    I know what you meant ;)

    I just wanted to lock up a long term 355 first since they're much harder to come by. Even though I could've bought a 458 with not much more. 458 is probably the most modern Ferrari that I want. F12 close second.

    The F8 is appealing also from the Turbo gen cars. 488 does nothing for me.

    LHD. Totally thought it was the UK car. My bad. Carry on.

    I am very impressed with your detective work and execution. Especially in a foreign language. I’ve been to Japan twice and no way I could have gotten anything done (automotive related) without going with fluent speakers.

    That is a right hand drive car and trust me I was all over that thing when it came up only to be disappointed when I learned it was RHD. :D

    This one I found was not for sale. I tracked down the owner through some detective work...talked to him for a few months and convinced him to sell. He had some other cars he wanted to move into so the timing and stars aligned.

    It just had a fresh major in 2020 at Ferrari dealership. Has all keys, documentation and records since new, tool kit, etc. etc.

    Completely original no modifications. Unfortunately for the car I will be swapping some of the usual bolt ons on as I don't care to be all original. :D

    What did it sell for? At least it's blue.

    I am not a blue car guy, but now I really want one, LOL. I definitely don’t want RC again, so I am cool with the black I bought. The only color I don’t like is Giallo. And I love green, but would not own a green car. I am weird :)

    I like certain blues as well. The 355 lines show nicely. Just can’t decide which is the best blue. Too many shades to choose from.

    As long as you don’t go full primer gray interior, I’d consider you normal :p.

    ^^^^^^Haha.... I am stuck with black. Not going to try and buy anything else. Just enjoy what I have :)

    My Turbo BMW is what I need to really get done. 400+ HP. White/Tan. I have a White 740e BMW and a White Suburban. So I got lots of white [emoji51]

    Best blue is blue scuro mica which is the blue on Robb’s car. Of course this is subjective.:)

    Yes, I’m partial. But love ALL the blues on the F355. Even the azurro Dino car in Europe

    I would order Blu scozia on an F8... or just match my F355

    As a spider lover I can only say that is a seriously beautiful car. If I were looking for Berlinetta, that would be it.

    Love your car. Wish I jumped on it when you were on the fence regarding selling. I think it's wise to hold on to it though given how hard it is to find sorted and nice spec Berlinetta's now. :)

    6k mile gts sold in south Florida for 200k in the past week or 2. Offer came in before the car hit the market.

    Was it a Blk/Blk? If it is the car I am
    Thinking of, 4500 miles in 2017, sold for $94 needing service. Sold for $105 or $110 in 2019?? Story is fuzzy, but should be that car. Suppose to be as new and perfection.

    I would say 355's are officially collectible now. Don't think they're ever going back down from here barring global economic collapse that drags everything down.

    Anything low mile, rare spec and sorted is snatched up immediately for numbers twice as high as a year or two ago.

    You could be right. They're 25 years old now so they're starting to enter the collectible 'classic' age and we're starting to see the first Classiche certiffied cars, first car (?) breaking $200k, more and more cars are 'sorted', and regular maintenance doesn't seem so extraordinary at all compared to the purchase price anymore (where maybe some people found it hard to justify on a $45k car)

    You forgot to mention it was manual :)

    If that car sold for $200k, your car is worth $300k. USD.
