A Friend is taking his 360CS across to France next week on a Ferry - Dover to Calais - with either P&O or Sea France.
Can anyone advise if there are any issues getting this car on and off these ferries due to ride height?

Fair point but we use the time as a food/break as we are travelling from Gloucester to Spa in one day, done the trip a few times and find it better on the ferry and overall takes no longer as you don't have to stop on the other side for food/break.

Thanks for the info - no issues thensmile

The only problem with Euro train is that the carriage curbs are to close to the wheels. Even though the curbs in the carriages are very low. One often catches them with the cars tyres if you drive a wide car. So you constantly hear a squealing of the tyres on the curb. But you know when its Lemans time, they use the wider carriages with narrower curbs wink
Also if your car is low, be careful of the raised sections that are found at the point were the two carriages join. These have scraped my Ferrari at times.
