Totally gutted,killed my bruv in-laws TVR...........
He bought it yesterday,Cerbera 4.2 
Let me take it for a spin today,and I brought it back like this:
Can't believe it happened when I was driving it
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
