I have 95% decided to get a 355 (or later model) from Nick Cartwright but want to explore the difficulty of ownership before I commit to ownership

Can any suggest the best Indie to look after her near to Liverpool please and any specific pointers on 355 ownership ie a B over an S ?

Thanks in advance

See Nick at R&D Automotive in Eccles.He looked after my 355 when I had it and fixed a niggly intermittent fault which several other specialists could not find/misdiagnosed.
They have the proper diagnostic equipment SD1/SD2? too and their prices are reasonable.

Recommend R&D too, albeit spent £5k with them trying to find an F1 fault. Most competent garages can sort minor niggles out.

Phoenix Motorsport have experience with the V8 Ferrari's according to the owner. They're in Accrington. Not too far from Liverpool.

JMH automotive in Holmes chapel are excellent and they run a number of race 360's which always gives me some confidence that they know what they are doing - in the north west we are very well served by good specialists

Superb guys thanks - I need someone to do a good pre order inspection inc cyl vac readings - the dealer is in Southport so any of the North West guys can do it BUT can someone advise a company they have used to PPI to great satisfaction please.

Reading the 355 site is invaluable but raises more worries than ever LOL

Once again any advice on a good inspector rec is appreciated

I think that any of the above garages will do a very good job - when I bought my car I just asked the dealer to deliver it to the garage as they will need to hook it up to the SP2 (?) computer and get it up on their ramps etc

Any garage worth their salt will be happy to deliver it to a decent specialist if they think you are serious

have fun
