My memory is a bit dim now, but didn't the 355s with the Motronic 2.7 also have the non-airbag steering wheel?

Either way, the asking price is either an epic typo, or a highly speculative smash n grab

Looks like it's been stored from new, still has protective wrap on carpets.

It's definitely a 2.7 motronic, 5.2's only have one MAF sensor....

If its 1996 it'll be 5.2 with airbag.

Cant help but think it is an April fools though because have you seen the passenger airbag cover? Doesn't look very good as though its been left out in the sun and maybe recovered at some point. The only thing that says low mileage is the plastic wrap on the carpets, but someone may have just left them on. Seats look nice but may have just had some work done on them to make them look so nice.

I noticed the passenger airbag as well. Seen something similar on another car which had 37,000 miles. Gave me the impression it was badly fitted and may have been a replacement, so potential accident damage.

That is a little more unlikely with a low mileage car like this that looks to be genuine from seat condition and plastic wrapping.

All the same £215k seems the best part of £100k strong IMHO.

Like I said dealers are riding the ar53 off the "current market conditions". Think of a number add a nought, if it sells it sells if it doesn't you have almost reset the customer price expectations for the future if you need to reduce due to stock pressure.
I think only real rarities/collectables can sustain this and I wouldn't want to be the one who carried away with the advertised prices and then paid over the odds on a run of the mill car.

By the very nature we are on this forum we probably have a better idea of the market than the average Joe and I do fear there will be some fingers burnt from the unsuspecting.

Whole market is too rich for me at the moment

I was told Ferrari have an airbag replacement schedule... could have been that?
Or just poor fitment at factory and its gone saggy.

The wrinkly air bag cover on the dash is a result of sun damage. Maybe being parked at shows etc.

215k is just ridiculous...

But it isn't a 5.2. It's a 2.7.
