Hi,

I'm thinking of going to look at this car over the weekend. Does anyone know anything about it's history?

It's registration is T105 XBR

I don't know the car and I also don't know why cerbs are so cheap!
Aren't chimps going for more money than cerberas these days (like for like age/condition/mileage)?
Not a rant, my relatives will inherit mine so makes no odds to me, I just think it's crazy.

Edit: sorry for hijack. Looks nice. Take a screwdriver and prod around the bits of the chassis you can reach. Check everything works, look for replaced clutch (haggle if original), do a few hot starts. Should rattle somewhat when cold and be quieter warm. Fans should come on when idling. Good luck!

I think Cerb prices are generally stronger than Chimaera prices.

To the OP - sorry I don't know the car but it looks nice from the photos, and everyone loves a 4.5. It's priced in the middle of 4.5 territory IMO, so don't expect it to be perfect for that price but by the same token it should be solid, fully functional, have good history and be cosmetically presentable.

It has a massive wad of history, I drove it a few weeks ago.

Since it's in Sheffield I would get it across to Joolz to have a once over. And if you don't know Joolz yet then that's another must for a new Cerb owner wink I have lost contact with Joolz but there are many on here still in touch with him.
