I'm surprised this Ferrari 360 didn't hit reserve and is now on for a Buy Now price of £47K, surely making it one of the cheapest in the country! Has the downturn arrived or am I missing something with this one(?) This would surely be £60-70K on the forecourt?

Least desirable colour (well, to the market - I prefer them in silver or any colour other than red/yellow), F1 gearbox, ‘age related marks’.
There is a bit of softening going on and as this is an auction you’re pretty much staring down the barrel of a possible £10k spend, if not more, on just the mechanicals.
And then there’s the possibility of sticky surfaces etc.
You might get lucky - it’s a buyer’s market at the mo.

Yes, it's starting to look like more of a buyers market. This one only made £39K (+ 12% commission) at Dore & Ress who had an estimate of £50 - 55K on it:

Did it sell for that price?

Why RHD but mileage recorded in kms?

Anyone fancy a 27 Liter? Current bid 64k with 12 hours to go - it could be yours


The car is not for me, but the copywriting is awesome...

"Imagine if a Scimitar GTE was addicted to the gym and protein shakes. Then imagine its dad was the Incredible Hulk. Then paint it beige. You’re halfway there."

It’s a great read, whoever ends up with this will be part of automobile folklore

You can just make an account.

You can't see results though.

I just look when I'm in the market for a car so I can get an idea of the history before it gets tarted up.

It asks for a lot of documents, so I don't think it would be possible.

Ah it's because I made an account when the public could bid pre-covid.

I've changed my password to something generic now.

Let me know if you'd like my log in details because there's not much you'll be able to do with my account given I'm not a registered trader.
