Wrong end of the baby. That's a milk nappy.

Barf Vader seats...

Though tbh - if it was just the seats and door inserts - I don't actually mind the yellow!

Absolutely. And steering wheel, obvs.

I wanted the Victor, I want this even more.

I love its arse

V12, Emmanuel, and it looks good

Is the market finally softening ? Better colour *and* manual. This is very cheap for a manual.

Looks like a good one. Buy it and report back.

Yes please!

Trip to North Yorks is on the cards, I would suggest.

I still don't have much want for a 360. I know they moved the game on a fair way from the 355 in engineering terms, but the 355 feels like a proper Ferrari to me whereas the 360 feels like a GTA car which was intended to evoke a Ferrari.

I’m possibly a bit weird as 348/355/360 do very little for me.

I wouldn't have a 355 because they're quite primitive under the skin. The ones which do it for me are the 308/328 (primitive, but they originate in the early 70s so forgiveable) and 458 (seemed like a massive technical leap on from the 430 and dramatic looks to go with it).

spotted last Saturday (presumably same meeting as Alfa GTV6)

I've previously sat in 308 / 348 / 355 and they're tiny, so they're total non starters as far as my shopping list goes. The 360 is far better. Albeit still with massively offset pedals.

The 360 is to Ferrari what the 996 is to Porsche. A big step change in design & production, got great reviews on launch, but all the fanbois had a meltdown because "it's not a real <x>".

Boo hoo.

The same fanbois who manage to totally forget those objections when presented with the GT3 / CS. Nobody ever criticises those.

And both 360 & 996 formed the basis for all future models, which also don't get the "it's not a real <x>" treatment.

Funny innit ?

360s sound great too.

Unlikely, tbh.

There's now been two of these in quick succession that have struck me as being very cheap. The KASH4KARS one has been on sale nearly a month now; if it was truly a bargain it would have gone by now*. This one I spotted today has been up for a week, a manual without an interesting interior, by rights it should be £5-10k more but it's not. Makes me think one or both are overpriced.

If I'd bought the first one last week I'd be seriously gutted right now seeing the second one come up for sale. I'm happy biding my time. It feels like prices are easing slowly.
