidlford , so you can zip down the A3 and have a look at my cerb and I can take you out for a spin.

Phil - I'm in Putney. Drop me an email. Hopefully I'll be back on line at home by the time it gets through!

Putney has to be a winner... no offence to the meet that is of course

I'll be down there as soon as, but from a timing perspective, I think if I can work something out in Putney, it's got to be the obvious choice...

Thanks again! And hopefully see you soon driving

Phil.

Just been chatting to NCS. I have a Cerbie 4.5 l/w(2000) and will probably be at the NW kent meet on Monday(R & C Dunton Green) , you're welcome to have a look over it, ride out in it and ask any questions you may have.
Cheers

Hi Phil,

I'm the RO for the TVRCC in Surrey, although a good number of our folks are in the SW London area. I also have a Cerb. Unfortunately you missed our meet last night, but if I can be of assistance in terms a run down of local dealers and independents, or anything else TVR related, give me a shout either via this thread or through profile.

Good luck with your search,

Steve.

Rynes Park is even better!

Suddenly feeling very spoilt...

I am disappearing until Sat evening now, but will try and arrange a look at a Cerb this weekend if at all possible... perhaps Sunday morning?

I'd recommend a trip to Fernies, but unusually they have no Cerbs.

Not a silly move at all. I spotted one in a company car park and enquired who the owner was. he was more than happy to spend some time showing me what to look for. - Or is it TVR owners are just happy talking about their cars

Nick,

For whatever reason I can't email you on PH confused

... hence the post.

Will come down to Dunton Green tomorrow (Mon 26th) if you can get me the times & details. Will drive with the other half if the painting is done in time, otherwise public transport!

I'll be online all day tomorrow, so if you could let me know if there will be any Cerbs around, that would obviously be useful too.

Thanks in advance.

Mr.Cerbera
