high miles wouldn't put me off at that price, worth more in parts surely?

Anyone know the car and how it got so many miles on it?

Cheapest F355 in the UK by far, maybe you guys could show me better examples elsewhere, EU for sale adds?
I have listened to a lot of Ferrari owners and those in the know, on more than one occasion was the rumour that most F355's are clocked, given their age and how many dealers and owners they have all had it's pretty hard to dispute, when I walked away from a £38k red F355 fiorano 3 years ago the owner thought I was mad to worry about mileage when there were dealers he new regularly performed the "time warp!" as part of the annual maintenance, yet he refused the offer and hence was selling it cheaper with genuine 68k miles, 3 years on I'd expect it to be umm at least 44k miles by now!! :-0
I should have purchase that car, Rosso/Crema, race sets, F1, RHD, massive service/receipts file, :-(

it's very very VERY common, my wife's Merc convertible has just gone back for a full refund to a very large respectable dealer due to it not being "genuine 8k miles". had no idea until it when in for a main dealer service, Mercs do leave a marker "implausible mileage detected" if not clocked properly, I now hear they can be!!, Mercedes openly told me how common it is, they had just had a women dropping a top of the range nearly new AMG off for its first service with a mileage blocker inserted into the loom which had us laughing out loud.

I've been assured there was/is a very well known indy Ferrari specialist that specialised in altering, mileage, history documents and genuine books to suit new mileages, out of interest just search rubber dealer stamps on eBay, cost less than £10 for a not so genuine Ferrari main/indy dealer of your choice service stamp.

Regarding the car I didn't know it was up for sale 6 months back and subsequently already discuss so my apologies, regarding the bonnet, yes it does look all out of line round the front lights!!
