Out with the old in with the new - Ferrari 360 modena

So it all happened really quickly. Within a few days of putting the Dino up for sale (and selling another vehicle) I had the funds to go for a good Ferrari 360. The Dino went to a buyer in Singapore.

I wanted: 20k or less miles/manual transmission/silver/red leather/wingshields/red callipers and a challenge rear grill.

What did I find...





That'll do I thought, but this car was for sale at the Ferrari Centre in Kent - 240 miles away. I took advantage of a London trip and popped over to see the car. It had issues, but when we discussed the detail it was about to have £4500 spent rectifying the usual 360 problems so we struck a deal.

Work done would include:

Timing belts
Oil service
Ball joint replacement
Clutch hydraulics repairs
Disc skim
Some body work
and other minor repairs

Most of this work dealt with many of the 360 common issues so the car was in some ways better then a 10K miles car now. It has also had a new clutch fitted less then 1000 miles ago - that's about as good as it gets.
