Ferrari 360
Modena
In
2019 I bought a Ferrari 360 Modena to replace my Lotus Esprit. After
16 years of Lotus ownership I wanted a change and I was interested
to see what the competition was like! Having spent many years deriding
Ferraris as the obvious choice of sports car, I went and bought one.
Middle age has a lot to answer for!
My
car is Ferrari 360 Modena, with an F1 gearbox and was made in early
2000. It came with a full service history and services by a Ferrari
main dealer for the last 8 years. The car is fitted with a Challenge
Stradale rear panel, for better engine heat dispersion and a Tubi
exhaust system, which is far to loud than the standard exhaust. The
car handles beautifully through corners and there is lots of grip
from the Pirelli P Zero tires. The performance is very impressive,
with linear acceleration, something quite different to the Lotus Esprit
Turbo, that has turbo lag. I am really enjoying driving it.

The
Rosso Corsa paintwork was looking a little tired, so I had the Ferrari
paint mopped and then ceramic coated. The swirl marks were removed
and the paint looks much more vibrant and glossy.

The
front seat side bolsters were looking worn and cracked, so I had these
restored by Leather Repair Master in Reading. They removed a couple
of scratches on the seat too. They did an excellent job and a perfect
colour match and not to expensive.

We
had a great day at Stonor Supercar Sunday in the beautiful Oxfordshire
countryside. There was a great selection of cars there and I was very
proud to display my Ferrari.

I
had Ferrari serviced by QV London in Windsor. They gave the car a
basic service and commented on how good the car was and they couldn't
fault it. It was given an MOT too.
