Hi all
After around six months of checking the classifieds 50 times a day for the Cerbera for me ,I finally have it! i set off at 3.30am this morning armed with a trailor and travelled from essex to cumbria. its a 1999 viper gts blue 4.5 with magnolia interior and its in lovely original condition, 30k miles ,full service history and everything works as it should.
We gave the car a good looking over and had the use of a garage pit to inspect the chassis which seemed very solid. after a test drive ,the deal was done and its now tucked up in my garage back in essex.
I trailored the car home to save it a 350mile journey but visited a few friends to show off when i got it home! It goes like a rocket and is so comfortable to drive easy too, i love it!!!!!!!!!
cheers
Tom

Looks stunning in the classifieds. Exactly the car I started looking for originally but ended up with a Tuscan in the same colour combo.....the best colour combo ;-)

That was the colour combo I was after when I started looking. Didn't end up with it but still think they look great.

I can relate to the long hours on PH classifieds too. Even resorted to the old control f5 a few times! Paid off though as beat others to the punch when the right one finally came up.

Enjoy it!

Mr cerbera Unfortunately I lack the ability to drive two cars at once! I can't wait to get my use out of it though. I'll put some pictures up when I get a chance. It just sounds so brutal, and that's not even a sports exhaust.
