Ferrari Mailing List: Fw: Looking to buy a Ferrari

[Gavin (gavinnz]

Hiya George,
All the points I can think of have been covered very well so far.

All I can say is get the model you really want in your heart, the one you
are most passionate about and DO NOT compromise.

For me it was the RHD Euro spec carbed 308 GTB in red and tan with QV
wheels.     I got mine after 28 years wanting one, and every single time I
pass it in the garage I still do a double take!
