AJP 4.2 advice pls...
Discussion
OK Boys & Girls,
I’m seriously considering 64Xs Cerbera (AJP 4.2) as a bit of a toy/project and to lavish a bit of TLC on it. Thing is, I'm not that familiar with the Cerb so I’ve obviously got a few questions / doubts in my mind.
The main one is around the engine: If it has been sat idle for the past 12mths, is there anything I should be aware of before trying to get her started again or should a new battery & oil change suffice???
Otherwise, when it comes to things like the chassis, are there any particular problem areas I should be aware of when having a look??
TIA,
M

Cheers Gaz,
Yep, eyes wide open!!! Quite a bit will probably need doing on the car so just trying to square up some of the "Unknowns" I have...

A car needing lots of work is worth less than the sum of its parts but on the other hand if you have the time, inclanation and the funds then go for it. Its great to see a tatty cerb rise from the ashes!Yep, eyes wide open!!! Quite a bit will probably need doing on the car so just trying to square up some of the "Unknowns" I have...

My Cerb has been laid up for 18 months due to lack of funds 
I gave the levels quick check and it started on the button 
it all worked as well. Aircon needed a bit of a charge but apart from that I just let everything warm up slowly and didnt try and break the land speed record on the way for MOT.
These cars are expensive weather they are well used (wear out) or laid up (siezed up). It will cost a small fortune to keep running even if you do not have to do anything major you will want to upgrade
Go for it and good luck!
