Just suffering another episode of Grand Designs and I see Kevin McCloud getting his overalls out of the boot of s Cerbera, I presume his own.

Yes I think it was his own, a pink 4.2 if I remember. He also said he owned a Cerb when he went on Top Gear

He has a V8 fettish IIRC. He said all his electrics went haywire. He's resorted to AMartins I think. Still at least he appreciates a Cerbera as a Grand Design laugh

From memory I think he said it was like buying a kit car in reverse...he bought it complete and it slowly dismantled itself!

He said it tongue in cheek and I think there was some affection in there somewhere!

I then bought Kevs Car. It was a 4.2 P Reg.

He told me that it had an aversion for hedges, and that it was an engine out job to replace starter motor. Hmm he was taken for a ride.

Sold it to Dream machines as px for a new t350t. This car was absolute rubbish and sadly I had a few years away from TVR's. However I now own a Blue 4.5 Cerb.
