Once its gone, its GONE, folks!
My engine mechanic is already scouring the earth looking for genuine
Vandervelle Engine Bearings for 308 motors....the current 'crop' of
aftermarket crap being passed-off as Ferrari parts these days makes him
very scared for the future of these machines. LOTS of OEM suppliers
of Ferrari parts have given-up the limited market of Italian exotics
support, and the only folks picking-up the torch are the Chinese knock-off
crowd who don't give two-shits about the original
Specs/dimensions/tolerances of the part they're reproducing and offering
today. If you think that's a good thing, you might want to trade-in
your 308 for a Honda now.....

Michael,
I should have done that, too. When I bought new Euro front lenses
from Ferrari UK, I bought two pair. I put the second pair on eBay with
no reserve and selling that one pair almost paid for both pair. And that
was several years ago....

One step ahead of you....I've been stockpiling 308 Carello
plastic for two years now. If anyone wants a Carello Turn
Signal assembly (minus lense) for their 308 front bumper, I have
one or two NOS units I can spare....

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS?
Yikes -
And here I was bitching about dropping a
grand on a real Bosch complete lens set with silver trim for
our '71 911T restoration.
Seems if we buy a newer Ferrari we also
need to invest in "crunchables" such as bumpers, light cans
and lenses. Then, place them in a Halliburton Zero 21"
carbon fiber carry on and place the whole mess in a cool dry
place.
Thank God the Italia only has two tail
lights - THE reason to buy one.

Great advice.
Darn good thing as the only available front
driving lamps for the 512TR are for French version cars or
Euro version. A pair of them will relieve you of a wee bit
over $3k.

Clear bra would have that stuff. Not a bad idea for the
348/512TR owners as all those lamps are approaching
extinction if not already there.Brian
