Looked at my mileage reading today and couldn't believe what I saw. I've done just under a thousand miles in my first week of ownership!! (And loved every mile of it). I gotta slow down cos I’ll have 50K on the clock by next summer!

Has anyone done similar in their first week of owning one of these magnificent machines???

Still not a sight of another Cerb yet, which I'm disappointed with, plenty of Tuscans though. Side by side with a Tuscan on the A13 yesterday, same colour and wheels, must have looked a beautiful sight for all the spectators.

Still can’t believe the attention this car gets, especially from the ladies. Definitely adds inches chaps!!!


P.S. Apologies to Mr. Honda 600CC Motorbike & Mr. 996 Porker for embarrassing you both, yes they are really that quick.

I've had mine for just under 1 month now, and have managed to knotch up 1,800miles already!!!

Cant actually figure out how I did all that milage, but seeing as how I find any excuse to drive these days - I'm sure its genuine

You should probably turn up to one of the local TVR club meetings to meet fellow enthusiasts. www.tvrcc.com/regions.htm


I've been too busy to go to my local meets so far, but definetely will try to get to next months meet.

5000 in the first month of Chimaera 450 ownership. I was nipping down to Dorset for the day, and then nipping round Dorset when I got there! I felt almost sheepish when I took it in for the 6000 service, they were quite surprised...

Gotta get my hooks into a cerbie one of thses days, praps I'll rent one midweek one of these days...

Three years ago now, my best Cerbera week was 1750 miles and included 2 days on the Nordschleife, 2 days at Spa and half a day at the TVRCC track day at Snetterton on my way home.
