This love affair didn't last long for me....a truly magnificent car, but it seems I joined the wrong club.
Due to the nature of my work, and the fact the the wife was less and less willing to lend me the RAV4 I did find the car a bit to "look at me"....so sad to say its the Range Rover Sport club next.......sorry guys
ps if you know anyone interested its the purple 4.5 just advertised

Why? Are you a drug dealer or a publican?

I must agree, what a great colour, is it a GT?

Exactly the colour my 8 year old wanted.. Unfortunately we've just purchased a blend in with everything silver SP6 Cerb.

Good luck though, and I hope you change your mind and keep the beast.

Thought I'd recognised the car, I looked at it a few years back at Peninsula I think, it has black interior I seem to remember.

Good luck with sale

Its also the colour my 2 and a half year old loves "daddys pink car!"....I think we will both be upset to see it go!

Lovely colour (and I remember it when it was at Peninsula), but is a GT really worth that premium over a '98 4.5? yikes

open to offers, but it really is a nice car, and a bit special!

Dont do it! I had an M class before the Cerbera, it was so boring I sold it within 3 months. Not sure if a rangey will be any better, but after a Cerbera it’ll probably make you yawn.

I see what you mean though, a Cerbera’s in you face enough without being purple or maybe there so in your face that colour makes little difference!!

It's a beautiful car, but there are so many good Cerbs for sale at the moment (2000-2001 cars at that price). I just missed a 2002 car which was 1k cheaper.

I hope you find a buyer that will appreciate the historical value of the car, but I'd personally opt for a later car.

I have listened to your advice and reduced the price, I think secretly I hoped if I put it in for the original price i would have to keep it.....!

You will sell it and then you will yearn for somthing that gives you the same feeling when you drive it..and you will thus come full circle and want another cerbera...because there is nothing on gods green earth like them.
once you have owned a cerb, nothing can ever take its place...

I thought about selling a few months ago, just fancied a change, but when I started looking around nothing else excited me as much as the car I had already. If I had sold it I would have had to buy another Cerb.

Was that the Red rose at Fernhurst ?

That was a cheap car.

It was. It needed a few cosmetics bits doing (wheel refurb, seat repair etc) but could have been did for a few hundred quid.
It was supposedly really quick too. I had the cash together the day after someone bought it unseen over the phone.

I should have some the same myself and left a deposit whilst I waited for the cash for my car.

Ah well, obviously not to be. I was also looking at the black lightweight which was since been reduced in price again. Looks a bargain to me.
If i'd not just bought the masser, I'd be viewing the purple car mentioned on here (now it's cheaper!), the blue 4.5 and the black 4.5lw in the classifieds. Seems a good time to buy again at the moment!

On that subject, they sold a Red rose 2002 with 50k on the clock at £17K,

Yet they've currently got a 2002 non red rose in with 15k on, at £29K.

I know the red rose with the new engine wasn't mint, but did it really need that much spending on it ?
