And noticed that somebody already has.

What a bargain, got to be one of the last few Cerbs made aswell.

I expect to see this advertised by a dealer soon at £24K

Guilty! I am now the excited owner of this fantastic car.

And no, I'm not a dealer either.

A good start to 2008 me thinks.

Exactly smile

If you consider there's another thread running where the buyer is looking at a 97 car at £12k, in theory this 2003 purchase means £6k deprciation in six years. Can't be bad.

I've got too many cars around at the moment, but otherwise, I would have definately gone go see it.

Congrats thumbup

Good buy that, and likely will have the 4.5 bottom end but with 4.2 induction if rumours run true about the late 4.2's... should make it quite fruity biggrin - I would guess the interior maybe the only stumbling point for top dollar, it wouldn't be my first choice (no offence meant to you Crystal-T, it's still a cracking looking car and if it meant you got a great car at a great price then it's all good).

Oi shut it you slaaaag, classic british colour mine, for queen and country.. what what.biggrin

I wasn't being rude (least not intentionally) and it's far from being nasty - there have been some truly nasty combo's come along in the past, like this one in the classifieds that went all wrong



It's the driving em that matters at the end of the day.

Now, now gents......playful banter is always amusing. Regarding the interior, I accept it will not be to everyones liking, but isn't one of the great attributes to TVR ownership being the ability to tailor and customise. Not seen any evidence of such flexibility in a 993...6....or 7. But then the interiors on those fine marques are I'm told, teutronic, whatever that means. And I used to be a porker owner though back in the days when only a red one sir with a whale tail spoiler would do.

The colour sceheme on my new, brilliantly sorted car is light enough to make, in my opinion the driving experience less claustrophobic, which for someone who only took possession yesterday and drove into work this morning made the experience all the more pleasurable.

Keep the opinions coming...........!

Good Lordeek

If the door panels were the same colour as the steering wheel and done in Anaglypta Wallpaper it would not be so bad.hehe

Nice purchase though

Just so everyone is clear, the picture shown on this thread is NOT OF MY CAR. Mine has a Portland grey with Paris Blue seat inserts and a light blue alcantara headlining.

Nice....

Looks lovely. Nice and clean interior - seems no one escapes the water staining in the footwell though. I thought I read somewhere the late Cerbs had a larger windscreen (I've a '97) but this one looks no different unless it's very minute difference.

Buffoon - please don't feel I was being defensive or obtuse. Merely protective of my new purchase, given the colour combo of the pictured Cerbie leaves alot (in my mere opinion) to be desired. Appreciate your welcome and feedback as well as everyone else who has been so nice.
