can old Ferrari’s be sorted

[vonders]

Keen to know, is there an older Ferrari out there that has all of its potential issues known with more permanent fixes available? Looking to get my first ferrari.

I would prefer to start with an older Ferrari to have more attachment with the car but you hear of all these stories of Ferrari parts breaking after 10k miles and such and such. Surely now aftermarket parts are well documented and an older Ferrari could be modded to become a lot more harder wearing?

Point being if I knew for example I could get a 355 for 60k and spend 20k on it immediately making it reliable with tougher parts, well that’s not a bad proposition even including the standard servicing, for such a classic experience.

Is there a particular older model that lends itself to this? Or is it just better to steer clear

Thanks for the tips.

Love the 308 and Testarossa. Really Love the 355 - saw a silver one the other day and my heart started pounding and I became transfixed. Surreal experience.

Would go silver with Bordeaux red interior, they’re a work of art.

Do you know any good Indy’s around Kent / Essex / Surrey area?

Judging by the responses later Mondials look a good bet, especially at current prices! Is it just the looks then that turn people off? They look fine to me.
I was thrown a curveball a few weeks ago, borrowed a California for the weekend. I thought I'd hate it but it was amazing. The engine, sound, gearbox blew me away and it had presence without being too big.
