Not sure on private sellers, but just incase you missed them, Nick Cartwright tends to usually have a TDF blue 355 in every so often.

Queens Park Garage in Poole, have a lovely TDF blue 355 for sale at present.
I believe they advertise on PHs & EBay.
It's inexpensive too.

Looks nice. Nicely presented etc. and about the right money considering it's not resale red. It might end up going for a bit more than his start price. Worth a look I'd say.

That's the Queens Park car, mentioned earlier.
All of his cars are immaculately presented, and he does not deal in rubbish.
You won't get a better one anywhere for that price.
What the hell are you waiting for?

Went to see it. Its also for sale thru Forza.
Car seems ok, interior a bit shoddy.
Didn't get a good feeling from the dealer at all. Just my 2c, not based on anything other than gut feel.

As long as the rubberised plastic bits aren't badly damaged the interiors clean up relatively easily, especially the leather.

That said, the addage about buying the seller has some merit, so if you're not comfy you're better off walking.

Yeah, guy just talked non-stop without really answering anything. Plus, fully stamped book but zero paperwork / receipts with the car. Suppose I could ring around all the old dealers/stamps to verify work done, but found it unusual with that kind of car to have nothing at all.

Stamps are the easy parts to get, its the recipts that validate it all. Mine came with a big file full of them, wouldnt have bought without.
