Love the look and even managed to find a dry road and sun yesterday for a mini-blast

+ 1 Think the 430 gets better with age.

I like them more now than I did when they were out.

they seem to be creeping back up to the £100k mark again lately.

To me, the best looking Ferrari of the modern/injection engine era.

Im not a fan. I think it's a very uncohesive shape. From a design point of view an LP-560 is far more resolved, but life would be dull if we all liked the same things .

Funny, I didn't like them much when they were new. But now I like them more than any Ferrari since the original Dino. Which is why I bought one

I think the only think that puts me off the looks (and it's easily solved) is that the rear wheel looks lost in the arch...makes it look too small for the car.

It actually creates the optical illusion that the rear wheel is smaller than the front, from side on.

Mine just looked awkward to me. The spider is particularly weird looking to me. Not a patch on lambo or Aston lines, but it's true - if we all liked the same things then it'd b a dull world.

OEM ride height too high, easily cured when applying a more driver focussed geo to dial out the understeer.
In conjunction with fitting 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers (Hill Engineering) I got mine lowered 25mm when I had some scud springs fitted but tbh it's a little hard to live with so I'm going to get it raised back up 10mm to be about scud ride height.

101% agree...

250 LM is my favourite Fezza and you can see the lineage...
