Was this car off the M40 and were the seats badly worn and it showing 7 shades of red on the panels? Was it also on Carandclassic for nigh on a year dropping in price from low £50s to £40?...if it is and he sold it for £40k then someone has paid £7k more than I could have bought it for...and in my mind that was still £8k more than I’d have paid for it....investment my arse...

HAHA that was my experience too. I have done a fair few track days in my own cars but am by no means a great driver. My mum bought me an "experience" day for Christmas. The first car was a 911 turbo, I had never driven one before. I got to the breaking board before the corner so braked hard as you would. The brakes on the 911 were better than I expect and the instructor almost bought up his lunch. To be fair to him once he had composed himself he let me drive the cars. Talking of 360's I had 4 laps on one of those and overtook my brother who was driving a Lambo Gallardo, having some track driving experience does make a massive difference.

That's probably my 360 you drove... Goodwood?
The intructor told me that they limited the throttle pedal travel to 75%. Wasn't sure to believe him...
It was at Preswold hall in Leicestershire. Apparently it had been David Beckham's car. I took that with a pinch of salt.

On the 360 you were looking at I would have negotiated hard. It's going to be a very hard car for the seller to get rid of
Evidently not.

He had, and I'm not making this up, over 200 enquiries from people wanting to see it.

I was the first person he 'allowed' to come and see it as I was fairly local, and 5 minutes after I said I wasn't sure about it, he sold it to his neighbour for £40k cash.

The neighbour didn't even want it as a car, he just thought it was so stupidly cheap that he bought it just to stick in a barn behind his house as he thinks it'll be worth double in a few years. Apparently he's bought quite a few random cars like that and just put them in his barn as his pension fund.
Wow I stand corrected. I was looking at 360s a few years ago and they were all around the 40k mark. How things have changed.

Good luck with your search.

No, that's sounds like a different car.

This was was near Lancaster.
