    I think these are seriously under rated here. In the UK, they sell for double a testarossa, here they struggle to make more than about $80K. A well set up Ghibli is a delight. Not many good ones around though, they've never really been worth restoring.

    Here is a late 4.9 SS with air conditioning and power steering.

    There is one for sale on Terry H website, been there for yonks

    There was a funny letter to the editor of ?Octane magazine recently where the author disputed an article that stated it was a great car and he went on to describe what a heap of **** it was. They look good standing still

    Nope, mine has been sold again to a guy in Belrose Sydney. Currently in the same workshop my C4 is in. The guy I sold it to must have not looked after it well, was shocked to see how poor the paint looked. Glad I sold the ****er, way overpriced for what you get even at Goober type money

    Nah, BJ needs a 456 - a gentlemans car - classy, elegant, fast, pulls the slappers.

    He should buy mine - then I get the Daytona...

    Well how interesting. Same car as the one I posted, except sadly, its now red.

    Can someone have a look at the 275 GTB/4 listed on the website, I am sure the underside shot of the car shows a non torque tube 275. Anyone care to comment???

    Looks like a open shaft car. Were all the 4 cams torque tube?. I've always been surprised that Ferrari made such a hash of a open driveshaft transaxle in a road car - Lancia got it right with the Aurelia and Flaminia which are notoriously trouble free..

    Me too Rob, the 456 is a nice piece of kit, but my specs for a toy car are: 100% engine, Webers, Borannis - sadly, not much in my price range.. Shoulda bought the one owner 330 for 15K 30 years ago.

    I look forward to that, RB. Glorious sound bouncing off anything and everything and a sight to be behold, as well.

    The Dino bubble is such a price abberation. I really don't understand what underlays it.
    Have any sold lately for that kind of money?
