    Alex, find a good 1993 or 1994 Euro 348 GTS, not a common TS. You will be happy. I wish I had a Nero 512TR!

    Now that is very nice, I am not a huge fan of the TR but in that colour combo I could be converted ;)

    I believe the euro 348 GTS has power steering... :-(
    But maybe that can be changed to non-assisted.

    Also, I rather prefer the black lower body parts, rather than all body color (unless I find a black GTS, then it wouldn't matter).

    None of the 348's (TS/TB/GTS/GTB/Spider/SS or Challenge, Euro or otherwise), got power steering.

    The lower panels can always be painted black if that's what you prefer (It would be a bit of a reverse modification painting a 348's lower panels black when they should be body coloured! - Usually it's cars that should have black lower panels that get painted body coloured! )

    Personnaly the 348 looks like the testarossa but smaller. Therefor I would choose a 355

    Parts are cheaper on a 355 too.

    Are you living close to MC?

    MC = Magny Cours?

    No, I'm between Avignon and Nîmes, near Uzès.

    Alex, the 348 GTB/GTS have a refined intake, better pistons, different valves, etc. They are the best refinement of the 348 series; just like the 512TR refinements. If I could get one here in the US, I'd be all over it.

    Sure... but there were only about 130 348 GTS built... so I'd have to be patient!

    I'd settle for a lovely 1992 (updated) 348 TS, and do without the extra 20 BHP of the GTS.

    Not urgent yet ; I would like it for next spring/summer.
