First of all.....hello people! im toying with the idea of selling my tvr cerbera to buy a bike engined kit car such as the westfield megablade, or i quite like the look of the stm zx9 on the classifieds on pistonheads(anyone know it or its owner?). Anyway, i want a bike engine as im not allowed a real bike, heh heh, and its the closest thing ill get to owning one. Its going to be my 2nd car as i have another for work/commute/etc. All the maintenance will be done by myself being a mech engineer by trade.

I was wondering if there was anyone near Oxfordshire area i could meet up with to chat with/be taken out in your bec?

If its the Orange one with the cage then its a chap called Ben Marriot. I think several people on here know him personally and from what Ive seen it looks a very nice build so should make a good buy.

Im probably a little too far away for you in north Hants (about 1hr 15m from Oxford), but you're welcome to pop in if you're down this way.

Chris

PS If you buy it and don't want the cage I'll buy it off you!

Where abouts in Oxfordshire are you Toady1?

I'm building a Megablade at the moment. Won't be ready for a drive for a few months (workload depending) but your welcome to have a ride if you're still thinking when its running

Noooo, you cant sell your cerbera - theyre my dream car! I want one.... your making me upset now, realising that i still cant afford one!


Tom

I am in essex which is probably too far if ever in the area your welcome to visit.

iIhave a blackbird mk and my brother a ZX12r mk so gives you a choice to look at,

My blackbird should be back on the road by the weekend.

Good luck with the hunting you wont be dissapointed.

Sean

You certainly won't be the only one - had a guy call about mine who was doing the same.

Incidentally Oxford is pretty close to South Wales really... I know a great car for sale there.... blah blah.....

Hi there,

I live just south of Oxford in Abingdon and I've just built a Fisher Fury Spider Fireblade.

You're more than welcome to come and have a look if you'd like at some point.

I'm getting itchy feet to start another build again so you never know if you really like it........

Anyway, let me know if you're interested via u2u.

Cheers,

Matthew

if you are interested in buying the car, I know Ben and can put you in touch. I've been in the car in the past and I think its very nicely put together. Stuart Taylor has had it on his stand area at Donnington a year or two ago - so that should give you an idea of what standard its built to.

Sound like i'm going to go into sales pitch here but ......... to give you an idea of the standard, he had the original climbing frame (full stuart taylor cage) removed and replaced with a T45 one (lighter and just as strong - if not stronger) build specially for the car by caged and then sprayed to match the car.

Xy - That would be good to come and see yours cheers! your only up the road too! To be honest with you tho im after something like the westie megablade, but id really appreciate being able to see yours, and how well it goes with the fireblade engine/box in!!!!

Bens car is sold, but if your ever up in Leicester, I have a ZX9r powered Sylva Striker, A mate martin has a ZX9r powered Fury, and james has a honda powered Indy.
