Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Now GT4s

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Hi Rob,

 

I bought my 308gt4 in 1992, still have it and I won’t be selling it any time soon. I’ve modified mine here and there so it’s not exactly a pristine, concourse car but that doesn’t worry me and I love to drive it – country roads, track days, etcetera.

 

I saw your first gt4 when I visited you a few years back and to my eye it is amazingly pristine, so the second one must be off the planet brilliant to be even better than that. But maybe that is part of the dilemma! Because it is so perfect you have it on jack stands and don’t drive it and if you did drive it maybe it would lose some of that “perfection”.

 

Yet I imagine the actual driving experience in either of your gt4s is almost identical and to the uninitiated, both would appear similarly “perfect”, so why not keep the first, drive it like Enzo and Niki Lauda intended and maybe then get yourself a V12 for a complete contrast.

 

Cheers,

Grahame

All,

 

I may have an opportunity to sell the 1974 euro GT4 for what I paid for it...  My gut says no, but have only driven it a couple of hundred miles in 3 years and it’s been on jack stands for 1. It has a leak in one of the central aluminum tubes necessitating an engine removal to fix.

 

Beautiful car. Just thought I would run it by all of you.....I am not sure I’ll live long enough to sort it out...
