There is a crashed red 4.2 Cerbera being sold on here for just under 6k and being advertised as only 25k miles. Me thinks this is interesting and takes a further look!

The mileage is clealy shown as 25k on the speedo but then I look a bit closer...it has a 4.5 speedo (up to 210mph) not a normal 190mph speedo of the 4.2???? I'm totally guessing but this could mean the car has traveled more or less miles than 25k if the original speedo has been change...could have done 65k and then not such a bargin hey!

Not all 4.2s have 190 mph speedos. Mine (1998) has a 210 one and it is not a replacement.

Pretty sure my 4.2 has a 200 + speedo.

Not that I have had it round that far!

If yours only goes to 190 maybe its one of the less powerfull ones...

My 1997 4.2 has a 210mph speedo, but the needle seems to stop about 190 biggrin

Car looks in reasonable nick inside. I guess the seats/interior would show up wear.
Based on a couple of others done on here this looks savable.

You can probably take the mileage on all Cerbs with a pinch of salt anyway as the mileometer tends to stick for a good few miles every time it clicks past a 1000 anyway.

Pretty sure I posted the pic before, but I've definitely got a 210-220mph speedo
