Following on from my May Market Watch update I was contacted by a 360 owner who pointed out that the number of cars on our roads today was far less than reportedly imported to the UK during the 360 production run. This prompted me to do a little more digging… Before looking at the official VOSA … More Ferrari 360 & F430 UK Production Numbers
VOSA have released their latest statistics for vehicles registered in the UK so I thought I’d build a table of how the numbers of 360s have been changing over the last few years (the data doesn’t go beyond 2010). The number of 360s in the UK has been steadily declining – there are now nearly … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (May14)
The 360 was offered with the option of a “Racing” exhaust system, the code was EXA1 and it cost an additional £3,113.75. This exhaust system was subsequently fitted to the Challenge Stradale and gives the trademark “bark” when accelerating hard. Very few 360s were fitted with this option, however a number of franchised dealers in … More Ferrari 360 Racing Exhaust
A common issue with front bumpers is the tabs that hold the bumper to the under tray break. This allows the under tray to drop, allowing moving air to push it further down and flap around. This sequence of photos was taken on an F430 bumper but the procedure is exactly the same for a … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Front Bumper Repair
Further to my posts on track rod end replacement and refurbishment, I thought I’d write up my experiences with the new Hill Engineering track rod ends. My new (to me) F430 had significant play in both sides and faced with the choice of replacement or refurbishment I thought I’d give the new Hills items … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Track Rod Ends (Hill Engineering)

This post will guide you through the procedure to replace the rubber bushes that hold the ARB to the chassis and the drop links that connect the ARB to the wishbone. Firstly, raise the front end of the car so both wheels are off … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Front Anti Roll Bar Bushes and Droplinks
The rear undertray needs to be removed for a multitude of reasons so I thought it would be useful to note how it is affixed and to share my method of removal and re-fitment without a ramp. The 360 has a very similar undertray so most of what I have written here will apply for that … More Ferrari F430 Rear Undertray
A brief update this month as I’m very busy working on my new F430. Before I get into this months data I’d like to point readers to my Buying Guide – it is a work in progress and would I appreciate any feedback. Average 360 asking prices have dropped a touch from last month – … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Apr14)
I spent this morning with my friend, and fellow Ferrari owner, Valerio. We decided to try out a vacuum kit he built in order to facilitate changing the coolant. We did this on his 360 and my F430 and the procedure was, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same. The reasoning behind using a … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Coolant Change Using Vacuum
It finally feels like we’re turning a corner weather wise in the UK which should herald the start of the driving season and hopefully increased activity in the used Ferrari market over here. Average asking prices have risen 0.59% MoM which leaves the AV360PI index at 102.53. The number of cars for sale has also … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Mar14)
