360 manual prices/availability

[Mr Cod]

After a bit of debate about going down the AM V12V route, I think I'm now pretty decided that I'm going for a manual 360 spider for my analogue thrills. The market seems a bit strange. There are a bunch of cars that have hung around for ages, auction prices are not high (a great one recently failed to sell on CC), but certain cars seem to come online and get sold within days, before I even have a chance to look much less organise an inspection. I recently inquired about the two at Slade's and was told "they both just sold" (which makes me a little suspicious about when exactly they did sell tbh)

I'm not going to ask where the market will be, but where do people think the market is for these, are they creeping up? Any insight into current conditions would be helpful, I'm getting confused.

I'm ideally looking for a TDF, though would consider red. Carbon seats would be great but not a dealbreaker. It will live in London and be driven quite a bit so I'm not really interested in paying a premium for low miles, would much rather have something with great history and 30-40k on the clock (not a lot given the age of these cars now).

Why not buy the one on CC?

All red convertibles on AT that were on recently have sold.

Manual 360s and F430s have gone a bit daft recently with many fetching prices that were previously unheard of. Whole bunch of factors at play but it seems that rare analogue cars, i.e. manual Ferrari V8s, are spiking in value as people come into money and don't necessarily want tech-laden cars with crap sounding turbocharged/hybrid engines. 430 Scuderias and 360 CS have really gone nuts.
