This one? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1548555.htm

If so I think it looks great, although I think I would get the steering wheel re-trimmed in a different colour.

The only Sapphire black one I can find (with pod lights and black wheels) is, per the register:-

35 4.5LW 2000 N4RFF Sapphire Black big_treacle Feb 2006 No way Engine rebuilt 2008 - I love my car ;D

But its a 2000 and higher miles.

If it's the one in the advert - that's a lovely looking Cerb!

Welcome - you are one of a select few with one of the most exilerating cars on the planet. Also, if you have the 4.5 you probably have the "ultimate" Cerb, perhaps ulimate TVR..... (que reaction from Sag crew, or the 1 or 2 who are luck enough to have experienced the Speed 12 or Typhon?)

Dunno about your driving background (your profile is a bit "light" wink ), but learn the car, do some wet grip days or track days to get to know the car in a safer environment than the public road, and just ENJOY the whole experience. It will be a rollercoaster - unbelieveable highs rotate and totally frustrating bang your head on a brick wall lows banghead , but on balence it's probabaly the best decision you've made - it's such a special car that even driving it to Tesco's is an experience.

Get some miles under the wheels, get it fettled by a well known TVR specialist, spend the money fixing all the inevitable little "foibles" and "upgrades" to make the car truely yours, and just enjoy the whole experience..... Yes, you will end up spending more money on it than you ever planned. Yes, you will have a silly grin plastered over your face when you take it out (either cruzzin or going for a good blat). Yes, your heart should flutter when you open up the garage door and you realise that THIS IS YOUR CAR! Enjoy an almost pornographic experience washing the gorgeous voluptous curves...... (oops, is that just me? paperbag )

Have fun - and get yourself to Chatsworth for April 24th / 25th to meet some other suitably derranged owners......

Exactly what He says - Amazing cars, but get used to it before you hammer it, I don't kone what your Motoring background is either, but if it's from 'normal' cars, then treat it differently, and ALWAYS keep the revs low till it's warmed up.
Enjoy it Mate, they are special, very special. smile
