4.2 with all the good bits or a basic(ish) 4.5?

[Doodlebugger]

Hi I have at the moment a M3 Evo Cab in Spain, but I am moving back to Lincoln in July so that is going and I have seen the light and have fell in love with a Cerbera, so the big question is should I go for a 4.2 with all the good bits or a basic(ish) 4.5? When I say the good bits I mean Spiders, Headlamp & rear light conversion, looking at 14-15k, is it worth going for a 4.5 at that price as that from what I can see is the starting price. I have read hundreds of postings about them but seem to get mixed reports, so any help would be appreciated.
What are the must have's? I know about the troubles from reading the forums.
Roll on July/Aug, hope we have a late summer

Cheers

Put wheels and lights at the very bottom of your needs list!
Condition and provenance at the top.
An indentical yr and condition 4.5 is worth more but isnt a better car.

IMO they drive better, but at the end of the day it's all down to personal preference. Get yerself back and then go drive one of each and pick the one you like the most.
