Went to look at the above a few weeks ago, but was put off by the paintwork on the vehicle; orange peel in several places along with a few other bits , the salesman said that he had no idea of what had happened to the car for it to have been painted , thus I wasn't sure if it had been in a smash or not....


Wondering if any body knows of the vehicle or has Been to look at it ?

Don't know anything about the car, but I thought lots of modern cars have orange peel? Either way a good detailer would sort it out for you.

I know absolutely nothing about that car, but the prospect of F430s for not much over £70k excites me.

Have been able to get earliest manuals for around £70-75k for a while now

I guess I hadn't really looked yet, I would quite fancy an F430 spider when they get down to this price range, at around £80k at the moment; maybe next summer

As I understand it any repairs serious enough to require replacement panels would have been recorded by Ferrari when ordered and with the chassis number you can contact Ferrari who will say if any parts have been ordered for that particular car.

Or next January? That's what I'm hoping for. A nice 430 spider in the late 70s. Could be possible?
