It would be interesting to know how many 430 Manual were manufactured. There were around 1300 Challenge Stradale manufactured and RHD prices are £225K up to £320k.
Now I'm not suggesting 430M is or ever will be at the same level of desirability. What I will say though is that I sold my 430M to buy a 360CS and sometimes wish I had the 430M in the garage as its more usable. BTW I did say 'sometimes'!
You never know with this relatively new 'collectible/investment' car market what will happen. But if there are only, say, a hundred RHD 430M, prices could easily go much higher.
Firstly, congratulations to Zeroh and again to willfinch36 - Both are beautiful cars and I know you're both going to love them.Now I'm not suggesting 430M is or ever will be at the same level of desirability.

As for what roygarth has to say (see above), well........................ Thank god, someone else with a brain who's worked out just how huge the potential for this car is!
Those who think you're going to see these cars back down at £70k - Forget it, It's never going to happen.
Those of you who own, or have just bought one, congratulations, you're sitting on a goldmine!

didn't someone post the figures for 430s a few months ago, as i recall there was something like 120 odd manual RHD coupes made
UK RHD F430 Coupe Manual - Total: 112UK RHD F430 Spider Manual - Total: 119
Figures taken from Aldous Voice.com - F430 Production Numbers - So I suspect pretty accurate, or at least very close.

ah 110 odd rather
of that how many are left i wonder, less that 200 coupes and spiders maybe?
of those, dismiss the ones with dodgy history or have been clocked, that doesn't leave that many "good uns" - no wonder they are worth so much lol
I don't know how accurate the figures on "howmanyleft.com" are but it reckons there are;of that how many are left i wonder, less that 200 coupes and spiders maybe?

110 manual spiders (98 OTR, 12 SORN) and
119 manual coupes (98 OTR, 21 SORN)
as of Q3 2015

Presumably a high spec one owner car with FFSH then ????
The highest advertised one with 15k miles at a main stealer is £120k retail so they probably gave sub £100k.

That 15k mile coupe at meridian sold for the ask a good couple weeks ago and you can bet that the next one they get in wont be retailed that cheap ! The highest advertised one with 15k miles at a main stealer is £120k retail so they probably gave sub £100k.

Meridien always play the market. If its in low supply and high demand they hike their prices right up as they can afford to sit on the stock for years if necessary. F430 manuals seem to be "hot" at the moment and they will milk it.I've sold many a car to them and believe me they make good money and Retail to Trade is a decent spread. They gave me what I considered as fair money trade for my Scuderia and had it advertised for less than a week before they sold it full up

Today I've had an unseen offer on my 2005 manual 430 of 120k!
Sell it, thats top money. Then go get a 458 and enjoy how capable that car is, on and of the track. I used to love manual F cars, but now i wouldn't want anything but F1, I actually prefer it. (In 430 onwards)
