First post here, mostly on the Aston Martin section. Please forgive me if this has been asked before. Am lucky enough to be thinking of a Ferrari for 'investment' purposes. I have a ten year plus timeframe and am fully aware of the implications and consequences of buying typically depreciating assets as investments.

So, to those in the know, if you had GBP50k to commit would you go 308, 355 or 360? These would be my three options.

I'm at the early stages of my research, and to date have only decided it might be time to fulfill that dream of owning that Ferrari. In my possession the car would be meticulously taken care of and would be driven regularly, though not as a daily driver.

So I guess, possibility of capital appreciation is the main question? The ultimate decision will be made a little further down the line but any comments at all would be very much appreciated.

Whilst there is still money to be made on both the 308 and 328, I would find it hard personally to accept that you are a year too late on both counts. The next one to start rising on the V8 front will be the 355, the 360 will soon after. If it were my money....whilst I love and would prefer the 355 for a number of reasons, I'd go for the 360 and as a spider, why? They are now the cheapest they will ever be.
Thank you for your comments everyone. I'm getting closer.....(long night of research last night!)

Now looking like a 360 Spider, LHD/RHD? Colour - Rosso Red or Grigio Titanio? Ferraris should be red, Aston Martin's grey, no smile

OP here. Thanks for all the excellent comments and advice. Latest thinking is 328 or 360 manual. Completely different animals of course. Time to hunt down some likely candidates and drive. Thank you all again.
