    Congratulations.
    I'm sure as time goes by you will enjoy the unique personality TR's have.
    They have their own brand of simplicity and rawness compared to newer Ferraris, abiet more developed than a Boxer.

    My favorite saying with just almost every car I own,
    "Another hundred horse power and it would be perfect."
    I look forward to see how you attain that goal.;) (and how much it would cost for the kit):)

    Congratulation Paul, beautiful car--I'm sure you will enjoy as we have. Look forward to seeing what you do with her, but doesn't look to need anything...one to drive while you restore the other 12's!

    Looks like fun Paul, congrats! It was that TR engine install in the BB that turned you.

    That is a great move. Better to have different cars than all the same. A BB, a TR, now you need to find another 308GTB.

    Finally the cat came out of the bag ;)

    No I need a daytona to experience the model transitions since the boxer replaced the daytona and Testarossa as the boxer's replacement!

    I can say this now that I have both and not get slammed. The boxer is easier to drive than a testarossa. Its also roomier in the cabin especially the leg area and open feel just being in the cabin. A completely different experience so a good choice to have both because they scratch different itches.

    And yes I need a diff!

    well done paul :)
    for the BB you got more money than you payed for the TR, so you have money left, get new experience, see the difference between both cars. and you only can drive 1 car at the same time. this is why I bought the koenig BB and the koenig competition about 10 years ago.
    and you are right: the BB is easier to drive , and makes more fun ( my meaning only? )

    So if a Boxer is like a box of chocolates!!!! what is a Testarossa???? a glass of fine wine.
    Very nice looking car, I am sure you will enjoy it (and have it in pieces very shortly).

    so if a Boxer is like a box of chocolates then a TR is only a cup of coffee, without sugar and without milk
