    Once we get moved back out to California I am thinking about looking for a TR. Preferably a later model but before the switch the the 512. My 348 is black so probably going to go for red or white on a Testarossa.
    I have been doing the majority of the work on my 348. Is the Testarossa a harder car to work on?

    Yes. It requires patience and technical skill. The biggest thing is taking your time and checking and verifying your work. Once together and running, the car is pretty much reliable. Imho.

    Imho there is no difference betwen a 348 and a TR to work on. it takes a little more time to work on a TR
    but this what turbopanzer says: It requires patience and technical skill I must agree 100 %, but this on both cars

    As I understand it, the 348 is an engine out service as well(?)... if so, I'd think the efforts would be more or less the same.

    Hi, DO IT! If you fit in a 348, you will like the room inside the TR and like the larger engine.

    Well discussed it with my very soon to be wife and she doesn't care what I do. Lol. That's what is good about her. When it comes to cars she takes a very hands off approach.
    So when we get back to California I will start looking.
