Possible testdrive this weekend & Price Budget

[MegatronUK]

I'm hoping to get up to Hexham Horseless Carriages this weekend to have a look at the stock and possibly get my testdrive in a Cerbera. What should I be looking out for when driving the car?

I'll have a budget of around £18-19k, possibly £20k for the right car and will be looking for a 4.5, as late as possible, hopefully with sub-35k miles.

There looks to be a good selection of very clean looking 1998-1999 cars for this kind of price, but am I likely to be able to pick up a 2000 4.5 lightweight or RR? What would be your choice at this kind of budget?

If I had the money right now, these would be the two I'd look at:

Stunning looking + loads of extras. BTW, Does anyone have a picture of prowler purple in a better light?

Cerb looks mean in black with silver spiders.. although the mulberry interior may be a bit too lairy for my liking :-)

.. So those are the kind of thing I'm looking for. Anyone got any coming up for sale soon? I need to get rid of my Supra first though

Not seen any Lightweights for under £20k and definitely not from a dealer.
The lightweights were available in late 1999.
Hope this helps with your search criteria.

Thanks, I couldn't see any for that price. I just figured I might be lucky and find a facelifted/lightweight model on that £20k borderline.

Large, heavy objects moving more slowly than you (which most of them will be)

Nice

Will be good just to get a feel for the cars up close. Who knows; I may even not like them! ...





... yeah, right ;-)
