what about a LHD car. Im sure these will also go up in value and a much cheaper cash layout considering scud is only a very occasional car?

I always go LHD as over time LHD & RHD prices tend to come together..and as you say for an occasional use motor LHD is no problem.

This one is about a £40k saving over an equivalent rhd

I own a LHD scud myself and find it perfect as a weekend/track tool

Had a proper long test drive in a Scuderia yesterday and now appreciate how different these cars are up and above my old regular F430 spider.
Epic car and well worth the premium if you are seriously into your driving. The superfast 2 F1 gearbox is amazing to the extent I think its better ( more suitable to scud) than the latest DSG boxes which are too smooth and give little sensation of changing gear. The sound at 6,000 + RPM is pure F1

The car has a great balance between the rawness of a CS and the daily driveability of a 458. Reckon the car is a Concorde moment, the pinnacle of motoring navarna

Now can I live with a grey one or do I hold out praying for a Rosso Scuderia one to come up in the next couple of months
Here's one for you but you will have to pay a premium

That price is no surprise to me at that mileage but the only problem with buying such a low mileage car that you intend to use is that the premium is automatically lost which is at least £20k on that car with 2 years of my motoring.

Quite happy to have a car that's averaged 3,000 miles per annum rather than a garage queen anyway so that's a car with 18 - 20k miles on it which look to be circa £165k.
Preference would be Rosso Scuderia with alcantara, grey racing livery and wheels, red calipers, radio and harnesses but keeping my options open in case prices go through the roof again

Totally agree, these cars were built to be driven, good on you!
