[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Would a nice woofly V8 example of Blackpool's finest cure a nasty case of midlife crisis?. 

The alternative seems to be to give up sex and buy a caravan.......pulled by a lurid green 1.4 litre Astra.

What's it to be, chaps?....

Griffith 500 or Chimaera 500

Ive always wanted a Cerbera.

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, get a Cerby with the AJP8 engine.

Oh pleeeeeaaase....go on....buy it. The howls of mirth when you post up how much it costs to fix will be audible across every forum in the land. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yep, get a Cerby with the AJP8 engine.

Infinitely preferable to a Kia Derv and a caravan.

There was also a 4 litre straight six.....I think.

£15000 for either engine secures a nice example........and no reliability issues.

Griffith 500 or Chimaera 500 

Either would be fine.

I know the Rover V8 lump is almost as old as time itself but 350 BHP to push just over 1000 KG brings it's own rewards.

It might be as reliable as night following day.

Besides.....I like the smell of glue.

Don't put him off, they are wonderful cars.

I always fancied the Cerbera, lovely interior and you don`t see that many.....go for it

I'm led to believe that the straight 6 is a "brave" choice, as far as reliability goes, but the V8 is pretty solid.

They are a proper sports car, no abs, no air-con, and if you get it wrong you die!!  :Y

Check the chassis for corrosion , brakes seize if left to stand, warped discs, electric faults due to bad earths. But still a glorious car, they are a true enthusiast car. .

Similarly from machine mart too.and it's bigger
