Saw this in the classifieds and couldn't work out where I recognised the number plate.

Until it dawned on me it's the car he drives in the Cosmic Girl video.

Reasonably priced too, though looks like the alloys could use a refurb!

Reasonably priced indeed but that plate is awful.

Indeed. Odd it's not as badly spaced in the music video?

It does seem like good value at that price, and at a dealer too... there must be more to it? I was in the Market for a 355 last year and only wanted a black one and they are very thin on the ground!

GTS is rarer esp in Black. Did Jay Kay actually own that car - i am sure it was just "borrowed".

alistair who owns adg is a great guy to deal with, I couldnt reccomend him enough.

I bought and sold with him and both times it was very straightforward.

Is it really that cheap?...1995 car, right?...I think there are a lot of 355s on the market not selling. But, then I track other Fcars too and they aren't shifting either....happy days for a buyer, not so hot for a seller...

In my opinion, yes, but then I know fk all.

The Berlinetta is, for me, the purest of the 3 variants.

I thought Jkay's black 355 GTS was badly damaged either during a shoot for a music video or whilst being driven to the film set.

That was the Diablo (twice!)

Everytime I see that guy it makes me feel sad at how desperately uncool I am by comparison. The guy is a legend!

Yep, it was the Diablo that was shunted. FWIW surely the best colour for the GTS is black - roof blends in more...I am tempted, since I am also a big JK fan...at £30k I'd go and have a nose at it....
