33k miles, but RHD, so everybody moaning prices "have gone crazy" seem pessimistic to me.
£65k is still an accessible price for many people, for a lovely car that wont depreciate too much, if at all.
Great write up, enjoy your P&J.
Tbf it's green and not exactly low miles for £65k. Paying 80 for the OPs seems a no brainer in comparison 33k miles, but RHD, so everybody moaning prices "have gone crazy" seem pessimistic to me.

Nice one David, very accurate account of 360 ownership. I could possibly be one of your mentioned advisors of 360's as I have been known to frequent the Crooked Chimney Pub from time to time 
. Hope you have nothing but enjoyment from your 360 as we did which was also our first Ferarri.
. Hope you have nothing but enjoyment from your 360 as we did which was also our first Ferarri.Thanks for all the great feedback on the 360 piece.. Was aware there are differing opinions out there in the rear panel debate.. so I actually got a solid red one thrown in as part of the deal so can change it over if I ever get the urge! But challenge grille is far more sporty looking IMHO, AND .. The big decider ... you can see shiny exhaust parts through it :-))
Prices are an even hotter topic , naturally.
With regard to the comment about bubbles bursting . I have a mate who's been wiating for the London house price bubble to burst before he commits to buying. He's been waiting 20 yrs so far ;-) in all seriousness, It's a valid point that prices have gone silly . I've seen cars not as good (in my opinion) up for £110k . But as I am planning to keep mine for the long haul I dont really care. Much more important to me that I got the best one I could.![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/gRKkPISx.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/172Mp6bl" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/sc/172Mp6bl.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/kcB5oxFs" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/sc/kcB5oxFs.jpg)

Think this is just me, but from that angle the engine looks like the Thundercats lairPrices are an even hotter topic , naturally.

Fantastic car and a brilliant write up!
I think doing the research to work out exactly which model you want and what specification suits you is a part of the buzz you get when you actually buy the car, and realise after getting it that your choices were exactly right!
Also very glad to see it is getting used.
Sadly I don't think I will be getting any Ferrari barring a lottery win, but if I ever do I would also want a manual one with that lovely exposed gate and as few buttons as possible on the steering wheel!
For the OP (and anyone else with a car as cherished) just keep enjoying your car - while I may not have a car like that it's still great just to seem them out and about!
