    55209 - '85 GTS, nero metallico with tan interior. I believe it was originally a Swiss car, although i don't have a definite proof.

    84 Euro QV #51317 checking in
    Bought the car with no history. Had 44k on the odo; Now showing 49k. Found out it's still reading Kms. Tires were date coded 1991, so I threw on some cheap 17s and great rubber. Been driving it like that ever since. From what Ive found out, car was brought here in around 1990ish. Sticker on back window of the car implies it was originally sold at the Roma Ferrari Dealership (Sa. Mo. Spa.). Car seems to have been around New Orleans most of its life. Its quickly topping my list of favorite cars I've owned. Only regret is not getting a GTB. Pics are a little poor quality (camera phone), but hell, they're pics.

    Buzz, looks great. Like the wheels. Thanks for checking in. I'll update the list later today. I think we're pushing 30 Euros accounted for in NA after just a few days of researching. Need to add noblesteed and his 84 GTB too.

    I not usually a big fan of black on a 308 but your car looks stunning. I like how you can see the metallic in the paint.

    ESM 002 (about $800 for the set). They're a BBS LM clone. Needed spacers for everything to work, but all in all, pretty happy with the results. Might be able to get BBS to make a set of LMs with the right offset and bolt pattern for the 308 with enough $$$.

    I was hoping you would come up, one of my favorites! I love my red car, but if I went with anything else it would be exactly like yours. Blue with gold wheels looks outstanding!

    I want to know more about VPs car. I like tracking the Metallic Black cars and I am not sure that's one I know about.

    Not sure what details you're looking for. We bought it 3 years ago, according to the service records the car has been in the US since at least the 90s. It has the Saratoga top and screens in air intakes that were specific to the Swiss and German (markets). It's pretty much stock, was modified with the US sidemarkers and MPH speedo. By far the most fun to drive car that I have.

    I'll clean this list up and break it down by year, color, GTS/B when I get a chance. Looks like 31 are accounted for and I haven't cross referenced the QV Registry yet.

    There is a member named "chair pilot" that also has a 83 euro QV. He is currently fighting cancer & is not on the site much. I hope the best for him.

    Please wish him well from his 308 family. Thanks for the info.

    His virtual garage shows a beautiful 83 GTS (44831), Red/Black. Chairpilot, if you read this, God bless and get well soon. Post some pics of your 308 if you feel up to it.

    Here is more info on my 308 (48901). It was imported directly to the US and was modified by an Independent Commercial Importer and delivered to its first owner in May 1985. I bought it in March 2012 with extensive recent records. I then began converting the garage into a nice resting place for it instead of storage for crap. I have done many restoration projects big and small most recently the Compomotives. Love them.
