Ferrari 360 Spider

[pmanson]

Hi All,

Picked this up in November 2022 as a slightly early 40 birthday present.

I've put a couple of thousand very happy miles on it to date (to add to the 26k miles it had down in the previous 19.5 years)

It's got the Challenge wheels and grilles, Tubi exhaust, Daytona seats and a lovely six speed manual box









No real plans, bar a new set of tyres being fitted this week and a stage 1 polish mid month. Just going to get it out and enjoy it.

One very like that, down to the wheels, Tubi and carbon buckets, but manual, is a car I very much regret not buying for £50k a while back.

Way back in 2010 there was a 60,000 mile 360 in Rosso Corsa up locally for £30k and a pale blue Spider for £35k around the same time.

A neighbour had a black one for years, It was Cat D was he was a retired mechanic he got it out of Wilsons Government seizure auction. People used to ask him if it was an MR-2 or 406 Coupe as it looked strange sat in the driveway of his 1930's detached bungalow.

What a lovely toy.

I think the 360 shape is aging really well.

Nice! The F1 isn't as awful as everyone says (I have the variant of the box in another car), but I'd prefer a manual in the 360.

What a present to yourself. I’d say that’s a keeper, a manual drop top Ferrari with an N/A V8 is about as special as combinations go.

Enjoy OP.

I agree, much prettier than the 430 that followed it imho.

Came here expecting rosso and nero, was pleasantly surprised.

Very well done, and happy birthday for whenever that is / was!

(would like an exhaust vid pls thx)

[mikebradford]

It suits being in a darker colour.
Very nice OP

[Monster Mash]

Lovely looking car OP - the spec really suits it. 360’s really are aging well!

[Mezzanine]

Looks great Phil, what a birthday present

Challenge wheels look perfect on these.

Very nice! I nearly spent my house deposit on one of these 10 years ago. Still not sure if I made the right decision or not!

I have always liked the 360 spider and I don’t think it comes in a bad colour.

[BUG4LIFE]

Very nice. Enjoy...I'm sure you will

PS, love seeing supercars used at this time of year.

[Zeugirdor]

What a beautiful car!

I do love a 360 and have always had an itch for one. They’re ageing very well indeed and certainly one of the best sounding cars on the road.

I remember when they were new and seeing/hearing one near Russell Square (London) give it the beans, I couldn’t believe the sound it made, incredible. Since then they’ve been a dream car.

Well done OP!!

[AyBee]

That's lovely. All the right options/add-ons!

[super7]

Ferrari could launch that today as a new car and it wouldn't look dated in the least!!!!

You can sleep in a car but you can't drive a house.

Its a very, very nice spec that, great purchase!
