Well, after owning a Griff to two years I sold it the weekend before easter to DustyC.

This has allowed me to make a slight alteration to the Lake garage

I picked up my new toy on Saturday

In the imortal words of Rolf Harris.... "Can you guess what it is yet?"

Yup, I have got myself a Cerbera 4.5 LW.

It is stunning, both in terms of looks, performance and handling.

Well done TVR for producing such an amazing car

And before you lot all start compaining about "pointless threads" and "no photo!" ........

Perfect colour - I looked for one like that for about 6 months, gave up eventually and bought a light blue one. Now if you want to swap it .........

Wow, that’s great, how many miles so far then?

Shame I couldn’t make it on Sunday but I had the Griff in bits, suppose I’ll have to wait until the next Monday meet to see it now, I’ll be looking forward to it.

Lake, Congratulations, It's the same colour as mine. There's now one in Essex and Kent. I also sold my Griff for mine. You WILL NOT be disappointed. One question, does your's say muticoloured on the logbook or Reflex Purple. Just curious?

Lake


That’s not good enough

No re-trimmed the dash board, the wood was so badly cracked it really needed doing so took the dash panel out, then decided to take the main dash out gave it all a clean then put it back together with the dash trimmed in green leather, I also fitted a new microwave senor for the alarm with the warn away.

Suspension is next month now

Of course after seeing your Cerb in the flesh I’ll probably want to get rid of mine and get a Cerb as well, like I don’t already

Like yours the log book states multicoloured.

This car was an essex car until Saturday, apparently it did go to some of the mid essex meets many years ago.

I don't think there is any confusion as the person who told me was the previous owner of the car. He had taken it then a few times a while ago. Anyway, next time I am up at the essex meet we will have to compare notes

Well done Lake! Looks fantastic.

I have managed over 1000 miles now and only drive it at the weekends so you have a lot of catching up to do!
Next weekends 500+ mile trip already planned!

Look after it like you looked after this one. It really is great thanks. I might pester you with some questions later though with reference to an alien* sound. Want to know if you ever heard it.

*alien = out of place, not monster like!
