I got a black set complete; NEVER used. There is a pic here somewhere. NO, Sorry Fellers. Not for sale at any price.
If all you want is usable luggage that fits then this might be of interest: http://www.hillsalive.co.uk/page52.shtml
Bleugh Usable luggage that fits and is attractive would be nice. Rather than black nylon bags that look like they come from Walmart / Tesco
See above, not everyone's cup of tea, but some see the value in it & its useable solution if you use the car a lot for travelling. Did a 2 week trip in my 328 this summer & we managed to find 3 bags that worked - sort of. I very nearly bought that Hillsalive stuff but decided I couldn't justify it for one trip after all the other money I had spent on the car. Even though we were able to get the bags in, nothing ever fits that well so I kind of wished I had spent the money after about a week of unpacking & repacking the thing! Even if I had the Ferrari luggage I wouldn't use it (regardless of the value of it) because it just doesn't look like a good solution in terms of actually packing a sensible amount of stuff in the car. There is a lot of wasted space. For the money it now costs, it seems like an awful lot to spend on something you will only ever look at & never use - but that's just my opinion.
I use a couple of large kayaking dry bags in red from Ortlieb. They don't look out of place, fit the available space well, are probably the lightest possible bag you could have, have no problems with the engine heat, are cheap as chips and are a delight to use. But I'd still rather have a tan leather set if a copy could be had for a few hundred. I am no concourse purist, so they wouldn't need to be exact. Just the right size, quality and vintage feel.

Must investigate those for future use. Of course a decent leather set would be a nice thing to own but only if it was usable and, as you say, at a reasonable price. Even the Hills stuff was too pricey for me to justify given what it is. The Schedoni stuff is of interest to the guys that do the concourse thing I think but, as above I wouldn't bother with them for actual use! No problems with heat in my boot space , one of the things I have done is stick a sheet of Zircoflex underneath it above the exhaust heat shield. It has cut the temperature in there significantly. http://www.zircotec.com/page/heatshield_products/97 On which subject, I can't see that leather luggage lasting long if you did use itgiven how warm the boot space can get !

Do check dims before ordering. My 308 fits two lengthways (as long as Mrs Vaccarella doesn't overfill hers). I bought mine ~10 years ago so their sizings might have changed.
Thanks . Need replacements for the ones we used because the handles are coming away from the bags. (Mrs I. over-stuffing them !)
NB They look a lot more classy without the shoulder straps. I don't know where you are but I got mine from an outdoor shop under the arches at Charing Cross. Places like Blacks Snow & Rock etc might well stock them.
You click on his User Name for a drop down menu, then there's an option for Send Private Message.. But I think he has gone ahead with a deal to the original poster. I know of a couple of other sets, let me get you the user names....Welcome!!!! A shame Schedoni quit offering it, as the remaining 308s fall into new owner's hands....
Good find! I'll have your Euro front bumper off the car soon, Jesper, I'll let you know if you still need it??
I have an original set completely preserved in bubble wrap and never out of the original bags if you are interested for both the 308 and another set for a 355
