Picked up my first Cerbera on Sat, and let me just say.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've had Griff's for the last 5 years, always loved them and was certain I'd never sell my last one. But, after 3 years, more money than I care to remember, and a fair bit of heartache, I part ex'd her for my new Cerbera - No Regrets At All!!!

These cars are stunning, and I thought my Griff used to pop and crackle....this Cerb is just plain mad!! evil


I'll no doubt have loads of questions as I get used to it and it's "charms"....(already had my first problem, stopped for a break on the way home yesterday and found none of the doors would open....happy days! Still, quick fix and all sorted - not going to let that spoil my fun bounce!!)

It needs a few things doing to it, the interior isn't exactly to my taste and for some reason a previous owner stuck an aerial on the roof!!! Not to worry though, will all get sorted over time, and if I'm honest it was the colour that sold it for me so all the little issues were soon forgotten!

Few pics I took today whilst enjoying the sunshine smile

Cheers for the welcome and comments thumbup

Just been out for another quick run, think I might have to phone the insurance and up my mileage limit for the year!!! driving

Mr S, will try and get some interior pics up soon, it's an interesting combination! The leather is a pale green, carpet dark green and then we have the door panels and roof lining in...............hessian! hippy

Oh well, I'll put up with it for now biggrin

I am picking mine up in a couple of weeks can't wait. If yours is an early 4.2 like mine is they start pulling like a madman at around 5000 RPM when a 5 Litre Chim or Griff is just starting to run out of puff..

Excellent, welcome to the club smile

Having just spent the weekend in the company of Nickccc's white Cerb again, you better prepare yourself for lots of attention (at petrol stations, shops, ATMs, trackside etc etc hehe). Sure is purdy smile Much better than them there boring colours hehe

Who was the previous owner? There's only 3 or 4 white Cerbs that I know of and all have been on PH at some time or other.

You're not wrong there!! They really are in a different league to the Rover V8's, wierd thing is it actually feels more driveable on a daily basis as well, don't know what took me so long to finally get one! Bet you're counting down the days, congrats! thumbup

biggrin For some reason, I thought with it not been a convertible it'd attract less attention.....wrong!!! I'm not the best person when it comes to public attention, I tend to smile, say thanks, and sink lower in my seat! laugh Oh well, better get used to it!

Not sure if the last owner was a PH'er, if anyone know's any background on her that would be great - been on a few private plates but currently on it's original R147 plate - anyone know it?

Funny you mention Nicks Cerb, it was his one that caught my attention and when I saw this one for sale I had to get it. Always wanted a white car, so a white Cerb is heaven cloud9

Will be in touch soon then, can't drive her enough at the minute! Fairly sure Mark will soon get bored with all my questions though! wink
