How many 400GT in existence?

Yep Alastair,Tassie's roads(the place-not the bloke,mind you with his collection he's probably paid enough rego to have paid for most of the roads there)are to those who have driven them,as Goodwood Revival is to the rest of the classic motoring world,(having been fortunate enuff to have done both,in anger as far as Tassy is concerned).

Mind you the weather can also be inclement at times,I know I've slip-slided my way around a few times.

Wayne,I've PM'd you God's email re updating the register(I'm sure you have it anyway)

 

Wow! Wayne, that blu really is scuro! Looks nero, particularly in the first photo. I assume that the colour you report is on the paint plaque? Very glad to see it as it is the first time I've ever seen or heard about another blu scuro Ferrari reported. I acquired an F355 berlinetta last August in 'blu scuro micalizzato' - a perfectly luscious colour.

 

You mean this? Sorry about the focus.

Alastair,
An offer too good to miss, almost.
The 400iGT came from up your side of the border too. Black. Still picking thistles out of it.
Won't be long before all the good cars from Pommieland will be vacuumed to the land of convicts (otherwise known as God's Own Country) where they will live happily ever after.

 

You'd be surprised at the motoring content of our country.....you'd be even MORE surprised/shocked at the stuff that's been let go over the past 15 years.

A small amount of re-dress has been going on in the past 2-3 years,with the strong Aussie $,but nothing like the preceeding losses.

 

Amen to that Simon. Some magnificent machines have fled our shores, being partially made up for with quantity of nice stuff, we are still on the debit side by a long way though.
Now, where are the other RHD 400 GT's?

 

#22569 : is the blu scuro its original color ? Surely repainted because the glasurit code has appeared on the 83' 400i. Before PPG and Duco were paints used.

Where are the others ? Well...
-dismantled for parts,
-accidented and broken,
-dismantled for replicas : daytonas, 250 TR, 330 P4, Mille Miglia Sbarro...
-hidden in barns,
-hidden in collection, like the Ivory RHD 365 GT4 2+2 we talked about in a previous thread, that would be the better, but I'm not optimistic for every model.

We could use the Mathias Urban book to help, I ve looked in yesterday evening, but there often are mistakes with automatic and manual transmissions.

Will check one more time and think about the subject. Quite Interesting.

I ve learnt yesterday that a french delivered LHD 400GT wasn't broken as I ve could thought, but nicely hidden in a collection, in southwest of France.
Hope it will give you optimism !

 

Paul,
I don't know, Ferrari site says Blu Gainsburgh but no signs on the car. I will check the handbooks when I am next there to see if there is any entry. Anyway, I am happy with the colour and it is in good condition so it will stay that way.

 

22569 was originally Celeste Gainsborough with blue interior.

odd photo to choose to advertise a car, though it is very cheap if in good nick!! at £12750

 

actually just noticed its not been on the road for 3 years so difficult to say what's required?

 

I ve contacted the seller too.
It is given as a 1979 400. So could be a injection car.
But a few Carbs Car should have been produced in 1979..

 

I have this one but without any more information...
Don't know where the pictures are from.
It s in my database, without VIN, that's all !

I have Uncle Ray(God) on to it at the moment.
He confirmed my quoted chassis numbers but not type of tranny.



........0h,P.S......we have a cloud in the sky ATM.

 

Ray has returned a verdict that they're all manual cars.

Good to hear,make sure you whack on plenty of 30+ sunscreen....

Greg was probably there to get some ideas for the courses he builds in the 'States.
We don't see him over here any more.

 

Alastair, please call at the number ! I can't, cause I don't speak fluently enough !
