I'm a private buyer always wanted one since its launch. Looking at AJP's so if your thinking of selling drop me a line or mail. I'm in the south close to heathrow but willing to travel far if the right one comes up.

Hi Paul

There's over 20 AJP engined Cerbs in the Pistonheads Classifieds. Not a bad starting point as often known cars come up here for sale.

Also 14 on a certain car trader site/magazine - I know, as also looking for the perfect 4.5 that's right for me.

6.5 years ago I looked at 15 before I found my perfect Cerb. There are dogs around at dealers as well as privately owned examples.

Take your time and get any possible purchase checked over by someone who knows what faults they're looking for.

Buy on condition (age and mileage are less relevant)

Regards

I was also holding out for a 4.5 but eventually bought a complete minter 4.2 and havent regretted it at all. it was seriously box fresh with 20k on it. I preferred this to a compromised 4.5 so look about.

Thanks simon, been looking for a couple of months now, I have checked the ones on all websites, one or two have grabbed me but further digging reveals some things I'm a little uncomfortable with.

Im hoping a current owner is umming and arring about selling, hasnt listed it and this might prompt them to get in touch......Im offering a very good home!

Well I haven't got my heart set on a particular colour scheme, I'm open to almost all. The only thing I would rule out is a yellow one. Im not that keen on just red for interior, red/cream or other combo wouldnt deter me. If it was a peach of a car outside and good price Im sure I could swallow just red.

I would like one with a headlamp conversion. little niggles dont scare me, along as the chassis, main mechanics are in good order Im happy to get the spanners, glue, sticky tape out if it needs tidying up, especially if its a good price.

Budget Im not stretching myself as I want to keep some aside for the inevitable, my budget could cover a tip-top 2001 and previous.

Pete that's very kind and I may take you up on that. I'd certainly like to talk to you about ownership, knowledge on getting out of certain situations etc. do you want to mail me through my profile and we can pick it up from there?

Funny that, I ruled out a yellow one also...

Looking at it now, I'm really glad it is yellow, or Halcyon Midas, ow whatever it's called.

I know the feeling. I've also recently bought a 4.5 and have only managed to drive it 2 times in 3 weeks. It's still in the garage having a major service

I'd be keen to see which car you bought as I was checking the market carefully too smile

Hi, I have sent you an email. I would be very interested to see what's out there that is not advertised. Please send me an email, and maybe I can call you?

Many thanks
