Can't believe it happened when I was driving it :wall:

Smelt a strong smell of petrol,then just up the road there was a big bang and the bonnet flew up with flames coming over the windscreen :(

Gutted :(

got to agree, a mate had a cerbera 4.5 for about a year and a half, it spent more time at TVR than it did with him, he said he'd never buy another TVR again.
