*** Interested parties should note, this vehicle was subject to a CAT S insurance loss in 01/2024 ***
Highlights
- Besides the front-end damage, the remainder of the car, including all mechanicals are reportedly in very good condition
- Low mileage and impeccable MOT history
- Deemed “repairable” by the insurance company and therefore able to be returned to the road
The Appeal
Ouch.
The eagle-eyed among you will doubtless have clocked that this Ferrari has sustained a ‘tap’ to the front end. It’s resulted in a ‘Category S’ insurance loss - structurally damaged but, crucially, repairable.
Pre-accident, this was a lovely example of the Ferrari 360 Modena - perhaps the most iconic millenium era supercar. Fitted with the legendary Tipo F131 engine and lightening-quick ‘F1’ automated manual transmission, these cars are among the most engaging cars ever to roll through the gates at Maranello. Unsurprisingly, they’re still exceedingly desirable.
Freshly serviced prior to current ownership and the last MOT passed first time with no advisories, this was a superb example with just 45,000 miles on the clock. Resplendent in Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior, it’s the spec to have, making this an eminently worthy candidate for repair. The vendor informs us that besides the obvious front-end damage, the car remains in very good condition. Most notably, the engine and gearbox are said to be unharmed by the incident and you’ll also note that no airbags were deployed.
Now’s the time to get your hands on the next winter project. For many, this is surely the perfect entrée to Ferrari ownership.
The History and Paperwork
- Last MOT test completed in September 2022, resulting in a first-time pass with no advisories
- MOT now expired
- Services mostly carried out by specialists with invoices and original maintenance book present
- Owner’s handbook and manuals complete with presentation wallet
- Acquired by the vendor in December 2022
- Involved in an accident, resulting in CAT S insurance loss
The Condition
- Rosso Corsa paintwork
- Nero leather interior
- 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with Rosso brake callipers
- Several panels at the front of the car will require replacement and an inspection of the vehicle’s structure is recommended
- The front impact has affected the shut lines and panel alignment around the car
- The rear of the car was not impacted during the accident (besides a very small scuff on the offside of the bumper) - so it would appear the repair work is localised to the front
- Some damage is apparent to the windscreen but the remainder of the glass appears in good order
- Superb original interior, in line with the low mileage
- Aftermarket DIN stereo installed - Sony DSX-A42UI
- Airbags not deployed during the accident
- We understand the cabi electrics to be in good working order
- For transportation purposes, the nearside front tyre no longer holds air
The Mechanics
- 395bhp V8 3.6L engine - the acclaimed Tipo F131
- F1 automated manual transmission
- Aftermarket Tubi exhaust system installed
- The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 26 September 2022 at 44,525 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with no warnings or advisories

- Last serviced in September 2022 at 44,509 miles
- Wheels re-aligned in October 2022
- The cambelt, tensioners and other recent works were carried out during the service in September 2022
