Just spotted this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Collectors-TVR-CERBERA-built...

Would you pay more for a car just because it was once owned by someone famous?? Or does this have more cred as it was built for him??

Led to believe that when Beckham owned the car it went back to the factory for some work to be done and there was a ladies umbrella in the boot, one of the lads put the handle were the sun don't shine! Several days later there was a picture in a national newspaper of Victoria out shopping in the rain with the brolley and the handle was right next to her face!!

My memory is fading but I dont recall this car going for a fortune when it was sold a few years ago nor do I recall it being that colour or being an AJP. Strange - my memory was of a gold coloured car with a S6 engine and with it having just one plaque. MAybe there were two or maybe I have a poor memory.

O/T The little plate with his name on stating '4.5 lightweight' proves that that is what the factory called them. From memory there was some debate on here as to what 'LW' stood for.

I remember that it was a 4.7 and it may have had a new engine.

We seem to be getting a bit of a hammering from the idiot readers in the comments section at the bottom! Ah well, I'm sure most of them will never own one due to reading the sun and watching Jeremy Kyle rather than working for a living!

Just read the advert......

"Other features that are not found as standard on the Cerbera include:



· Stereo system with 6-disc CD auto-changer (taken from Beckham’s Porsche 911)

· 18” alloy wheels

· Air conditioning

· Privacy glass

· Ice detector

"

Hmmmm, confusedscratchchin do I therefore have a "celebrity model" Cerbera, what with my non standard 18" spiders, non standard air conditioning and non standard ice detector????

Oh, and the bidding is also at £40K - what a bargain!!!! wink

I clocked this in The Sun and thought I'd pop into the Cerb section to see if it had been picked up on.....I wasn't going to be dissappointed was I wink

This bit of the advert led to a choked outburst of laughter:

Bodywork is finished in “Crystal Topaz” an extremely rare, pearlescent blue that was chosen by Victoria Beckham, renowned for her impeccable taste and recognised as an international style icon

Slapper, would be my description biggrin
