You'll have to do a search on Cerebra’s at the Autotrader site, as I tried to post the link direct to the car picture, but it doesn’t work!www.autotrader.co.uk/index.jsp

Strewth! A Cerb with that many miles MUST have had all the bugs ironed out!!

If you planned to keep it that would probably be a really good buy!

You have to put the actual link to the image rather than paste the image into the message.

If the following link was surriounded by <> it would display the picture.

Get the URL of the picture you're interested in (I went to the Autotrader site, right clicked on the picture and copied it from 'properties').

Compose your message with the URL between [pic] and [backslashpic] formatting codes.
Note: Ted's site is far too clever and converts backslashpic text to ">, so replace backslash above with the backslash character. You get the idea. I'll get me coat now .

There's a wrecked one advertised on Pistonheads for what, next to this, is a ridiculous £12k. It's a Jap export, re-imported as "damaged repairable" - the damage doesn't look extreme in the pics.

Would I be mad to buy it? (for half what he's asking, if I could get away with it!)

neil.c - for more pace you would have to buy a jzmachtech tuned 993tt, pushing out 540 ponies.
(Even the ruf with a mere 490 manages a 3.6 to 60 and +210 top end). All irrelevant numbers, but that midrange thrust must be adequate for overtaking numpties.
