Any views on this from the learn-ed and is a Sagaris engine a good replacement of does it make it a bitsa?

I remember viewing this car whilst on my T350/Tamora search a number of years ago. Chap from Essex selling, perhaps the previous owner.
Folder of receipts was quite impressive and did contain the Str8six engine replacement invoice. I very nearly bought the car but ended up with a Tamora instead.

Worth a view if only to provide any balance on others in the market.

That looks like a bargain at that price!

Erm, what's different in a Sag engine compared to a Tam or T350 4l engine?

Thought they all had the same engines.

Wasn't the T350 originally a 3.6l engine?

Not sure it is a deal breaker having the Sag engine. The character is very different to the 3.6 version. Lazier.

That what I was thinking, it's worth more with the original engine in it?

This is my car - also advertised on Pistonheads. Any questions please feel free to drop me a PM.

You could have a 4.0 as an optional extra, same as the Tuscan, I think

Looks like a nice car at a good price. Why so cheap?

Like that.. I do have T350 based thoughts sometimes, as much as I love my Cerb.

Whatever you do don't drive one, I did and looked what happened to me, 4.0L ones are better imho though so I stuck a 4.5 just to be sure

Thanks, it is!

As to the price, I thought about it for a while and based it on the following considerations:
1. Time of year
2. Price to repaint for the perfectionist (it's not bad at all but there are imperfections on nearly every 'panel')
3. Higher mileage (not something that bothers me but some people prefer unused cars which to me means more problems usually!)

The reason for sale is simple - I bought the car when I ran out of patience waiting for a Cerbera to be rebuilt where the owner was taking his time getting people to do the work, but I still find myself looking at Cerbera adverts every couple of days. I must be mad wanting a Cerbera as this T350 hasn't been any bother at all . . .

Thats a nice car but a shame you're not nearer!
