do Cerberas have the european vehicle type approval?

[mtomico]

I am considering to buy a Cerbera and, eventually, register it into Europe.
Having the European Vehicle Type Approval may ease things, so I was wondering if Cerberas have it or not.
I've been googling it and found that some late Chimaeras and Griffiths do have it, but not sure about Cerberas.

You can tell if a car has it by looking at the V5, section K. 16 characters starting with e*
Example: e6*98/14/0040*02

Can any gentle Cerbera owner shed some light, please?

Hi Julien.
Thanks for the info,
But the fact that it has been 'homologated somewhere' within the EU does not grant you to register it straight-away in another country member of the EU.
Without the EU whole vehicle type approval, the car can still be exported, but it will require an individual homologation, which can result in months and a couple of thousand grand in modifications.
I know for a fact it's like this at least in France and Spain.
Maybe Bulgarian authorities are less strict. I don't know.

I feel the same. It was a lot easier many years ago because the law was complicated and sometimes open to interpretation, so test engineers wouldn't bother too much.
Unfortunately, that has changed. Auditors become more strict, so test engineers do everything by the book to not to have any trouble with them. I exported a car myself a few years ago and all registration stations I visited would do it like that.

Any owner of a late Cerbera can confirm that it does not have the Type Approval, please? I'm looking at a '99 one.
Thanks.

.... and , No, my Type Approval No does not start with "e*"

Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Cerbera.
Out of curiosity, how does your Type Approval number look?
I thought it would appear as blank if not having the EU Type Approval.

Spain.

Thank you guys for your responses.
It probably sounded like a silly question. It's just this bloody EU vehicle type approval makes a huge difference when exporting the car to the EU. It's a shame Cerberas don't have it
