Car History?

[PW555]

Good Morning

Being a massive Cerbera fan from the day they were produced I only now find myself in the position to look at a purchase, I hovered over a few online, lost out on a couple but I have booked an appointment to view this example, I just wondered if anyone had any history on the vehicle and any dealings with Matt at Mortimer Prestige Cars?

Thanking you in anticipation.

From reading I'm not sure if it's the previous owner but if so you may be able to send a PM

Many thanks for coming back to me David

So they are clearly not going to able to show a vehicle history prior to 2011, this may get interesting!

If the chassis is good, electrics work and drives well I wouldn't worry about pre 2011 service, most bits would have been replaced since then, unless it's a dog

Not one under-bonnet shot? ....

I personally prefer the phase 1 headlights less busy and such an iconic shape.

I don't like non alloy coloured wheels so if they were silver then great or actually the originals were so darn good.


None the less I'd take either.

Check the chassis carefully around the front outriggers they are the week point and check doors and windows open and close correctly and the electrics all work,Then take it for a drive and listen out for all the normal things checking brakes, clutch and tracking. Check for leaks underneath on return. Then make your mind up.

Could be either, but I'd be asking why they were changed, damage or just fashion darling? There's probably been a respray so look at the work, check the gaps, edges etc.

Then there's the obvious, corners of the outriggers for severe rust, have a good look underneath, chassis, plus the cooling rail at the front.
Oil leak at the rear of the engine, oil leak on the diff. Check the power steering works.

I like the colour - what colour is the interior?
