Six years too late probably. I sold a manual 430 for under £100k in 2016.

Maybe a nice early carb 308 but proper upkeep will cost you a similar amount to any potential uplift.

The problem with 360's, 430's etc is that there are literally thousands of them around. I bought my first 360 for £85k 23 years ago. They have fluctuated between £45k and £85k for the past two decades but in that time maintenance would have cost tens of thousands. Could be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen a standard 360 change hands anywhere near £100k.

Eighty grand won't work - it'll buy you a lovely Ferrari - maybe even one you like - but as a random purchase that has to go up: no chance

if there was a reliable answer, then we'd all be doing it smile

the 3:30 at kempton is probably a better bet...

bit over budget, but this will possibly hold well.

As with 550's parts are becoming scarce for 355's, running costs seem to have increased sharply to keep one tip-top in recent years but non availability of parts is becoming a problem.

I've personally never liked the F1. Unlike the 360 the software can't be updated and it is quite clunky. For less money a nice 430 would probably be a safer bet in terms of maintenance cost.

80k Ferrari as an investment? rofl

Put your money in the bank. You’ll be richer at the end of it.

Never own anything that eats while you sleep if you want to make money.

The running costs and upkeep etc of a Ferrari will be in investment for the person that looks after it for you I suspect.

As to making money on the car - that is a pure gamble and not an investment.

Get one you can enjoy - I’d get a California 30 - cheap these days, great n/a v8 soundtrack and lovely summer car. Look after it and yuu may get your money back but I think the investment side of cars at that budget has gone.

328 GTB, low cost to maintain if you find a good one. Fun to drive.. This may be worth a look:
