Your spot on  Brit

I called it early 

You can see a blonde with fake tits a mile out, and this was one of them 

But hey. What do I know

I have only owned and driven these cars since 1986 and have what 200k plus of seat miles in them not just washing and waxing them!

 The ouch this guy is going to get will be like watching ENRON stock !

You know guys, I had a 328gts for 7 happy years. And if somebody wants to pay stupid money for one then so be it. Not worth that money to me in a million years but I guess if you have more money then you can spend you don’t care….

However, that aside I have restored, to a proper level over 20 cars, mostly Italian and I learned from the best in the U.K. I have to say I don’t understand how you can spend 39k dollars to do the work listed in the advert unless US shop prices are a supreme ripoff, OR 2. There is more work being required than listed. And then the question is why? I had 80k miles on my 328 and it didn’t require the majority of work listed. And a cam belt service at any number of shops in the U.K. with a water pump rebuild is still less than 1500k GBP ( including 20% VAT) and a 3-4 day job. ( so about 2200.00 USD). So I don’t know what the hell somebody paid 39k for but sounds like utter BS to me but then hey, it’s their money  ( of course at that rate it soon will be everyone else’s money but stupid is what stupid does).
The second point however and I stand by this - the underside of that car with the pictures shown is many many times lower than I would expect for a car with this miles and that price. That car wouldn’t even get to start to compete at the FOC concours in the U.K. ( I entered many times) and there are at least a dozen 328s I know personally in the U.K. alone in much better condition both from the engine bay pictures and the underneath that are valued for insurance purposes at about 120k USD. My point is, that is not a “nice” car. I can see it in the pictures and I assume it’s worse in person. The seller and the buyer either don’t understand what a “nice” clean car is or they didn’t care. But that car is not even close to the condition that warrant 1/3 of the price. I really don’t think people understand what I good Ferrari looks like OR the market in the US is so distorted compared to the Euro market that this is “normal” for us buyers. Glad I don’t live there anymore (at least for the Ferrari market).

And yes, anybody can spend what they want on what they want so don’t reply and tell me that. I’m just saying that whoever bought that thing must either not know or not care but nobody is going to tell me the car is nice or in good condition. (And my 328 was a lhd which are worth less in the U.K. than RHD).

Changing subject:

I’m taking the 512tr (ex-Clyde) to it’s big import inspection on Tuesday. wish me luck! It’s very strict, very long and without it I can’t use the car here. The snow has cleared enough that I can get it to the inspection station. Once inspected I can get plates and then it’s a summer of Scandinavian driving for the ex Atlanta car!

I respectfully disagree!  Ha That price is insane, I wonder what this earlier handbuilt fully restored much rarer

car with real carburetors would sell for!

The 328 is the best of the 3 series across the board to include the 348/355/360
