    the tan and black interior is cool, I've never seen that. And the fact that it's kind of a ghost car is also awesome. Nice find!

    Rocco,

    It would seem that the first owner changed the seats, as the original spec of the car is shown below.

    Built 1993
    Rosso Corsa
    Beige Trim
    Nero Carpets

    Regards,
    Phil.

    I know its built in 1993 but I wonder if it would be considered a 94 0r 93 in Europe!

    As its a TB, it would be a 93 model, otherwise it would be a GTB!!

    Not sure whether I like those CS style wheels or not ... but they certainly make the car look a lot younger.

    Love those wheels on your 348.

    If it's a Euro and it's a '93 or '94 MY it's a GTB. You can check the whole vin on http://www.club348.com/technical/Tech/348.html#VINs and see. There should be a letter for country or origin. If it's a 1993 build year and it's not a SS's it's a GTB.

    Should have the 119H motor with taller intake plenium. Post pics of the engine.

    Hi Rocco,

    Yes, your number indicates that your 348 is a GTB according to Keiths book. Ferrari`s computer shows that it is a TB built in 1993 for the Swiss market, I know which one I would trust!!

    Also your car seems to be missing the surround for the front grille in the bumper that all GTB`s, GTS`s and Spiders had fitted, but it may have lost that along the way?

    As Dr. T348 has said the engine will be a type 119H if it`s a GTB, I will have your Vin number checked again on Monday, just to make certain the information is correct.

    Regards,
    Phil.

    I hope you know that I was joking!! LOL

    The wheels were the 1st thing on my list I had to buy after getting the car, fills the wheel wells and takes 10 years off the car..

    Do you have any pics of them on your Spider?
