Help with 1984 400

Kamal

The brakes arent the same as a 6/7 series, I've went through that argument with a very stupid so called sepcialist a couple of years ago (even took a caliper to Europarts and compared them) they are however the same as some boxers / daytonas and early testarossa.
The rear pads are the same as a Lambo Urraco / Jalpa (if you get stuck we've got a couple of boxes in stock)

Hope you didnt buy the POS that was on e-bay last week (106,000miles is a tad far without a top end overhaul!), and if you have try to get your money back quick!!

 

hey Kamal

I'm a partner in a small dealership in Neston We mainly deal in 4x4 but keep 1-2 usuable (cheaper!) Ferraris, its not much but its a start, we've been going now for 18 months and so far have only had 1 complaint (the customers wife didnt like the car )

No the Ferrari 400 on Ebay is being sold by one of the well known crooked (convicted!) dealers who shuld be avoided at all cost (a quick google on Rolls Royce - forged service history and Entwistle will give all the details)

If the front calliper is the same as the rear I may have one for you (fully reconed yet never fitted). PM me if it is

 

I would look at http://www.eurospares.co.uk for used 400 spares.

 

Small world. I grew up in Burton Andrew. Where abouts in Neston is your dealership?

 

Hi Simon,
we've got a couple of units on the Clayhill ind estate(next to the old Marconi site)
Was up in Burton a couple of days ago, still one of the pretiest villages in the UK (and its the annual fete next week!)

No were not on the main road (need to keep a lower profile due to some of the cars value and the lack of a security guard )

as Euro's want £250 for a caliper, if the one we have fits you can have it and a box of brake pads for the back for £200

as for the ebay 400....Look underneath it!!! pretty paint can hide a multitude of problems (and lets face it anybody who's been convicted of fraud several times really shouldnt be trusted!)

 

Andrew, I tried to Google using the criteria you suggested, but it showed nothing!
I think I may have had a run in with this outfit, so any background history would be useful.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but as it seems you've sorted Kamal's problem it's only a little hijack!

I'll E-mail you Our Contact details when I get into the office, sorry but we havent got any new shape range rovers, the 4x4 part of the business is run by one of the other partners and deals in serious off road toys (the sort of thing you wouldnt actually want to run on the road much!)

 

mmmmm - anything by Drew Bowler by any chance?

 

Yep Thats the sort of thing although the good ones do tend to fly out very quickly

 

O/T I know (and apologies) , but I so nearly bought one last year - being sold privately for £6k - what a car!....then I put my sensible head on and started to look at Integrales........
