355 & Granturismo or California
Discussion
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies, I test drove the California today which I found to be awesome, I do love the 355 and know that I will regret it in the long term as the prices are only going one way, I have had so much fun in it taking it to Monza for the GP in 2014 and to the Mille Miglia earlier this year, the Granturismo for me is brilliant, but as an earlier response said "do you want to live with 2 Italian thoroughbreds" Not really!!!
So I have decided to push the button and am offloading the 355 this Friday to a dealer who was sniffing around it and then will start the search for a California, hopefully in time to get some summer use from it.
I would have gone for the Grancabrio which i found also to be awesome (for me not quite as good as the California)but not enough to justify the £40-£50K difference in price, but it has no boot space and the main use my cars get are on trips to Europe.
Thanks once again for all the replies, I will post some pictures once I have found the right car.
Drive safely!!!

Hi all,
The 355 has now gone,very sad to see it go especially as the prices are going up!!! But as I explained earlier the most use it got was on European trips with some days being in the car for 10+ hours, it was great fun just way too uncomfortable for me,
Previous poster asked what it sold for ball part figure!! 65-70k, but it needed butresses sorted,front spoiler had a number of stone chips which needed painting, service and an MOT, I reckon the auctions will give you a guide as to the price of these cars, but for a well looked after average mileage 355 in decent condition you will be looking i think around £80k, excluding the garage queens with hardly any mileage which i have seen advertised at well into six figures.
