You think he hated the low beam/high beam switch also? |

I have the same pic and stories in Gilles book I bought in Italy, actually he had a 308 GTB and a GTS later. His wife had a blue 308 given to her by Enzo that Jacques was in the passenger seat. |

It was (is) an orangish color. It was stock from the factory that way (euros of the time were running one tailpipe, US only got dual pipes). I have a great pic of it in a Ferrari book with some stories about him driving sideways into the parking lot for formal Ferrari dinners, doing donuts in the Scuderia lot, etc. If only I could remember what book (I don't have it at school). Other than that I don't know much. I think he was too busy with racing to really get involved in modding a car, anything done to it would be factory stuff but I kind of doubt much would be done. |

Mark, you may be right in that it's orange. I also wonder if it was stock or were there mods done to it (other than the tailpipe) |

I don't know if this has been discussed before but I've always been curious...
I know that Gilles drove a 308. I've seen one model (I think made by bbr)of it sporting one large tailpipe.
Does anyone have any info on this car? Who owns it now, s/n, year, etc. and any other models made of this car besides the bbr vesion? (If anyone has the bbr model for sale or knows where I can obtain one, please let me know!)
Maybe L. Wayne has info on this....?
Thanks |
