    Hey, don't say sorry, consider yourself lucky!

    246 and 308's are the best if you like that tactile nimble feeling with carbs. If you like a dozen up the front, the 250, 275 and 330 series are great, the Daytona is just plain heavy and steers like a pig without any dynamic sophistication. If you want the best V12 classic supercar for the street, a Miura or a 275 GTB/4 is the only choice!

    Regards,

    Carl.

    Oh, and lets not forget the BB, probably the compromise in terms of a rear engined 12 cylinder.

    Regards,

    GTC/4 had power steering...also the carbs are on the wrong side of the heads. Pretty though.

    I remember that Barina, and if I remember rightly it's faster than all the F-cars ;)

    I'm with JM (hmmm... two JMs... "J-Mo"?) on the GTC/4 though, I love them too :D

    Golly, what a collection of cars!

    That 250GTE looks magnificent. The Queen Mary with Borranis is just fantastic, and is that 330GT 2+2 s/n 5991? Looks much better there than it did in the ads.

    I wondered where the 330 with the 'funny' nose had gone. I knew the perv owner quite well before he passed away. Had a heart attack at the wheel of one of his Bentley Turbo Rs a few hours after he had signed over the majority of his business to his brother and was planning to retire and enjoy his car collection...

    It's essentially a 330GTC nose grafted on to the 2+2, isn't it?


    BTW, it's always sad to hear of someone passing away soon after retirement, when by rights they should be enjoying the fruits of their labour. :(

    Maurice (departed 330 owner) was a nice guy, if a little eclectic in his car and music tastes. He liked Studebakers and Country/Western music... Big supporter of the classic car scene in WA for many years and had about 40-50 cars inc. 3.0l Bentley, Silver Ghost, various Turbo Rs and an Azure convertible, a Continential T, Delorean etc etc. 330 was his first F car.

    Hmmm, Andrew, I think the last two words of the sentence above were a tautology ;) I mean, he did own a Ferrari right, so he must have been a perv?

    Oh, and another thing about that 330, the current owner used to have a 250 SWB and a 250 GT/L. Odd, after those two, you'd buy that 330, when at the time, there were nicer ones around.

    Regards,

    Carl.

    Had dinner tonight with Trev Basset and Pip ( It was Pip's 50th, can you F***** believe it!!) and Phil and Chris Moore. Said there was 11 Daytona's there! Also said someone claimed to have seen 170!! FAST OHOS!! Sounds like it was a great weekend. Actually it sounded like Rally's of old (sigh)
