What do you guys think of this one. I got shafted on yet another Vantage so I have expanded my search. Its ~15-20K cheaper then the vantage convertibles I have been looking at.

Then one of the bigwigs at my corp office sent me his legal battle with lemoning his new DB9.

I have been told by reliable sources that 70 would take it.

Get it!! Drive the snot out of it, then have a lottery on who gets to buy it from you for challenge money and sell it back to you for the same price after the challenge. LOL

Gorgeous! But the irregular gap between the top of the front bumper and the body really bugs me.. how hard would that be to fix??

Planning on track time? you may want to see who will let you run w/ a convertible w/o a "broomstick test" roll bar. I don't think SCCA or NASA will, though I think I recall seeing on of these at a Trackdaze event at NJMP a couple years ago.

There are a couple on ebay with "buy it now" for low-mid $60's. I don't have any idea why I'm looking, but it came up.

Regardless, you only live once.

I'd highly recommend it, if you have the means.

Ebay link

$66k with 19k miles. Then I saw the interior. That is, uh, green. Wow.

The 360 Spider is by far the most thrilling street car I have ever had the chance to autocross. It's not within my means to even dream of owning one, but if I could, I already would.

Wow, I actually kind of like that interior. But the F1 transmission is a problem, wearymicrobe wants a 3-pedal manual if I remember correctly. The F1 has troubles.

He apparently has the means, too. ;-)

No track time for a car like this I would just buy a older miata and build somethng resembling a spec car on the cheap.

As for the coupes. Not as much resale value and not as much fun, though I have actually seen some decent ones in the high 50's in my circles.

Also no F1 transmission, with the updated clutches available that are non factory its not worth the risk.

Yeah, the interior is green, but at least you get free backgammon boards in the footwells.
