During my Griff search Ive seen a good priced Cerbera 4.2 for sale.
Email me for details if you are interested.
(Would have emailed you but no link in your profile?)

I've just text him to bring his attention to your plight Dusty .

Schnozz,

Does this mean the 4ltr Chimaera 'v' 5ltr Griffith Le Mans challenge could be off ???

Or is going to be the 4.2ltr Cerberra 'v' 5ltr Griffith challenge instead ???

If I were you I wouldn't let me near it last time I drove a 4.2 in anger it snapped it's crankshaft !! Oooopps !

[DustyC]

Careful Johno, there is a history of those black griffs having many more problems then that

to be honest mate I did make a decision to keep the soft top at least through this summer and touring through France and Spain I cant imagine it being rivalled with a fixed roof.

But having said that, I just keep being drawn to the cerbera. Will see how I feel after this summer, but I just cant imagine not being able to lower the roof. I am sure I remember you snapping the crankshaft - wasnt it on a trackday?

anyways, hope all is well. You will have to come and find us at LM for a few bevvies. We should be there by Thursday pm in Houx mate.

BTW Johno, did I mention the Chim 4 litre -v- Griff 500 is a luggage competition for who can carry the most?

PPS - the downforce on the chim may assist in my challenge www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=85270&f=25&h=0

Plus you shouldnt have any worries being beaten down there by other faster cars since Mungo said he cant make it this year

Know what you mean about the Cerb , shnozz, been seriously considering it myself. However I've invested so much now and will never realistically recoup the majority of it. Besides it'll be rude not to run the old S for at least the summer, then we'll see .

Can't blame you I s'pose .... They are fantastic to drive and deliver the performance I wish the Griffith had.

The sensation of hitting 1.5 units and it is pulling like a train was/is rather pleasant.

But I am the sam eas you. A lot of the fun is without roof, and therefore to be stuck in tin top design with mediocre to poor a/c ..... no thanx

I will place on the coat of flame retardant material as the Cerberra owners with working a/c flame me down !!
