    Nice, never seen one in that colour before.

    Why a 330? (and don't say "why not?" :p )

    Nice one. Is this a local car or did it come from the UK? Looks like a UK AA decal on the rear window. 5-speed box? We have a MK2 in the same colour in NSW, grey interior. Yours looks quite original. Great cars, surprisingly brisk but the brakes are a bit "vintage".

    Good to see some more V12 style coming into the Forum. Ash, you need to read up on the history books. The real Fcars have 12 cyl in the front :)
    What's the VIN number Goober?

    one owner with books and no not a UK car, i have it til i decide to buy it, engine, g/box and transaxle are all great, a genuine ol jigger. no smoke, no oil leak (the pic shows one but that was from the R5T, it HAD a driveshaft seal leak, all fixed today and i didnt mop up the oil in trepidation of the 330.

    its not everyones cuppa tea, but its different, and it goes like stink, just think how advanced this car was when it was released -- GM had just bought out the EH holden with its 179ci motor and single stromberg, this is a V12 with more webers than BBQ galore, elec windows, a/c, 4 seater, infact it aint that different to a 612 only 500k cheaper

    pretty amazing when you put it like that...and of course, you're right. of course, it's still an OHOS now, though. I wouldn't want an EH either, I must admit.

    Definitely MY cup of tea! If 250GT PF coupes become truly unobtainable, the 330GT 2+2 Mk2 is next on the list. I just love 1960s Ferraris.

    Hi Dingo,

    Pretty tough, actually. The hardest exams I've had so far and other students I've spoken to agree. Should pass, but hard to predict marks. I'll found out soon enough!
