    Don't get me wrong. I'm madly in love with the 355. I'd love to own one. But if I had a 997 TT and a 456, I'm pretty much settled for the comfy bit.

    Bro. Wait till u see all the sensors, pipings etc it has in the Testa. And there are a few electronic control units/relays in the engine compartment which look more valuable than the weight of gold! I dropped the engine & changed as much pipings as we could to silicons then upgraded the fuel lines. Re-coated the valve covers, belts, bearings waterpump seals etc which costed me S$10K in a 3rd party workshop few years ago.

    abs i believe. one of the improvs of 328 over 308 was abs i think- i recall there was abs style wheels and non abs style. i think for a more classic look n drive 308 better esp with the deep front spoiler- for more modern classic ,355 touted as 1 of the most beatiful cars inthe world then-and has kept her looks i feel

    between 996 turbo cab and 993 turbo, i think the later is much more collectible!

    I thought my Testa had ABS??? ABS was only available for late model 328 but I can't remember which year onwards. The convex wheels are "ABS" wheels that fits modern tyres so many 308s had these as the concave ones were restricted to TRXs.

    Ahh, here's some information on 328s

    So, they made 6068 328GTS

    Well. What I meant was the seller of the 328 has a 993 turbo in purple.

    That RS is a real deal. Very sweet handling according to the workshop manager, beats many modern 911s :)

    My friend is selling this car.

    http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C66378/

    If I ever have this sort of cash, this would be it! And get the factory to convert it back to RHD rightfully :D

    I don't know about you, but isn't it beautiful? The speedster humps, V12 manual, AM nose, GTO tail & that diamond cabin! I must try to see it when I see him in a few weeks time!

    good call; only plebs get swine flu :)

    do you really think it's possible to convert a LHD to a RHD? if so, wouldn't someone have done that to an enzo already? i'd be interested in knowing.

    Despite my father's slightly flawed reasoning, I felt it would be prudent not to point out this little oversight :D

    Still, I think the lower passenger density might have helped somewhat.

    Isn't it because the car had to be originally manufactured in RHD? Technically a conversion is an extreme modification that LTA might deem unsuitable I think.

    The car in question that Jon is talking about seems to have been originally made as an RHD car before being converted into an LHD vehicle, so I suppose a reverse conversion is not only possible but should also allow the car to be road registerable in Singapore.
