One of 84 apparently.
Owner and his wife came out while I was taking the picture.
Let my mrs play with the descending doors... She was a little surprised how they worked!

There's an absolutely gorgeous dark blue DB5 a couple of streets away from me in London. I'll try to get a photo next time

Good spot. Not seen one on the road since the early '90s.

When was the last time you saw one? Since they have been out I only ever saw one and that's a lot of years.


How many sold in the UK?

Paolo Pininfarina's signature on this 360CS ?





Edit...it might be a 430 Scuderia.

Not sure how many were sold, but considering they were produced from 89-91..

HowManyLeft says 48 were registered in 94 (earliest record) rising to 105 in 2003 and back down to 59 in 2015.

Certainly rare then! I think I've seen maybe 2 on the road.

[CRA1G]

I had one a few years back and remember having to polish/buff the doors quie regular because road grit would scratch the paint when the doors went up and down..! and Suprisingly no great price rise over the years..?

360 or 430 I can't tell the difference from the front and I didn't walk round the back....

[Jek Porkins]

360 it is

It is quite strange how owners/ garages can try and make the car out to be rarer than it is, even when it is rare already, for example using RHD numbers, or in a certain paint colour etc.

[Martin350]

Or by using Howmanyleft or whatever that terribly inaccurate website is called!

Saw a racing green sister car to that in Stratford on Friday afternoon.

And then a lovely original RR Ghost this afternoon.


(BTW...think you need to change your # plate...I could take the old one off your hands, save you the hassle! )

I saw P1 NSX at Clows Top on Sunday morning about 8.05am when I was on the bike. Wasn't you was it?

It's a GT MF5, built 2009, one of 5 or 6 with RHD. Engine is the M5 V10.
