Not advertised its by negotiation and the selling agent is a Ferrari specialist but the car has no warranty implied or given as its a customers car who does not live locally but places it in storage with them

That's over double the price of mine. The specialist is very well known and respected in Ferrari circles and puts his word to the car. I realise that's not perfect but it might be as Good as it gets. When I asked them to inspect it he thought I was mad as they've had the car for 3 years in storage bought out only for servicing then returned to slumber

To be honest I prefer the standard sound as don't want to wake 4 houses down everytime I start it, but yes you're likely right on that

If you’re happy to end up with your car looking like this because you didn’t have it inspected, then just go ahead and throw your money at it.
I thought it was like that due to lack of working key fobs? But naturally I want to avoid hidden pitfalls if possible

They are confident in their ability to assess the car?

Yet they're saying "no warranty implied, or given"

I'm worried for you OP
its a private sale they are just holding the car and maintain it. Nothing in it fot them so they can't offer a warranty? they didn't actually say implied or given but it amounts to the same thing I guess
