One of the 33 manual cars - slightly higher mileage than its stable mates (starts with a '3') - taking up room in my shed that could be used for something more 'special'

Should I sell and trade up?

OK, I'll kick things off! Beautiful cars that are finally on the move upwards and the resulting values do indeed put you in the realm of cars that would have been in a different league a couple of years ago; I guess things like nice 612's or newer Maserati GT's- if it must have four seats and remain Italian.
Personally the 456 was always a poster car for me and I was recently in the market for one, assuming I could move my LHD 550 for the right price. However after finally driving one I found it disappointing in comparison to the 550. This was an early car though; is the M a very different drive?

I also have a 550 and TBH I find the drives very similar - the difference is more the overall 'package' - for me nothing (and I mean literally nothing) can beat the 550 for looks and smile factor

my 456GT is a keeper, over 51k miles now

Can't think of a better GT car, and its pretty too :-)

Interesting I also have a 456M RHD Manual here is Australia and because of the scarsity of Manual RHD Ms no one seems to know what they are worth.

any one got an idea of the valve in UKP?
