Cheap 360 Manual
Discussion
Spec is virtually identical to my first 360 20+ years ago (but I had belts).
Coming out of a 355 it was a huge advance at the time. Reminded me of my old NSX in terms of usability and ease, didn't have that twitchy nature of other Ferraris. Initially I thought it was a bit too easy but a couple of euro trips really showed me what a capable car it was.

360’s are very sensitive to alignment and the Pzero factory tyres were and are outdated.Coming out of a 355 it was a huge advance at the time.

Mine with CS alignment and PS5 tyres handles amazingly well and the ride is superb, might be a 20yr old car but we’ll setup they are still very capable.

They weren't outdated in 2001 as that's all there was!The biggest advances over the past few decades are definitely in tyre technology.
I had a similar eureka moment running my 550 on modern Michelins. Night and day difference.

even on my relatively young scud I felt the new michelin ps's made a big difference to the car

Does Sam's not have belts too?
Ordinarily, when you spec any Ferrari with racing harnesses (4HAR) — Ferrari, in their infinite wisdom, automatically deletes the 3 point belt arrangement entirely. Notice that Sam’s car doesn’t have the cut outs for the seatbelt height adjuster on the B-pillar trim for example. However, there’s a tiny number of cars worldwide that do have both, including my own 360. Can only assume the first owner might’ve been unsure about the belts and therefore asked very, very nicely if they could be left in.
As an example, the below LHD CS that sold on CC a while ago had both harnesses and 3 point belts in situ for both seats. I recall the seller commenting at the time he bought the car like that:

Also the silver CS that Scott/Ratarossa rebuilt on his channel had factory 4 point harnesses and (bizarrely) a driver’s side 3 point belt only: https://youtu.be/0ysiH9XU8qg?si=HFMKgAVDVpvO7rk5
And not exclusive to 360s either; as I’ve also seen a 550 and 575M running both (pictured below):
Best of both worlds, if you can find such an example!

Massive mileage difference between the two

I'm guessing around £55 - £60k. But the market is down at the moment. Some classic car prices are down by a 1/3.
This.55k or less: bargain!
65-70k: Fair
75k plus: steep!
57k miles is nothing really but in world of Ferraris is deemed high but this car is probably in better condition than some 20k mile cars because as Sam has proved if you drive and enjoy them they take the miles and ball joints with ease.
Great car and great spec but miles and lack of seatbelts will put some off.
When I sold my manual 430 with buckets and plenty of carbon in early 2017 everyone thought it would go immediately but it took four months because it had nearly 50,000 miles. I also got a fair bit less than assumed.
No matter how good the car mileage is a killer on Ferraris. Always has been, always will be.
In contrast I sold a 964 with 155,000 miles and had tons of people after it (sold it to a mate but took less than a week from advertising to gone).

If Sam's car stays where it is then someone will get an utter bargain. I've just serviced it, put a new alternator on and changed two ball joints - it wants for nothing right now.
It seems like even the best examples would be ruinously expensive to keep in the best shape due to the sheer amounts of parts and components they seem to consume regularly, so is there really going to be much of a premium on this especially with Ferrari buyers putting value in mileage over condition?Nuttbelle said:
