See lots of nonsense posted particularly by Pork owners. So I thought I would mention a friend whose Ferrari 360 is in daily use and whose odometer has now passed 203,000 miles. Currently has a clutch slave cylinder weeping a bit and one of the two engine cooling fans failed for the second time, but no bore scoring or intermediate shaft issues, no engine rebuilds and no oil consumption. A couple of years ago he had a gearbox linkage problem - a minor but not uncommon issue.
Enzo Ferrari was primarily an engine builder and for many years used to rely on outside contractors to do the bodywork. Scaglietti was one such. Whenever I have done work on my own Ferrari I have been impressed by the build quality revealed behid covers, door cards etc.
Interesting the way that false reputations are given by word of mouth. Porsche reliability - when they arent that good. Ferrari costly repairs - when the build quality is generally good. In business I had a string of British cars all of which ( bar the Fords) were reliable. Never an issue with Austin Rover but british people damned them in favour of German and even ( god forbit) French..
