Ferrari back catalogue with £80k budget?
Discussion
Looking at back catalogues now rather than new hybrid stuff and want to dip my toe In initially at £80k.
Where would your money go ?
I have something in mind but wonder what the collective PH knowledge thinks ?
Needs to be a convertible

355 would be my go to, but as you have one already then I think the 599 look very interesting.
Would like a V12 599 GTB HGTE sometime in the future but at moment I'm specifically looking a spiders/ convertibles/targas to even my garage up.Like to have best of both worlds coupe/ convertible

Yes. Manuals are rare and probably over budget. When you understand the F1 box it’s pretty good except I slow town driving.
F1 superfast II gearbox in 430 Scuderia is simply the best gearbox I've driven.Nuttbelle said:

I've had a manual 430. If I had another I would choose F1 as its more seamless with the e-diff.A manual 360 will give you virtually the same experience (with better sound) as a manual 430 for far less cost. Most who hype them have not lived or driven with a manual 430, the technology of the time meant it was better suited to F1.

360 seems better suited to manual than F430 then ?A manual 360 will give you virtually the same experience (with better sound) as a manual 430 for far less cost. Most who hype them have not lived or driven with a manual 430, the technology of the time meant it was better suited to F1.
How does a 20 yr old cloth roof hold up on 360/430

I would buy a F1 430 spider for that money. I owned a manual 360 spider and it would feel old now, it didn’t feel it was that fast (coming out of an M3 at the time) and I personally felt the handling was lacking. The 430 felt a lot quicker and the handling was more confidence inspiring, plus I would buy one with F1 box, which I now prefer! Sounds fab too.

Should of mentioned I previously had one and replaced it with my current 430 Scuderia so it would potentially be like returning to an old girl friend now she is 10 years olderGassing Station | Ferrari V8 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
