And.. The car started immediately, no missing, no lumpy tickover, Just a strong even sound.. It was joyous.
It made an old man very happy.. It was so cold I didn't feel the glorious heated seats for 10 mins. I love this car... :D
This is my first winter with a zed. I am impressed.
My car history is TVR and Alfa and I couldnt agree more. I have had my Z 6 months and am staggered by how much better it is in quality of build and usability.

They don't necessarily - a mate of mine sold a Cerbera to another mate some years ago and he used it as a daily driver for over a year with no issues.

I think so many people have issues with them because they don't use them often enough!
Coupes because stunning!

I’ve owned a TVR https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... ra/9171157 for a number of years and it proved to be very reliable. Most of them have been pretty well sorted by now so the reputation they have is somewhat unfair. And that V8 noise can’t be beaten. :D
