    I've found another classic I'd like to buy so thinking of selling my rhd UK Vetro to fund it. Thought I'd mention it here on the forum as this is where I found it, and regular viewers to the 308 Vetroresina thread will I'm sure recognise it.

    If you go to my profile there is a small album of pictures to give you an idea of the car, it has to be one of the best in the UK and has recently been granted it's Classiche certification.

    The past 4 years in my ownership has been spent getting it into the condition you see it in now. Just to mention the full head rebuild to replace the original sodium valves and weber carb rebuild so mechanically it runs perfectly. It's also had a full suspension rebuild with all new bushes and a geometry set up which means it handles as good as it left the factory, not a rattle or squeak anywhere. Finally I've had the paintwork and interior brought up to show standard so it looks fabulous.

    I think I'm being very realistic in asking £150,000 for it, which reflects the current Ferrari market, down on what it was last year. If anyone is seriously interested please pm me or email to [email protected] and just to say I won't be placing it with anyone for a commission sale.

    Thanks for looking, Mike

    Updated in the 308 section but just to say in answer to a couple of questions this is chassis number 19333 and the car has done 38,600 miles. Thanks for the kind comments.

    I've been away for a while but just wanted to update and respond to a couple of questions.

    The Vetro has a very comprehensive history file over it's 40 year life including it's original order paperwork through Maranello in Egham in December 1976 and the build confirmation from Modena. Delivered to the UK in May 1976. It also comes complete with it's original owners manual, service book and wallet.

    It has both it's tool roll and jack bag, and it's 308 registration plate will stay with the car.

    Here's a more unusual angled pic of the car from my user name profile album, looking from the rear really shows off the Vetroresina's unique yellow indicator lenses, lights in the rear bumper and the single outlet exhaust.

    Thanks for looking!

    Hi Clark, good to hear from you and no still with me, I think the UK market's pretty quiet at the moment. It looks like the car I was after has got away from me and that was the only reason I was letting it go, so happy to hang onto it as it is a beauty. You wouldn't recognise it now after all the work over the past few years!

    Hope all's well with you and thanks for the bump to the thread!
