I always prefered the F355 without the challenge grill. Think the 360 suits it though.

That will sound awesome with the tubi and decat. Top work

Good base car for an MR2 conversion?

Emailing him now.

Any news Sanjoy?

Most of the specialist dealers recommeded getting one especially if an aftermarket exhaust was fitted. Apparently it makes it seem louder and also lets more heat out the engine bay.

That will sound awesome with the tubi and decat.

Hope so. It was fitted new 600 miles ago

Not yet. Dont think it will get delivered till sometime next week.
I haven't even laid eyes on it yet!!

I used an independant dealer/broker to source one and got his written appraisal and verification of the service history etc. Then it went to a main Ferrari garage for a full pre-purchase inspection, compression test, road test etc. That flagged up some minor(£1500ish

). things which were to be put right at the sellers cost

It had a few months MOT left but the Tubi exhaust and decat had been done post MOT so it went through another one a week ago mainly to make sure it passed the emmissions test. The seller had also lost/misplaced the Head Unit of the 10 disk cd thingy so was paying for a replacement to be fitted. I haven't found time to go down to Essex to get it and I believe it is a 8/9 hr drive back so it is as well to get it trailered up on a covered transporter thingy.

Didn't think I could be so patient!!

Nice one Jim

Is it the one you sent me details of? That one was sweeet

Regardless - remember Dundee isn't far from you, so if you're ever at a loose end, you're more that welcome to join our 7 group for a blat/blether/drool
