Got the car back on the road. Carbs tuned. Fuel lines swapped. Miscellaneous lights fixed. My sparks plugs are dry (see idle popping post) Hitting the road with my mom for her first ride in a Ferrari; any Ferrari. Not sure who is more excited.
We also had a very unexpected GT4 meeting today. Drove some 50 miles together, good fun... These cars are just awesome!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Funny, the owner just posted about them in the Dutch thread on FChat. It's not entirely clear when they found their way onto the car. One of two options: 1: The car is in fact part of a batch of 6 cars that was commissioned by the then Ferrari Importer in the UK. It featured a number of changes from stock, including the sunroof, different upholstery, extra ashtrays in the door sills and likely the tail lights. 2: Also possible that one yahoo owner in the cars past (who painted it red, everything, including the chrome bits) put them on. Given that these are not GTB/GTS lights, my bet is for option 1 (the car is a 1975 unit, so predating the GTB/GTS) Interestingly, the car also features a black instrument panel, rather than the bare aluminium that we have. Normally only seen on the 208, while this is a 308...
