As some of you may know I have been looking for a Ferrari 550 for ages, I really should have bought one 3 years ago when I first decided I wanted one but I didn't so no point in worrying about it now. I have looked at quite a few cars this year and not seen anything of the standard I would have wanted at a remotely sensible price so I decided I would have to accept that owning a 550 is one that got away - for now at least, as I will keep monitoring the classifieds.
Anyway I still wanted a late manual Ferrari so decided to look at the alternatives and decided eventually on a 360, I chose that over a 430 because it doesn't have all the controls on the steering wheel in the way the 430 does and also have spoken to several people who have owned both who prefer the 360 to drive.
Anyway a car came up for sale in a specification I really liked so I did a deal on it about five or six weeks ago and finally picked it up yesterday. The weather was horrid so not many pictures, I will hopefully get some better ones when the weather improves and I get her cleaned up again.
This will probably be the chariot of choice for Le Mans.
She is Tour de France blue and currently has the optional split rim wheels but I have already acquired a set of genuine 360 Challenge wheels which are away being refurbished as we speak.
The interior is tan with electric Daytona seats with blue inserts and a tan and blue dash and steering wheel. The roll hoops are also trimmed in tan leather.
She has done just 21,000 miles with full history and is very clean and tidy.
Fortunately the last 15 miles of the journey home the weather dried out and the sun came out so was able to have the roof down and hear the engine sing
