I was driving though the Cotswolds today and drove past a tiny little outdoor second hand lot next to an equally tiny family owned petrol station.

They had lots of runabouts, including one for just £1980 sat behind this...

No details on it in its window, it's not listed online on PH or AT, all I could tell is it is RHD and manual....

Very high miles as Ferrari's go, plus SORN for 5 years going by MOT history.

Agree - wouldn't be worried about the miles if the price was right, but it's wrong. Seen a few much lower mileage 360s failing to sell at auction for £60k lately...

I've had time to check the MOT history now, yes 75k, very high. Still surprised by the location though. It felt sadly unloved for a red, manual, RHD car even at that mileage.

I'm surprised lower mileage ones are not selling for £60k, but I know nothing about auctions at this end of the market. Retail asking prices seem to have remained strong.

Possibly a track experience car....?

Possibly not taxed for a few years but used on-track....?

Personally i'd check mileage very carefully and ensure no damage underneath. I've also had Ferrari dealer do a Suspension geometry check/re-set when buying a used car as this give peace of mind that its straight - you'd be amazed at how much this improves the feel of a car so money spent won't be wasted.

Is it "Rosso Barchetta" or just a dull day when the photo was taken? The shade of red doesn't look very bright. Also, painting the wheels the original colour would give it a real lift. Still, the price is silly for a 75k mile example. At the right price and with a thorough independent inspection it could be a good buy for someone who isn't hung up over the mileage.

Seems odd, however there is a 360 in a similar setting over at Diss, a good trusted local dealer with a variety of cars from 1500 to the 360 at 60 odd k.
As said earlier something doesn't sit right seeing these cars for sale like this.
