Does anyone know these 360 Manuals?
Discussion
Hi there
Am contemplating going back in a time a little in Ferrari ownership with something like a 360 Modena Manual, any colour considered but must be RHD and a manual. Would rather prefer a high mileage car on fresh suspension and mods welcome, so far found these two cars advertised online which look rather nice, quite steep on price but guess that is manual tax:

Now I know a 360 a big step backwards in performance compared to a 458 but I do have a 600 LT Spider in the garage too which has crazy performance levels so I am pondering dropping the 458 as I kind of don't need two silly fast supercars.
Now I'd love a 360 in yellow, but cannot see any manual coupes for sale, I think older Ferrari's red was more the colour to have whereas the modern aged Ferrari buyer is more adventorous with colour choice, and I am thankful for that as red gets a bit boring.
Anyway back to the question in hand does anyone know the history of the two above 360's please? As I say it is a decision I've not truly decided on, ideally I do need to try and find a 360 manual to drive, I am not sure about the F1 box, I've had an E46 M3 CSL and an E60 M5 and did get along with the single clutch gearbox but maybe the one in the 360 is not as good, but at same time I really like the idea on the gated manual shifter.

I don't know the cars, but those prices are insane.
I sold my (non red) 360 manual with similar mileage just under 3 years ago, and it was advertised for £30k less than those. I know prices have gone up, but they haven't gone up that much - there were similarly stupidly priced cars for sale when I sold mine (£75k) which I thought was insane. There were 2 or 3 other manuals advertised at similar price to mine when I sold it.
I loved mine - it was a great car. But I'd have to be taking some damn good mind altering drugs to pay anything like £80k for one.

Yeah they are steeply priced, been for sale for quite some time as well so clearly the market sentiment agrees about the silly pricing.I sold my (non red) 360 manual with similar mileage just under 3 years ago, and it was advertised for £30k less than those.

With the high gap between a F1 and manual 430's it sounds like the sellers are trying to talk the market up ,Am contemplating going back in a time a little in Ferrari ownership with something like a 360 Modena Manual, any colour considered but must be RHD and a manual.

For what ever reason the gap on the 360 is no way near as high as the 430,
I've just replaced my F430 with a 1981 last of the carburetters 308 GTS ,
Sometimes you got to go backwards to go forward

Well I've got a 1978 Corvette Pace car so that is about as far as I want to go backwards. For what ever reason the gap on the 360 is no way near as high as the 430,

Nice Vette. Ferraris and yanks are the best combination.
I've got a Ferrari 360 and a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
Here's a manual 360 for much better money:

Think we have had similar conversation before but it's funny how things have changed,not that long ago a Super Car owner wouldn't been seen
dead in a yank, Classed as vulgar Del-boys cars but now it's a different story with them sharing large European car collections and far cooler than
most Super cars bar Lamborghini's maybe.everyone seems to love a Lambo over other exotics.
My Bullitt Mustang buyer bought for it for his wife replacing her Alfa Spyder and is now rubbing shoulders with a Dino,E Type ,two Astons and a
Derby Bentley ,
Looks like the best kept secret is out .

Sometimes the older cars are more of an occasion, if your not tracking and not bothered about going fast a classic really delivers a lot of enjoyment, of course if you pedal one at national speed limit you feel like your going plenty fast enough anyway.dead in a yank, Classed as vulgar Del-boys cars but now it's a different story with them sharing large European car collections and far cooler than

It why although not a classic by age, I've added a Caterham 420R to my garage as its more fun to drive than any supercar when your up for it and ace on track too.
Of course there is always a place to have a supercar in the collection because a Ferrari, Mclaren, Lamborghini is a very special thing.
I've been into yanks since a 3 month visit to the States back in 1982. Cars were still big back then and the size of them blew my mind.
I got into Supercars after working in Brunei for a few years in the 1990s, working for the Brunei Royal family and regularly seeing all of Prince Jefri's amazing cars.
My old yank always puts a smile on my faces, even though it does 8 mpg. It's smiles per mile.

You seem to have a eclectic taste in cars much the same as me,I should have my Caterham back soon after a woman drove intoI got into Supercars after working in Brunei for a few years in the 1990s, working for the Brunei Royal family and regularly seeing all of Prince Jefri's amazing cars.

me saying that she didn't see me in my fluorescent green 7, Your right a super car is a special experience but you need to be doing
in excess of 120 plus to really enjoy what they are capable of which can be fustrating,with the yanks and to a certain extent also with the Caterham
you scare yourself at 80 or below as you feel you are going much faster then more chance of keeping your licence.
Sounds like you have a car for every occasion
I was in the US for a couple of years very recently and bit the bullet and bought new one of the last ZR1 Corvette's, manual, with no idea how good or bad it might be, just wanted to scratch that itch. Friggin love it! Even tracked it and it was superb. Now figuring out how to bring it back to the UK rather than sell it.....

Having an eclectic taste in cars is good, it makes life more interesting. Not so bothered about following a brand, just like a car for what it is.rs200evo said:

You have an amazing collection of cars. Glad to see some Lotus's on the list, including an Emira.And a 360CS and 550 from the past, those were some fine cars.

That's lovely,you need to bring it back if you can,rare to see one in the UK.Did call in to Ian Allan Motors on the way back from Maranello's the other day just to have a better look
at the later Vette's ,a larger car than i expected ,i do like the size of the C6 Z06 being just a bit more compact.
Only had the older cars ,C2 ,C3 and C4 and these C7's are way in front on build quality .
Can't warm to the C8 at all ,thought it would have grown on me by now but it hasen't so think
you have bought the right model being the end of the era of the front engined Vette's.
Before we get kicked off the Super Car Forum apologies for going slightly off thread

I spoke to the owner of a manual ZR1 at the classic car show in London last week about getting one over. He said as long as you've owned it for 6 month in the USA it's not a problem. He's a member of the Covette Owners club UK if that helps.
It's food for thought for me as I'll be working in the US shortly and would love to bring a ZR1 back. Looks like I might have to stay for a bit! (well, 6 months).

That’s been for sale for ages. I was looking at that months ago, not seen it in the flesh but if it’s good it should have sold for the money?
Had a look at a couple of 360’s one of which I had an inspection done which revealed quite a list.
Found another but HPI showed it had been repainted from grey to red in 2008 which was a shame as red coupe manual with red bucket seats for 50k, but colour change screams to me it no doubt had a bump, plus it’s a bit red on the interior too.
Certainly not pricing easy to find a manual coupe 360.
Still notice the two cars I linked to both for sale maybe I should just offer 20k below their ask, too insulting maybe?
