Euro QVs in North America?

And still only two 85 GTBs. It's a rare bird, but I have to believe there are a few more out there.

 

The deep spoiler was still an option in Europe, but a higher percentage of cars in Europe had them compared to North American spec cars.

The km/h and metric gauges were standard for continental Europe, UK spec cars had mph speedometers. I have a LHD UK spec car, so as shmark says, no such thing as "normal"! My speedo is mph, but I'd actually prefer the metric km/h speedometer. Maybe if you buy that car we can trade!

Nice car veet. Thanks for sharing.

 

Hi everyone,

I am new to the board and the new owner of '85 Euro 308GTS #56411 in rosso with a nero interior. I'll post pics as soon as I take delivery.

 

This is #44157. I used to own it. Sold it to a FChatter in NYC.

 

Hi all!
requesting a favor from an 85 Euro owner............
need a close up pic of the red "air plennum" passenger side. Is there a bracket that secures the 4 injector lines feeding the forward bank of cylinders that fastens to directly into it? I cant find any detailed illustrations. I only have the USA parts book. ((btw is there a Euro version avail?))
I developed a massive vacuum leak from an open bolt hole at that location. put a correct sized replacement in and temporarily solved the problem.
thank you

 

If you can wait till this evening I can take a pic when I get home.

I'm 54845, that's the last 5 numerals of the VIN.

 

Looks like Schulz308 has decided to sell his Euro QV: Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole | eBay

Looks like a really nice car.

 

That will be interesting to watch. That car was just a little ahead of mine on the assembly line, and it looks like a nice one. Is it just missing the under-bumper lights, or was that an option in some markets?

 

Thanks for the info. I've added you to the registry (attached). Congrats on your Euro QV!

Happy New Year!

I wonder if the relation between imported Euro GTBs/GTSs are the same as produced, roughly 1/4...

 

I owned 54609 for 3 years (sold in 2005). Metallic Black with tan interior. Often wonder what ever happened to her. Anyone know? Such a fun car! I regret selling her!

 

Nice Black/Tan 84 Euro QV GTS just showed up on ebay. Didn't have it listed. Looks like a nice car.

What a beauty. And that price! We are definitely moving on up...

 

Gorgeous example, my favorite color for a GTS - looks like a B with the top on, (not a fan of the steering wheel though).

 

Oh My Gosh is that place a candy store!! All manner of classic Germaney goodness! I bet they have some stories to swap with each other when the owners leave for the night

Beautiful car, love that color combination. I'm still waiting to see more GTBs, got to be a few more out there I would think.

 

Wondering about this one sold at M Brandon Motorcars recently. Maybe he'll shed some light and specifics on the car.

Sold ? M. Brandon Motorcars

 

Hers my old 85QV
trying to dig some info up on it. I sold it to a guy in NY about 9 years ago.
