    Hi, Bruce - fellow GTC owner here.
    You mentioned wrong oil filters. Which ones do you plan to use?
    I believe the slant-ear knock off hubs are for the Borrani wheels, while the Campagnolo wheels came with straight-ear knock off hubs.

    Hi, Rosso!
    Sorry about the mixup.
    I figured I'd join in because of my GTC experience.
    I bought mine in November, 1975, with around 40,000 miles. First V-12 sold by FAF Motorcars.
    Over 196,000 miles and still an everyday driver.
    I've done paint, upholstery, suspension rebuild, transaxle rebuild and engine major rebuild - nobody has worked on the car except me since I've owned it.

    Any chance you could periodically feel brave enough to post/share driving impression reports, especially “as intended” (i.e. Grand Touring) experiences, along with miles accrued during those occasions ?
    Short distance, suburbia drives, like trips to C & C gatherings or local shows and pictures taken at them, etc aren’t really that interesting (at least to me) nor technically revealing about the car.

    Absolutely I can, I did about 50 miles yesterday. Ive owned approx 15 ferraris and this one is the most comfortable Ive ever driven. The seat position as well as the drivers view(s) from all angles is amazing.

    Ill be sending her in in a few weeks for a major service so I and it will be MIA for a while.

    Chas,well done,to say the least. The red one at driver source was ..a roll of the dice..and that’s sorta intriguing in a way..but man green over tan is a TD. Keep up the good work. Cheers,RE

    very nice car - congrats on the purchase and we have restored 3 of these to-date, if you need anything - be happy to help.

    Bob is correct - those are incorrect spinners - should be the straight eared ones vs the bent ears (used for wire wheels) .

    This is a long way from that 308 out at NJB! One of my favorite models in a KILLER color! Best of luck with her.
