Well Clyde

I have seen documentary proof that a dealer has offered US$35K for the 

car I am looking at. There are two on offer from dealers at US$62K and 

another one which I know is a bit of a dog and which is on offer for 

US$40K  and for which I know the owner was given US$32K on a trade in for 

a 348.

Of course I take the offer prices with a pinch of salt but they are far 

removed from what you are suggesting.

Of course exchange rates, the relative lack of performance of US spec 

cars etc do make a difference so it's not comparing eggs with eggs. But 

still....

Francis

PS. How much are 308s and 328s fetching over there?

I agree that the 308 GT/4 has gotten better with age and is a very 

cool

car. While it is very, very similar to a 308 GTB, there are enough
differences to make it special in its own way.

It's basically what a 308 would look like if Lamborghini created

it....just look at the Urracco, and the taillights of the Jalpa.

A '73 series I, standard ("euro")

spec would be my pick, modded with

16" QV wheels and modern rubber. I'd also prefer it if it had Dino 

badges as

opposed to Ferrari. Don't believe you see too many of those around.

This car would be more interesting to me than just about all other 

308s

except the carbureted euro GTBs, and maybe even the GTS as well. 

GTBi/GTSi,

and any 308 with US bumpers is too much for me to handle.

Some of the GT4s have the same problem of course.

Carburetors and cars old enough not to need catalytic
converters.....life is good. :)
