    Yep your right, if I was to lay out a quarter of a million quid I think I’d probably PM A knowledgeable Ferrarist send him a Fortnums hamper and wait until one popped up out of the mysterious world of the rich n famous,
    Or buy yours when you decide you need space in the garage for a lotus

    Yes I still have the starfish wheels, they are mint with the original tyres still fitted. I'll just keep them as is, I prefer the CS style wheels. The only original piece missing is the exhaust but it doesn't bother me that much!

    Well I can’t imagine there are too many 360 s left with the original exhaust, they don’t do the engine note justice like so many aftermarket brands can

    I don't know. Like I said, none are selling. I think we're the only ones who like them.

    I know it’s controversial but the P76 would probably last longer

    Let me know how you go with your clutch. Is it skipping?

    I still have mine with the original exhaust but there are tell tale signs the powder is disintegrating within..

    After the car warms up you get to the traffic lights and it refuses to select 1st or when your slowing down it will go to 3rd then neutral then no gear select available, it takes about 2oooklms to get to useless stage it just gets worse, no slipping though, mine was at 95% wear at 122,000 klm, last clutch done at 82,000, I’ve honestly read some rubbish about the F1 system, really they’re very reliable and great value cars, I couldn’t warrant getting rid of mine after I’ve got it up to speed what with brakes, fuel pumps, wheel bearings, ball joints, clutch, F1 pump, ac and 2 major services too boot, hopefully that’s it for another 4 years But lots of fun, I’d have spent more on cigarettes if I were a smoker
