What was the price of your Cerbera when new?

[ajp70]

Maybe a bit rude to ask but I imagine that most Cerberas now are not with their original owners. I have discovered that my idea of original price of 42k in '97 is wrong. What was the price of yours?

[FUBAR]

Mine cost the original owner £52k

I am the 4th owner of my 4.5,i have the original bill of sale and it was a tad under 52k in 1998.

Answer is ajp70 no ,according to the purchase invoice for my car in 1997 it was £53k & parts are still made of sugar(starter motors), still I have a sweet tooth & love it !!

Sorry, I kidnapped your post because I didn't think you would want to repeat and it's what prompted the OP.

Original bill says £50,175 in May 1998 for 4.5

Included metallic paint at £214, Full hide at £950 and aircon at £1,240

[sonnylad]

Maybe thats why mine has had so many problems, original bill of sale states £36285 from Station Hill Garage back in oct 96

[Cavey]

£52k in '99 for a 4.5 with full hide and air con.

My Speed Six was brand new at just over £44,000 in 2001, still got it now.

Of course it did. You're missing 25% of the cylinders

Yep, same here. I paid 37k for it when it was 2 years old in 2002. I've had it over 10 years now.

.....this begs a question...i wonder how many Cerbs are still owned by their original purchasers?

And how many have paid around the same (or more) as they bought it for to keep it on the road for all those years .

When my Cerbera came, it said on the log book Cerbera Estate, I'm thinking this may be the only Cerbera estate ever made

I know of two that are with the original owner.
