I bought a Cerbera brand spankers in 1999 / 2000, back then they were a big deal and used to draw a lot of good attention. They are a little annoying at times...the engine used to pop and bang and run badly if not driven hard the whole time (mine was a speed 6 and it went bang shortly after selling it) There is nowhere to put your clutch foot as no room to take it off the pedal and my gear knob used to get so hot that you could not touch it in traffic....the electrics do some really funny things and bits of trim used to fall off.


You need to make sure that the outriggers have been changed or checked as the powder coat from factory was poor and the outriggers that support the shell rust through and that is a body off repair (many have been done by now though)


I would buy an AJPV8 if I had another and would be prepared for chassis mods and stick an LS in it if the engine failed (although the purists do not like it)
ha i love the madness of the things that go wrong with them. i had loads of old fords so not shy with a tool kit, i think any cerb i could afford would be of the millage where all the little silly things would be apparent and hopfully ironed out again with my budget i think i would be looking at 4.2s

as far as the cos goes its stood for the last 4-5 years so theres no rush i wont be buying anything until next summer... so i will probley wash the shell and take some good photos for ebay and try it on there as job lot less hassle hopefully with a 4.5k reserve if not break it up over the winter and hope to get the same possibly more
