There are a lot of dealers who do that sort of thing, they normally end up in court or prison after a couple of years.

Keep looking and you'll find what you want

 

You might peruse some of the tons of photos on this thread to get an idea on what a mint GT4 looks like. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1187

I am not selling mine, but won't take anything less than 30K (US) for mine.

Hi
I picked up my v.original '74 GT4 18 months ago in a pretty tatty state. A lot of work (thanks Rardley Motors!) has seen it back to good nick and it has just completed a hard 2000 mile run round France with a bunch of Caterhams... It has been well worth the wait and expense so hang in there for a good one! If you want the raw older feel and noise then hang in there for a GT4 over a Mondial.

Main reason for posting however was to alert you to the "One you can buy" feature in this months Classic and Sportscar mag - they have a brief write up on a red '74 GT4 for sale at www.dovehousecars.com. The website quotes the wrong year and doesn't have much info - the the car's steering wheel is a non standard and too modern Momo. But, might be worth a look!

 

Oct. Classic and Sportscar - arrived today.... page 196

I see www.runnymedemotorcompany.com are advertising a "complete refurbishment" '76 GT4 for £22,950 (!) - worth a look?

I guess you can change the interior but I'm not sure of the ease or cost implication... A lot seem to have undergone respray colour changes to red. Mine was originally white, but resprayed by the prev. owner in the 90's. If it's a quality job I would see that that as less of an issue than an interior I found difficult to live with.

 

More than anything I think you need some form of "expert" opinion on a car like this (assuming you aren't confident by yourself - I wasn't). You need a clear idea how well the crash damage has been repaired...

I bought my tatty one with some help from an experienced spannerman, it ended up needing a lot more doing than at first view but made sense at £11k. Interestingly it had been on a forecourt, rather misrepresented, at £17k weeks before! Fortunately it was very original (bar the respray), just neglected and with 29 year old suspension bushes and shocks rather limiting its handling potential. And a lot of other things that all added up!

 

looks very sus mate
