    Hi all - thought i would introduce myself. I have just joined the list of 348 owners. Based in Brisbane Australia - not sure how many 348s are in my home town…

    No doubt i will be seeking assistance in the future with lots of questions and advice.. so thanks in advance!

    Looks great . I understand a significant number of U.K. cars have been sent to Australia, amongst other RHD markets
    Is there a easy way to differentiate them from the genuine AS stock ? Not that it matters mind just curious?

    Australian cars are in Km/ph not m/ph like UK that's the easiest way to tell. Even then, some people put a KM cover over the MPH speedo to convert it but the Odometer is still in miles. The dealers cheekily sell them as low KM but they are really in miles.

    The 8th digit in the VIN number should identify which market the car was created for...

    A = Left-Hand drive vehicle for the U.S.A. market.
    B = Left-Hand drive vehicle for the European market.
    C = Right-Hand drive for the U.K. market.
    D = Right-Hand drive for the Australian market.
    J = Left-Hand drive vehicle.
    S = Left-Hand drive vehicle.
    T = In almost all cases originally sold in the Middle Eastern market.

    Congrats! Share a photo when you can… How are you finding your ownership experience so far?? I’m still in the phase of stopping to stare at it every time I walk past.. that and wondering every time i take it out whether it is going to make it home (I assume that phase passes but its a “new to me” 30+ year old car so I do worry…!)

    Thanks MM348. Only just got it so not so much driving as we are having a lot of rain unfortunately. Ive had a 328GTB and a Testarossa before so it's a nice combination of both.
