I am going to order a fuel pump for the 308. It comes to $150 bucks after shipping. Dealer down the road wanted to charge $300+

Jim, that is the big problem. The price is right, but when you add exchange, duty and shipping it can get out of hand. Do your research first! Then again, where else are you gonna find this stuff?!?!? The price Ferrari Uk quoted me on suspension parts came out less then half of what the dealer in Canada is charging!

In all fairness, i looked at pictures of the three models on supercars.net and just hazarded a guess- There was really no precise method to my madness (as if there ever is...) |

Hi all. To answer Kurt's query on supplying the US... The answer is YES ! We are authorised to sell parts to the States if the car that they fit falls into the "has been out of production for 10 or more years" category. Otherwise we can supply FNA parts directly which a US customer orders from FNA. Also, once you have registered on www.owners.ferrari.com you are free to order any parts that are available on the site regardless of which models they fit. I hope this clarifies for all. Remember - once you've registered on the Factory site, the parts catalogues and online purchasing is only 3 clicks away ! Regards.

I've had the personal tour of Ferrari UK, very VERY interesting :-) I liked the molds they have, molds for engine cranks and such, valued at 1 pound. They are, seriously. One thing that I think Jeff should clarify though before you lot get your hopes up, that is unless things have changed. Ferrari UK are not allowed to ship to us here in the USA, unless we buy from the owners site, but then If I am correct, we can only buy parts for the car we own. So, suppose I own an a 308GTB, but I want a Turbo for an F40, will you ship me one to my address in the USA? Whats the scoop Jeff, can you export to me?

Well I was close anyway Wayne. Close, but no cigar. I thought the old fender was the most interesting artifact present. |

Arlie, the fender is from a (late)1962 to 1963 250GTE or 330 America. |

I'll bet that the prices are just like those on old American collector car parts. The slower they move, the higher the price. After 30 or 40 years, they never move because the price is too high. Like a dog chasing his tail. By the way, what is that old right front fender from? 250 America, 330GT? (Yeah, I should know, but I'm not a textbook Ferrari expert.)

Nice 365 2 mount block! ( Looks Like ) Must be a heck of a overhead there. Some of those parts may not move for years.

Actually, I looked it up to be sure and only the rear wheels and tires were widened. Oh well! |

wayne, agreed- the side angle would help. I suspect he has gone home for the evening leaving us to wait for tommorow |

All had the single wiper. I believe the fenders are slightly more flared over the tops of the wheel wells on the 512 cars as opposed to the 365's to accomodate wider tires. From this angle, they don't look very flared at all, but it's difficult to tell. Ok, I'll go with 365. |

The shirt is Authorised Fila Ferrari product. Available to UK customers only via www.ferrariwebshop.co.uk and probably thru FILA in the States. You would not believe I am only 18 ! |

i'm such a sad story- almost none of that stuff has any effect on me... If i were in a store and walked passed all that stuff, i wouldn't even know what it was for... i DO like the yellow boxes, the Farina badges and the speedometer, though (all very awesome!)... The wheel is nice, that would be cool for the collection... But most importantly, Jeff- i like your shirt...! |
