Weird 348 tb at John Scotti (pics)

What's the deal? Did someone just remove the side louvers, or was this an actual option? I'm no expert on the 348...I think I like it better ala the 355.

 

All they did was replace the slatted door intakes with the ones from a 355, and added 355 rims.

 

The slats are removed in the 348 Speciale...a limited edition of 100 in the last year of the 348 production run.

 

The 348 Speciale does have the slats on the door panels (see pics) - the rear grill was different though. The Veilside 348 Evolution has no slats on the door panel.

Is that the same 328 that has something like only a 149mi on it? Asking around $150K Cdn? If so, that car has been there for years. Only a museum piece now...

 

Yep, it's the same one....Scotti's got another in red with under 1K on the odometer....and a Lotus Esprit twin Turbo with under 1K....unfortunately he seems to be very expensive!!!

 

I don't have the pictures, but my frienf converted his 348 completely into a 355. The body panels are straight fits according to him.

 

Ahh memories....I remember when I used to work a street away from Scotti's and once in a while venture (during my lunch hour) downstairs into the basement with Paolo Scotti's blessing. The garage was also a lot of fun. I remember seeing a smashed up F-40 that took roughly a year to fix. Like Ali Baba's cave, it was quite impressive. But I would be weary of that low mileage 328, as well as a few other cars there with questionable histories. Behind those urban legends, lurks a hint of truth.

 

anyone more pictures with better lighting. ?

Is that the 328 with 1000 miles or 50?
