Hi guys. I have been offered my old 355 that i sold last year back. And was wondering what you thought about me buying it back.

The guy that bought it off me has recently passed away and his daughter is trying to offload some of his collection back to their origianl owners at a very discounted price. I am very tempted but dont know wether i still have a passion for it anymore. i have also thought about getting it and reselling, but this seems abit unfair, and would make me feel a bit ashamed.

I sold it to him for £43,500 and his daughter wants about £35-36,000 for a quick sale. Its a 96 plate. 41k miles and its also a Spider. Has a new service from Graypauls and new roof and hydraulics. Also had a new clutch fitted 4 months ago.

Just to try and answer above questions

I sold it as the wife is pregnant and looking for a more suitable car. (ie 4 seats) And thewife has a 360 so I use that. Its a steal at that price its at. When i sold it I advertised it for £45,000, and this guy came straight in after a week and offered me £43,500 so I was happy to sell without bargaining. I originally bought it for £42,000 but did a fair bit of work on it.

I think that I am gonna rebuy it now though as it was my first Ferrari and like you say it would be doing the woman a favour by taking it off her hands.

Other cars being sold are Ferrari 328, Ferrari 512, a Jag and a Bently. I think they are keeping the rest of the collection.
