Firstly.....properly advertised..................well photoed.....lots of info.....as honest as?

147000 is an awful lot of miles.......................BUT...................if everything refurbed, fixed, and drives well......why not!

Having said that if you handy with a spanner and after a track car or a 355 that is going to be a daily driver then why not?

A good few years ago I was at a track day at Donnington and got chatting to a guy with a left-hook 355 he bought purely as a toy for tours and track days which he did a lot of, he took me around a couple of times and didn't spare the (prancing) horses. Apart from regular brake pads and tyres he said it was totally reliable, and never missed a beat. I think it was on 50k miles at that point which isn't much, but all of them were hard!

I would rather save the few quid more for one with half those miles. If you've got £26k, you can find £30k. Psychological barrier I'm sure but I'm nervous of my Land Rover at those miles and it's had a new engine 25k ago!

Worthless in the future, but if you could work the spanners yourself and intended to keep it, why not. Just not for me.

355 is stunning in yellow and I would only have the GTS, so plenty of boxes ticked!

Agree...but would also imagine its been well maintained as well...............Had a new engine 30k ago.....If it stayed at 26k it would be a good buy I would say.......

One phone call to Chris Ambrose, service manager at Meridien would get an honest opinion of this if anyone is after it.

Its litterally 3 miles up the road from me , ive seen it already , the guy is a regular salvage dealer but the higher end stuff is mostly unrecorded, he's had a few massers over the last year or so , but commands good money for it , he's on the look out for me for a light cat d GTS

At that money you'll be hard pushed to get it back to A1 it'll cost more than its market value , unless your in the trade and can do loads yourself

Agh right No Probs Pibbow , trouble is the 355 fraternity is so small it will be hard to sell for that money , better off un loading it in europe as its a left hooker
