    Guys

    I just wanted to say, I saw this 348 in person and it is as Virgin as they come. The car has zero paint work. When they mounted the power antenna they even put it in between the rear engine grill so no one drilled into the rear quater panels which I personally hate so much that happened to earlier 348's. I am not pitching or trying to help sell this car. I am just trying to help a new member of the brotherhood and say this car is virgin!

    You should ask NNO and mdraeger to be sure, but 82597 may be *the* first 348 TS made (348 TB's, however, started at 81617).

    Mine is 82608 and NNO told me it should have been the 35th 348 made (approximately). Ingenere has 82592 I think.

    There's a few things I noticed:

    The deck lid just above the slats looks distorted. The gap should be the same across the width.

    On the LHS of the drivers seat it looks as though something sharp is pressing inside.

    Is the exhaust hanging just a bit too low?

    How do we really know if it's a virgin or not?

    I'm going to back off on my earlier comments, especially about the deck lid. I had a closer look at my car and it looks similar.
