Thought why not. Only live once and all that and the price was very very competitive - needs some work I will do myself and then will enjoy! Plan to run it for 12 months and move on at no loss!!! I cannot wait!!! It's a dream come true!!!

Thanks guys!!

Needs a full belt service and some other minor bits and even if it needs some major work the price I have paid it is a safe bet. Needs UK reg and I'm not put off by this and all the work as I run my own workshop and work with lots of Italian cars.

I paid minimal market value for it so it's really was a no brainer. Plus it has had a full PPI by a Ferrari main dealer with a glowing report with only minor issues on top if what I already knew!!

SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

I think the point is you don't get to choose the colour of your second hand bargain!

Looks great, very classy. Would you take pics of the work you do and keep the thread updated? Thx!
Thanks for all the comments! I still can't believe it's happening!

Colour wasn't a choice unfortunately and if I had one it would be black. Red or yellow is not for me - I know driving a ferrari is far from discrete but in a quiet colour it adds a touch if class rather than screaming look at me!

I am getting it registered this week and then will be collecting it in the next 2 weeks or so. I will add some pictures as we do the work over the winter. I have a slight feeling of worry as it was very cheap and I do hope there isn't a reason for that!!! It all seems genuine and I have had a PPI done as well as speaking to some very helpful contacts I am fortunate enough to know so I have done everything I can. Plus the price was that good there is room for some unexpected issues and everyone I have discussed it with and stated how much I can get it for the reaction has been much the same.......BUY IT!!!
