    Does anyone know of a source for these? They seem unobtainable - has someone started to remanufacture?

    Eurospares indicated to me that they had some a while back, but I'm not sure if they are new or used parts.

    Yes, I've used them several times, shipping is prompt, I find the prices even with the exchange rate reasonable. I have no problems recommending them, otherwise I wouldn't have supplied the link ;-)

    John, What is wrong with your rear lights, or are they missing?

    These parts used to be easily available when people were still breaking 308 GT4s. I expect now that they're no longer being parted out, items like these will be harder to get hold of?

    I damaged one last year during track use but did manage to get a replacement (second hand) from Eurospares. That was Oct 08. They have none now and couldn't track any down in England. The reason for the question is because I race this car in the Ferrari Club Uk classic race series, damage is possible again. As such I just wanted to stock one for each side just in case.

    Very grateful for the link - to Dino parts. de good to hear they are reliable.

    As you say, these cars are rising in value and esteem (one of the best handling Ferraris ever) and people are no longer breaking them and as the lights are common only to this model there is zero second hand supply. The dino parts .de ones look like new old stock ? or maybe someone has started remanufacturing.

    Incidentally, there is a GT4 in the Netherlands that came from the factory with round rear lights, together with some other differences to the normal configuration. I saw the car 20 years ago, sorry, no pics.

    Johnny are you after the surrounds or the individual brake/indicator lenses?

    Its the surrounds I'm after. The indicator and light/brake lenses are all available as they match other cars ie 246,365 etc. They just slot into the surround. The surround also includes the 3rd lense which is actually a reflector.

    Will keep an eye on eybay.

    P.M. Moretti in the Australian section, he had a heap of GT4 parts, I don't know if he still has them but he may have what you looking for. Worth a call.
