A good one

[lanan]

I appreciate that a number of posters come on this forum asking where to find a good F355 etc.
So I thought a different approach may get me more info..!!

I am looking for a manual F355 GTB,

Have you seen one for sale and thought...bnlimey that is a NICE one and at that price looks a bargain.
If so, let me know, just to save the trailing around the countryside looking at dross.

Thanks in advance

My 355 will be for sale soon. It's a mint 21K mile, red/cream GTS with capristo exhaust & colour coded roof. Just had MAJOR serice including cambelts lots of other stuff & valve guides which if you've done your research you'll know is a big deal!!

I was in your shoes not too long ago and it can be hard to find one that is in ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE CONDITION. My advice would be to check out Nick Cartwright's, he prepares his cars to an unbelievable standard. I bought mine in May and although it was a very good car in the first place, it arrived and look like new.

The 355 is a brilliant car, I absolutely love mine, one thing to look out for though is whether or not they have had their cambelts changed when they should have been. If this has been neglected it can cause some serious problems.

Anyway, good luck with your search, you'll get there in the end. if you have nay more questions feel free to PM me.



Here is a few cars that might be of interest:

had mine over a year now (i've done ~6K miles) and thus far i've spent less running the 355 than I have the BMW. buy a decent one, prepped by someone who knows what they're doing and I reckon you'll save money in the long term.

I went to Nick Cartwright as well.

I simply could not be bothered to look at private examples after seeing too many stonechipped, baggy interior wrecks with 1k on the clock.

You won't pay a bargain price, but the car will be prepared to like new. Even the older 328, 308s there looked factory fresh.
