What a car for low 20's!
I am also suspect re. 10% down on a saturday, when banks are shut. However, my small boys mind is already picturing myself in this, with a leather jacket, big mobile, and a bird with a perm.

I know that car smile

IIRC the owner spun it on one of the main dock roads in Liverpool a few years ago, the car ended up going sideways over the pavement and into a bollard, the owner may have been showing off a bit at a set of traffic lights a day or so after buying it hehe

If it were me, prior to bidding I'd have somebody look very carefully at the repair work, TR's that have had damage to the rear suspension area are bloody expensive to repair properly.

Oh and Andrew (the owner) is actually a nice normal guy (business owner, mid 40's, multiple Ferrari owner, known within the FOC etc), happy to vouch for him on a personal level, so no need to worry too much about the ins and outs of paying for it smile

lol, I Am actually keeping a very close eye out for a good 348 - and on that search, I stumbled upon the 512TR that's not quite. It just looks so lush from the side, possibly the "most 80's" Ferrari ever built.

Oh, and re. "the worst Ferrari", I drive a "not proper" porsche at the moment; I still like it though. I guess to some people (like me), "the worst Ferrari" is still an awesome prospect, and has been an ambition since I was 8.
