    Hi

    I have finally managed to buy a 1987 GTS Turbo - seen here leaving Naples (Italy) on the way back to the UK.

    Will post more pictures in a couple of weeks when the car is registered in the UK!

    Advice needed: the car is fitted with beige carpets. Any thoughts on changing them to the Ruby Red.

    Thanks

    Very nice looking. I changed the carpets in my '86 328 GTS from ugly tan/brown to a Wilton wool red, to match the rosso corsa exterior. Looks nice! I ordered the kit from World in Los Angeles, then had a professional upholsterer install it; glad I did, came out nice. I also had the carpet trimmed in matching red vinyl.

    The first photo is of my revised 328 (with new seats that go all the way to the rear bulkhead); the second is of a stock RHD 328 with red carpet, presumably in the UK. I used this photo to help make up my mind. I do advise fitting rubber or plastic floor mats to protect the carpet, though.

    Cheers,
    Rich

    well.....i finally picked up the car today and drove it 300km back home. First of all i have to thank Alberto for writing up this vehicle so well and convincingly.
    All i can say is AMAZING! This is truly a fantastic car to drive - when the turbos activate at 3500rpm it just rockets off.
    It brings back fond memories of my Maserati 3200GT that had twin turbos and was a raw sportscar....i only sold it because the maintenance bills were simply too high.
    Car is being professionally valeted and i will post pictures in the coming days.

    I'm happy you liked the car, I just wrote the truth about that model, a very exciting and excellent car.

    And the "328" GTB turbo is even better, a super sharp, very rare and super exciting vintage supercar.

    Ciao
