got stuck in mine on the test drive. took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to get in then about 15 to figure out how to escape the bloody thing. most amusing watching passengers trying to figure out how to get out the car if they'd not been in it before though.

I know for the cash they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO tempting! just really apprihensive about getting one of the newer ones and having HUGE bills on it..........I really need to find out the deal with teh AJP lumps as a 4.5 cerbera might be an option as well. Not to keen on the straight 6's

Cerebras with the AJP8 are faster, more reliable and over all better than a Tuscan.

But they don't look as sexy and are SOOOOO claustrophioc to drive!!!

its like looking out a telephone box!!!

AND you cant take the roof off which is a MASSIVE part of me wanting a Tuscan!

Ive got a Cerbera with the 4.2 AJP and used to have a Griff 500. The Griff has so much low down torque it is really effortless to drive. The Cerbera's power is delivered much higher up the rev range but is the much quicker car. Realistically there is no difference power-wise between the 4.2 and 4.5 AJP altho more power can be had from the 4.5 with a remap and new induction set up.

i had a chimaera 450 for 4 years, was fantastic! never let me down, i did have a few niggles... nothing major though! was pretty quick, sounds and looks amazing! i miss all the waves and comments i used to get pretty economical too 29mpg on an 85-90 motroway run back from the Ring

Servicing can get abit expensive as its every year/6000 miles... if i could of afforded to do 25k a year in it it would of

they are proper lairy in the wet! no ABS, no TC and no airbags or crash protection... you crash at high speed you die simple

sold mine for a steal too

looked at getting a T350, but when for the Z4M "nearest thing to a german TVR" Coupe instead LOL

dont really get involved with that here..........only other stuff cleared through there would be through LIFFE (for traded options; equities etc)
