Potential bargain

[CiderwithCerbie]

Blue 4.2 advertised on a Scottish sportscar web-site, www.amsportscars.com
It's old ('96), but looks clean and only 16+k miles! If it's been kept dry and the chassis is sound - what a potential bargain! Full leather too!

Just highlighted for anyone out there looking for a Cerb

It's o.k., but I wouldn't class it as A "bargain"

Bargain?
Looks in the about right to too expensive region to me.
Mileage far too low.

came acros a small advert for an early 4.2 in top marques today for £12,500. thats a bargain!

Can't understand how you could own a car like this and only do 1,600 a year. As we all know a short trip around the block can end up as 100 mile hoon without much effort.
Unless it's had a disconnected speedo for the last 8 years of course.
I know I'm going to struggle to stay below my 6,000 mile limit this year especially if we have an extended summer like last year.

Cheap certainly; age?, miles? FTVRSH?, full leather?, No. keepers?
It all factors in - or it should do.

I agree. I'm always itching to get mine out.



and the car as well

I wouldn't judge it on mileage alone - I bought mine in the summer with the same mileage. So far I have had 2,000 miles of trouble free enjoyable motoring and it has been in the garage since mid-November!

It's the provenance that is the key. Mine had been looked after by the local independent (V8 Sports & Classics - Edinburgh) for the previous 5 years with bills to prove it.

If anyone is interested in this car I'd ask Noel Flannery at V8 to take a look at it.
