JamesG Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'll be putting my Supra up for sale quite soon, and I've spent the last few weeks thinking about a car to replace it. I'm now 90% sure I'll be getting a TVR Cerbera, but I've just spotted the most beautiful looking car on Pistonheads. It's probably not what you're expecting, but it's very very special and I can't stop looking at it! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/124104.htm Any opinions?

fat_controller Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 bmw e46 m3, convertible would be even better too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah its a Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda, 1969, you will find it very slow after a Supra, a mate had one not all that i'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 You couldn't get much different to a TVR! I can appreicate the classic lines and style of the mercedes for sure, but thats an awful lot of money. Could you live with the lack of performance and handling? I'll tell you something I bet it is much better built and more reliable than a TVR. Do love the noise looks and performance of the cerbera for sure tho.

colsoop Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 That would be a total change from the Supra. I like it, what is it going to cost to run and how bad do they depreciate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 That would be a total change from the Supra. I like it, what is it going to cost to run and how bad do they depreciate ? Probably not as much as a Cerbera, and I doubt it would depreciate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think you'd have to be mental to buy a Cerbera while Smolenski owns TVR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god the LC would ruin you and the parts you can get are extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 What about a Nissan 280Z with a Supra engine? Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah the 240Z is very cool, but I've done the whole japanese car thing now. Much as I hate to admit it on the supra forum, but my elise is soooo much more fun to drive than the supra. I know whatever I choose won't be as good a car as the supra, but it's got to be fun, unusual and as impractical as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Just as well I could live with one unreliable car and a daily driver, but not two Maybe I'm too cautious with relaible cars (civic and supra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 I was pretty obsessed about reliable cars too, but I've now decided it's not the most important thing. When stuff goes wrong, it's usually a good learning experience to put it right! The throttle linkage in my elise snapped recently. It was close to home so I wasn't too badly stranded I got a friend to make me up a new bracket and i had to drill out the old rivet from the throttle pedal (while balanced upside down) and bolt the new bracket in place. I'm not that mechanically minded so it was quite a sense of achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
