Been looking at prices for 355's in the classifieds (open mouthed I might add!), all cars irrespective of condition seem to be going up. I nearly pulled the pin a few years back (2009) on a car @ £31k, but like a lot of 355's the overall condition was ropey. There is a thread I can't find about a vanquish bought with a gearbox fault a few years ago for £14k, in a similar vein what's the cheapest anyone has bought a 355 for?, I'm guessing some traders must have acquired cars for low twenties?

There were those ex-Silverstone experience 355s that went for low 20s maybe ten years ago so must have been batch-bought by the original trader in the teens

Not quite on topic, but the Silverstone 360 fleet is being sold off at the moment. They are well used with around 80,000 miles on the odometer - yours for a bargain £33k.....

I know what you mean, back in 2011 I nearly signed for a black GTS, 99 S plate for 35k but I couldn't bring myself to part with my T350 - something I still have a lot of regrets about as the 355 was in stunning condition.

An ex Silverstone 360 F1 in silver sold in the trade for £15k after it had gone off the track backwards and into a tyre wall, the car ran and drove but the rear quarters and engine cover were in need of tlc and as I remember it had done circa 80k. The car appeared on ebay a week later for 22k ono and ever since I have regretted buying the car, I had the chance to top the 15k offer by 500 and own it on the day but hey ho, mistakes happen!

I think I found them on Ebay, either search for Ferrari 360 in cars for sale, sort by price, and they're the first ones after the hire car, the crashed and sold 348, and the Noble.

Item 181712699850 (you can paste the item no into the ebay search box)is a blue one in London, not exactly forthcoming about the car history.

271839323263 is a silver one, says selling on behalf of a private customer, but does admit it is an ex Silverstone car.
