According to sky, it's the TVR Cerbera this week :mrgreen:

Re: Potential Bargain Elise on Ebay?

My experience of cars like these is that there is always some form of cover up how ever innocent its made to look.

Ask him if its possible to contact the old owner?

Handy this week when my runaround is of the road though.
