A few years ago I sold my TVR Tuscan due to collecting 11 points on my licence within a very short space of time I have returned but this time with a 2003 Cerbera SP6. And it's a STUNNER.

I thought I had scratched the itch with the Tuscan but It never went away will it ever?

This time I went for the Cerbera to be honest it was a Cerb I wanted before i got my Tuscan (2001) but I test drove a few but just didn't connect. When I drove the Tuscan it was Fab and I really liked the flexibility with the removable roof and rear window I had it for 2.5 years 9k miles and apart from replacing a battery no problems at all. I also prefered the SP6 to the AJP yes I know this will be frowed apon but a properly set up SP6 is superb.

So what do you think?






Im of to Japan tommorow so wont get the car until a week on Tuesday...AAGGHHH

You betwavey I was just coming out the house when a blue Tusaca W33 NOB went past, sounded great.
I think there's another Cerbera a Tuscan S and a Tuscan Convertable nocking about also.

Hi the documents say its Starmist Grey. It has a nice fine silver fleck in it but to be honest It was a little bit dirty but I think its one of those colours that will change very slightly depending on the sunlight.

I like it, and I can't wait to get behind the wheel. Externally and internally it's in real good condition, lets just hope mechanically its OK.

The guy with the Tuscan is from Bathgate way I think, was talking to him in the B&Q carpark recently there is my Cerb not far from you and another blue one not far away either, also a couple of Chimaeras, just wish mine would hurry up and get better soonmad

Ok, I thought I'd found another highland Cerb, I suppose it is a little lighter though, nice none the less thumbup

That's a great colour. Had a car in Charcol Grey Metallic which from the pic looked similar and I wish my tired old interior looked like that. Lovely.

Collected the car yesterday but because of the rain It went straight into my Garage. It's dry today and Ive just returned from a 45 min blast and I,m well impressed it drives really well and everything works ok (finger crossed) I haven't opened it up yet iv,e kinda just been pottling about so far. I,ll leave the loud pedal alone for a while.
Clay barred it this morning and gave it a coat of wax and it's came up really nice, I really like the colour combination with the exterior and interior and it,s in really good condition which will make it easier for me to look after.

I had a good experience with Tuscan ownership here's hoping that Cerb ownership is as enjoyable.

Here's the pics..

I am sure I recognise the plate - there used to be a dark coloured Cerb in Godalming in Surrey with that plate I think, assume it might be same car...
Looks great. I have never driven a S6 car but am a member of the AJP V8 bandwagon with no objective reason. The roads round my way are rubbish and I sometime wonder whether the S6 Cerb dynamics (eg softer suspension and different driving character) might suit my needs better....

That looks great, I am across the road from you in the old Larbert High school with a Blue 2001 Speed Six Cerb.


Tom, you got your beast back yet?

Hi, I bought the car from a couple beside the new larbert high, but I'm up in Falkirk near the hospital.
