Article on 308 ownership

Great article Tim! Thank you.....

 

Great article and photos! Perfect color combo.

 

Great looking 308, why did you sell it?

 

Wow. I love your photographs!

There's a pic of a beautiful road in what appears to be the Cali, Nevada, or Arizona desert under your "neglect" portfolio. The road looks perfect to me...is the neglect secondary to none of us being on it with our F cars?

Ciao!

 

Still have my "85 QV, Tim - a long and different story, but essentially the same in its outcome. I also have a Lotus Elan S3 - would love an S2 though! I've spent so much time, sweat, blood, and money on both of them that I don't think I'll ever sell.

 

Absolutely love your pics...

Ciao!

I've got a 1978 carb GTS and a 1966 S2 Elan. I think my collection is now complete. Very different cars, but I think they complement each other. The striking GT and the street fighter. I've spent a bunch on both cars over the years but now I'm starting to bleed money on my 26R project. Have you seen Jay Leno's 26R project? See:

Nicely written and good pics! I would have kept such a beautiful and rare car, remind me of this song:

Great shots. Were you at Pebble this year? Here's a small sample of some of my images….

Got an email this afternoon about a new book on 308-328 thought I would share. Not mine.



I'm pleased to tell you my book will be available in just a couple of weeks. Your photograph does appear in the book, so I hope you approve of it!

The book is listed on both Amazon and Crowood if you are interested:

Ferrari 308, 328 and 348 - The Complete Story by Robert Foskett, 9781847978851

Ferrari 308, 328 & 348: The Complete Story: Amazon.co.uk: Robert Foskett: 9781847978851: Books

Very much appreciate all your help on the project, I do hope you feel the book does justice to these great cars

 

One will be on my shelf.

 

Look forward to getting it and open up a bottle of wine for a couple of hours leisurely reading.

 

I immediately ordered mine on Amazon Japan. They say it should be released in May...

 

I wonder why the 348 is included. I don't consider it of the same family with a different engine etc.

 

Agree, it's a brand new car. But it's not a problem, i will buy the book despite that.

Thank you all for the link

ciao

 

I agree; not only does it not share the transverse disposition of the engine of the 246/308/328, but furthermore, the 348 is really the half-sister of the 355, so it makes no sense at all to have excluded the 355, then? Strange.

I've got enough books that I don't read, I won't buy it unless it really breaks new grounds; like an annex with the list of all 328s produced by chassis number and all their original colors.

Same thoughts - same conclusion - I've just ordered it!
