I know, but I doubt they make them in pearlescent pink.

Re: Look just what turned up in my road ...

My best friend bought a racing green 1998 Cerbera 4.2 a few months ago.

Having been a massive long distance dreamer with regards to Cerbies, I was very excited to see a friend had bought one.

Not quite the same when your actually in the thing though, sounds like a bag of spanners at idle from cold, interior wears very badly and looks tatty, however loved all the custom switches and quirks.

Most dissapointing for me was the noise, I have always grinned/dribbled when I was behind any TVR, but this one just sounded like a VERY loud chavved up car, more loud than any descernible acoustic pleasure (could have been due to some silly exhaust fitted by the last owner...I could hear the car from miles away).

Then to top it off, the crankshaft broke last week (30k mile car), and needs a new engine or a rebuild, both quoted at £6-8k.

I still want one though .....in a deep metallic blue with the big alloys

My mate has a 350c as a toy looks good and sounds good but he has just ordered a 159 as his everyday car.

Re: Look just what turned up in my road ...

Guess I'm just to old to appreciate a bland looking, jelly-mould, crash helmet material, GRP covered, V8 Engine, transmission, and running gear machine!

Memories of a Lotus Elan, that used to burn my old 'E' off regularly,(on the twisties, never the straights ) until one day I saw it smouldering in the ditch, on the 'twistie' route, looking like a large burnt out straw bale!: Never did discover what happened to the owner driver??

Definitely not ... the bloke said he'd never owned an Alfa!!!! (I know I did try and educate him) ... although he did say that the 8C looked quite nice ...
