The second one has sold :o
The last one I thought the most interesting, a pity they didn't base it on a particular lower spec. model that was available though.

Are sellers genuinely just letting the eBay AI bot write listings when they're trying to sell a fvcking Ferrari???
This 2002 Ferrari 360 MODENA Coupe is a stunning example of Italian engineering at its finest. With a manual transmission and only 24000 miles on the clock, this beauty is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The exterior colour is a unique shade that will make it stand out from the crowd. The features of this car are impressive, including AM/FM Stereo, CD Player, Central Locking and Alloy Wheels. Safety Belt Pretensioners provide added safety, and the right-hand drive makes it perfect for UK roads. The Ferrari brand is synonymous with luxury and performance, making this car an excellent addition to any collection.

Is that an original, genuine Porsche bit of wood to hold the tailgate open ?

Always strange seeing one of those 2.8s where everything just looks slightly off as it's not the M one. And the wood dash is so out of place. 12 grand though....

Far and away the cheapest manual 360 I’ve seen. I don’t want to say suspiciously cheap, and there’s no immediate alarms going off, but it’s very cheap. The next cheapest manual is an extra £17,500 and it’s a spider.

Not eBay but online - does anyone here have kindle unlimited ? I’m hugely intrigued about the contents of this book:

https://amzn.eu/d/5dE8JP1
These are the stories that I probably shouldn’t share…

Arresting a bride at her wedding

An Aztec-style sacrifice

Subversion in the ranks

A naked dog thief

An accidental kidnapping

Disappointing a nun…

True tales from the front line of policing, where fact is often stranger than fiction!

VERY strangely if you look up the MOT history, DVLA have it registered as a "LANDROTER RANGEROVER". Exactly that spelling & spacing.

How did it end up like that ??

Most likely an Irish import or TDS (Tourist and Diplomatic Sale) to someone in in the forces stationed abroad, where I expect it's still a manual entry process when registering it here. Years ago when I worked for H.R.Owen we used to buy quite a few TDS cars and could have issues with insurance and finance if the DVLA had set up the car incorrectly, or not matched the UK model derivatives.
