I had a 450 for a year 2019-20. A comprehensive review, although there's no mention of the excess heat cooking the clutch slave cylinders, which is a common issue, and the gearbox has to come off for access.
The speed six engine issues have mostly been solved by the aftermarket, factory rebuilds often left the same foibles. I did enjoy it
but it was the most expensive car (in £ per mile) I ran in the 80 + that I've owned. Almost zero depreciation though, it was the running costs!

I ve only had a slave changed once in 25 years of Cerberas. The speed six engine issues have mostly been solved by the aftermarket, factory rebuilds often left the same foibles. I did enjoy it

Evo are running through supercars of the decades, and for the 90's one reviewer put the Cerbera top out of 550, Diablo, Vantage, 993 Turbo and the NSX!
September issue and some great photography, as you'd expect from Evo
I’ve driven a 550 and didn’t like it. Felt heavy and not much fun. September issue and some great photography, as you'd expect from Evo

I think you've been fortunate. In 2019, I had major issues on my R reg 450 because there were no OE replacements available at the time (my had failed) and the clutch itself went too. The gearbox had to come off 3 times at Central. The flywheel had to be skimmed and the first clutch wouldn't work properly. 
It's one of the reasons I sold it. An aftermarket fitting is the additional pipe to enable clutch bleeding. Byker28i said:

And on the evo podcast they waxed lyrical about how such cars don't exist any more and just how special they are.
I do think they are currently undervalued, there are some advertised that, on the face of it, seem like reasonable cars but sit and sit in the low 20's.
