    Hi All,

    Looking at picking up a 355 GTS and wanted to get it inspected and checked by an independent Ferrari specialist/mechanic here in Melbourne - can anyone recommend someone to go to that they can vouch for based on personal experience?

    Cheers,

    Anthony

    Graeme Vincent if he's still around or Tim at Black Stallions

    The other replies here should be interesting

    I've been using Paul @ https://sportscarservices.com.au for my 360 & very happy.
    He does a wide variety of classic & sports cars - Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati etc.
    Lorbek also use him for the cars they sell.

    Black stallion in Ringwood as has been suggested. Look no further.

    Tim has many years experience with Ferraris and knows what's what.

    Isn't everyone on here? Why do you think Greg's spa is so popular?

    And make sure that who you choose to do the PPI, isn't the mechanic that has been servicing the car - too much opportunity for a conflict of interest.

    I think there's a web page about it

    Which one of you was the dumbass who was going on about my signature again? Was it JJ? I wonder if he's worked out out yet.
