Blue 348s - do they exist?

[tonyhopkins]

Working for me too.

[burriana500]

aaah the Mungo Meister! How you doing Sir, long time no speak

I'm sure they do look good in blue - it's finding one in the right blue that's the problem and I don't think they ever did a 348 Spider in that colour.

Yep, got the link to work now thanks.

After giving the Griff a base coat of red polish last night and having a couple of the local kids lusting over it and sitting in it and generally being quite impressed... maybe it wouldn't be so bad having a red one... and it certainly opens my choice up a lot more

and probably resale too.

I still want a black one

GOT IT!!!

my memory is of something between Azzurro California and Blu Tour de France (chiarro that people have mentioned)

I guess it may be Azzurro, and it looks slightly darker on the car OR the Chiarro but non-metallic.

Either way - i still don't think I'll find one with crema leather

if you do see the one at arun- then let me know the reg - I have a full inspection report on a 1993 348 tb in dark blue (tan interior) that I ahd done for a potential purchase a couple of years back - it may be the same car.. Also Arun had a LHD blue 348 stolen about 2 years ago (think it was a 1990 car) that I was going to look at until it dissapeared. (So when checking out any blue 348 (tb) potential purchase make sure you get a full HPI on it - it could be stolen recovered - unlikely I suppose - but there are only a limited number in the UK so best to be safe...)

It is a G reg 90' apparently. Coincidence?

maybe - maybe not. THe Guys at Arun seemed pretty stright up on the phone and very helpful - they were gunuinely gutted that the car was taken (Along with a couple of others).

Is it a LHD car? The one I was looking at was LHD. (And of course my memory isn't amazing so I might have the date / reg incorrect and I'd hate to be throwing aspersions onto a car that didn't deserve them) - however when buying any performance car (or any car really!) a thorough background check should be made. In this case there are very few (As you are seeing) blue 348's around so tread carefully.

I know it's not blue, but there's a great looking blk 348 spider for sale at DK Engineering;

BTW, the Chiaro one that was for sale @ Meridien is still listed for sale by them in S Times.

thats the puppy I was on about at the weekend. Its stunning isnt it

[MOD500]

Wow, thats an awesome car.

That car might just suit Burriana's Tom Selleck-esque Rayban Aviator shades that he was sporting over the weekend

Night all

MOD.

last year it was gemini - this year it was Al. Always some quality large shades at Pistonfest.

[burriana500]

It is indeed the very one me & Shnozz have been eyeing up over the last two or three weeks.

In fact, the owner got in touch with me last night, (ta Phil) and sounds a decent guy and willing to answer any ownership queries even if I don't want a black one.

I just don't know whether black is a bit too subtle?


Oiy... if aviator-esque works for Mr Beckham I'm sure I can get away with it - granted others may have some doubts ...

[MOD500]

Don't think the black 348 is too subtle Al....stick a Tubi on board and get rid of the cats and you've got a one way ticket to heaven. There are sound bites on the Scuderia Systems website (www.scuderiasystems.com) of the 348 with the Tubi.

Wooooooo, suits you Al:

[burriana500]

oooh, is he outside a GAYBAR GAYBAR!

Denim shirts and moustaches... fortunately that was one look that passed me by.

Nowt to do with the sound - I'm thinking of the looks and whether I would get the same rush everytime I walked into the garage and saw a black Ferrari there as opposed to a red one

i am really tempted to get my Griff prepped for sale like... now!

Though think it might be tempting fate to go on EuroHoon with an untested car

If i buy another Ferrari, it DEFO WON'T be "resale " red. The blk cars look v cool , as do TDF blue cars , my personal fav.
As for a Tubi, it's a must . The best sounding Ferrari this side of a Stradale is a 348 TB with de-cat Tubi owned by a UK Fchatter.

Ah, but that may be because you've had a red one Tony.

Al,
true, and you can't go wrong with Rosso..... but wish i'd gone for TDF/Tan.
