Yes and Michel Sheehan again panned the 308 GT4 in his latest article in Forza talking about 308 prices doubling!

Spotted this today.....
1978 308GTB sold at auction in France last week for an eye watering $202,640 Euro... or $226,000USD inculding all fees and taxes.

I thought it MUST have been a factory rally car with race history but no... it's a bog standard blue GTB that has been repainted even and has paper work for life and one (not famous) owner.... I am amazed!

I have been saying for years that this was going to happen to this model when the Magnum PI generation came into serious money.  There are a lot of us out their and their wealth is growing all the time. This is the extreme end at the moment but I think time will prove me right on this one.  The good cars will get very good money in time.
