Hi, I'm looking to buy a cerbera, but I'd liked to get it checked out by an Indie first.
Are there any in the N/West that people use regularly (although hopefully not too regularly) and could recommend.
I don't mind the cost for them doing a check for me, I just don't know who would be best to ask!

If you mean Northwest England, I can whole heartedly recommend SFR in Stockport Cheshire.

Cheers lads sounds like Shane has a good reputation. I've just had my first test drive of a 4.5. It is for sale £26,950 in HL Gorner. Don't thinkI'll be getting it tho, they won't move on price and to be honest it didn't make me fall in love with it :-(
I've been looking forward to driving one for ages as I love the shape, so I feel gutted now that I don't feel more excited about the drive. Perhaps it just wasn't the right car for me, and to be honest I probably didn't drive it the way that gets the best out of it; I was changing up earlier than required and being careful leting clutch out, etc. I'll try a few more but I'm gonna be gutted if the cerbera doesn't win me over

Again, can't recommend Shane enough. Down to earth guy who doesn't take the p155, plus he knows his stuff.

As for the Cerb not "rocking your boat" perhaps you should attend a local meet and try and talk someone into taking you out for a spin. I know that an owner will show you what the car can really do.

Why not try some of the other models ? I spent 18 months looking for the "right one" for the money I had and couldn't find it. I now have a 450 Chim and love it to bits.............
