From the outside it looks like quite a nice motor, does anyone know anything about it, as it's pretty much what i'm looking for.....

Had a look at it about six weeks ago.There was nothing glaringly obvious to say it wasn't straight but I think history and stabling are very important with these cars and that info was patchy with this one. The guy selling it didn't fill me with confidence so I walked.
That said, go and have a look, you might get a different feeling and be happy

That's good enough to put me off! It's a fair way away from me.....

I would have thought that if the seller was that bothered about it, there would be a lot more info about the car in the ad

last time it was advertised they airbrushed the scrap yard behind the car
trying to hide something perhaps ??

Yeh, its exactly the same now, it just looks far too dodgy!

If he wants to sell it, it needs some cred! New photos (not parked in a scrapyard with the scrapyard painted out badly)and a proper write up.

Lets not be too hasty. Just because it is photographed outside of a scrap yard does not mean it is ready for the aforementioned scrap yeard. Have a good look, a test drive, and get someone qualified to check it over. You never know, the seller simply might not know much (or care about) Cerberas and it may be the deal of the century

Have you not seen any on the P/H classifieds you fancy?

To be honest, I've never seen a poor scrap dealer! Questionable taste in gold jewelery and sovreign rings, but plenty of folding.

Chap might genuinely be selling it from his business premises. After all, I run a taxi business, doesn't mean that I've had twenty year old girls vomitting in the back of my Cerb does it?

Yep - there's a few on there that are possibilities

I just want whichever one I get to be exactly what I want, otherwise I'll be annoyed with myself further down the line for not being more picky......
