    Hi to all...well I've actually had the car for a few months.....CA car, s/n 20757, mostly original with around 95K miles showing.

    Slowly working towards getting it safe & Ca legal. Replaced a few fuel lines, etc., also oil pan gasket. I'm in the process of sourcing smog pump & related bits (does have injection tubes). Quite a list of other stuff to make it a really good driver yet.

    Have to say, very grateful for all the great advice I've found so far on F-chat...

    Congratulations on a beautiful, early GTB!

    As far as the mirrors go, althought IMO the Californian mirror looks the best on a GTB, the Baby Tornado mirrors (which look like what is on your car) may be original.

    My early 308 was fitted with one Baby Tornado from delivery. I was going to change to a Californian, but upon inspection, it was drilled for the Tornado and I was not going to drill additional holes to accomodate a new mirror.

    Just may want to keep this in mind if you are picky (like me ; ) about the car's originality.

    It's beautiful! Drive it in good health!

    Anthony

    Interesting point on the mirrors, Anthony, I'll check...do love the Californians tho!

    Looking forward to 'properly' driving it before too long...

    Welcome to the club. I have 21465 (77 GTB)and just made it CA legal. (It took nearly 1 1/2 months of collecting the missing emissions parts). It's a lot of work but worth it in the end. Let me know if you need any hints.
