He has some serious metal on there for not much money.
If it floats your boat, a 2005 Bentley Flying Spur for £35k is a bargain, whack a plate on it and the neighbours will think you've won the lottery.

Am liking these more and more...
Had a good look round a 355 manual spider last night,
silver with dark blue hood...very tasty,
had a capristo exhaust which sounded awesome :D

Also had a look round a 348, liking these more and more as well :D

Here is a pic of the 3 of us...

But over £50k is strong for a US spec Pagoda! The Bentley makes sense when VW Phaetons can't be given away, both great famly barges!

Edit : Looking good Enzo, 348's are great value.

The silver 355 looks lovely Enzo.....Not the red you get on most and suits it...

Not many 355's in silver, personally i think it pulls it off so well, same goes for TDF blue, looks so at home on the 355.

As for Chris's 355, looks a nice example, early car as it is "pre-airbag", cant ever see the 355 looking dated, fave detail is the bonnet, love those slats, such a nice detail to the car.


edit; this is lovely, loose the sideboard trim and it would be perfect.

Purest looking 355 is the Berlinetta, most useable is the GTS. Was never sure of the point of the Spider? Just a bit foppish, and this from a guy who likes convertibles :)

One day, a TDF blu 355 GTS manual will be mine... Reckon £40k would do it as long as the right car is about. Lotus + Porsche + cash I would consider a fair trade. Got to own a Ferrari at some point, it's the law!

Edited to add - with a lunatic exhaust, Larini or Capristo :)

I must admit im really falling in love all over again with the 355
I always loved them but now for those who have 35k and are thinking about a GS it is a possibility....

I got into my GranSport, because the Ferrari dealer in Boston told me the 355 was going to be an expensive car to run (engine out cam belt changes, valve guide issues, OEM exhaust bits cracking due to heat, etc.) and is not one to be driven daily like a GS. That said, I must get into one someday...a spider (love the look with the top down) or a GTS in some shade of blue and a gated 6-speed (F1's are clunky on these cars). I almost bought a Pozzi Blue Spider with Beige leather with Blue Scuro piping, carpets and top that the dealer was selling before a nice Greek chap put a deposit on the car and I was refused to drive it the day I went to the dealer...it even had the challenge rear grill, which is a must in my opinion! Manolis (the Greek) and I became good friends and organized roadtrips together, but sadly one night he lost control and totalled the car (he is OK!).

For now, I will leave you with these pics of one that is to die for...Pozzi Blue (almost looks black) with Cuoio Leather and Blue piping that I heard went for over $90k 2 years ago...
