Later car, full history - right hand drive. What's the catch?

[Rollcage]

13,000 miles in the last 8 months, thats why. Thats a hell of a mileage in a 355 - there will be a story behind that.

Cheap though, agreed.

There is such a disparity in pricing..

How about this:

1999 Spider F1 with low miles for £36k..

when there are others nearer 50k?

39K miles is girly mileage in a 355, they can take a siht load more than that.
Oh god, i have so much mileage on mine, its only worth £7,000. Any takers

I bought my 360 from Tim. My understanding (and this may be quite wrong) is that he buys his cars for cash, spends what he needs to to bring them up to stratch and adds his margin. Perhaps this one doesn't owe him much.

Having seen some of his cars I can say it's worth going over to visit him.

I'll give you £4,000 as I'll have a spare 348 engine lying about and could put it in that and make it more reliable.

Good for you and i am glad you spoke up "Loose lips sink ships" as the saying goes. Assumptions can cause alot of trouble.

Make it £5,000 and you have a deal little man Hey and you know how reliable its been over the years. I dont think twice about jotting across Europe twice a year, and without a hitch. Not like alot of 355 owners who are afraid to drive there cars to the next town, in fear of breaking down. Or through town at 12mph doing a scudrun :tongue:
Anyways get the cash to me by tomorrow morning, i have paypal

I apologise if my post was a little ambiguous - I was merely inferring the reason as to high mileage in a short time. Nothing untoward was being assumed or implied.

If I had thought something iffy was happening, I would have said so.

A high mileage in a short period hardly points to someone being unhappy with their car, and a car such as this is hardly driven out of neccessity! No one would do it unless they wanted to rather than having to.

somebody drove it?

[Slurms]

Colour is a little unusual but lets be honest here i'd rather have one thats been driven and you know works than one thats sat in a garage for 2 years barely being used..

Strange post....did you not read the above?

I think 355s in Argento look fantastic - possibly my favourite colour for them. This one looks lovely I have to say.
