Just been looking at these on PH, these have come down in price sooo much!
There is a Replica here @ £28,000
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/792339.htm
Or the real deal @ £36,000
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/823798.htm
Who in their right mind would go for the rep???

Problem is the running costs.
Cambelt change + full service on a 360 which get done about every 2 minutes is £0000s

Some services include replacing the spark plugs, others should replace the activated charcoal filter (50,000km), or oxygen sensors (70,000km) etc.
Cam belts should be changed every three years regardless of mileage

Must have had alot done! Looking at the costs above it shouldnt be that much for a major service and belt change?

£28k for a replica
About 4 years ago when dad got them M3, you could get Aston Martin DB7's, on about an R-plate for £30k. I'd rather that than the Ferrari tbh.

Know of someone who is building one of these at the minute, The instruction book is rediculous, The actual door handle mechinism is a kitchen door hinge with a peice of wire and there is absolutely no strength in the kit at all, would not like to drive around in a toyota mr2, covered in fibreglass and ply wood with a bit of your kitchen attached, no matter how it looks!

360 is one of the ugliest Ferraris ever.
What is the point in making a replica Ferrari is stupid IMO.

that clears that up then lol
used to be a fake ferrari near me and the copy wasnt good. as above cant quite see the point because as soon as the engine is running or the person pulls away its so obvious that its not the real thing.
much prefer a very well kitted out car with individual mods to keep it original then some re bodied mk2

Agreed. A 355 would probably turn more heads too.
360s are getting quite common these days.
