Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Francis's 308GT4

[francis newman (francis]

Hi Rick

I'll send you some pics later.

RHD. Blue dino metallica is original colour. Interior is crema, was beige 
originally. I have the complete history. Engine rebuilt in 99.

Mechanically I think it is sound. Some bodywork issues but I have had it fully 
inspected and know what to expect.

Now has 16 inch Speedline 5 spoke wheels. would have been nice to have had 
original 14 inch, and I have the possibility to buy some but the tyres are 
exhorbitant and 'I'm told it handles better aand actually I think it looks 
better on these anyway so not too bothered. Smaller steering wheel, but right 
style and looks good and original steering wheel comes with it.

Has electronic ignition, refurbed distributor and new HT leads recently.

Looked after (and has lived at)  for over 10 years by a local Indie highly 
reputed Ferrari race shop.

More soon.

Francis
