I'm not particularly into Ferraris so I don't know all the numbers but IMO the yellow one is better looking than the red one.
Yellow is a 246 Dino, red a 308. And you are right about the better looking one wink

Glad you agree, and I know that the Dino was a sub brand in it's own right but owners seem to want to call them Ferraris so I guess that's their prerogative. p.s. Isn't the boxer an engine not a specific car?

p.s. There's me getting interested now wink

p.p.s. Once saw a great advert in the Exchange & Mart (it was that long ago) it read: Not a Ferrari boxer but a box 'a Ferrari bits! Buyer collects. biggrin

i am also a huge fan of the ford comete (and simca), very handsome!
I too am very biased, my dad owned one of only two of these believed to be in the uk for many years, sadly he never got to see it finished, (don;t know if it ever has been) but it was a beautiful car, and extremely rare, so much so that when he died i decided to sell it as i couldn;t afford to restore it to how i would have liked it, got near sod all for it due to the rarity, but i kinda regret selling it, but even had i kept it and ploughed 50k into it, first up it would never be worth that, and secondly, i would have been too scared to ever use it......... lovely cars though!!!

ps, the second car pictured has non original rear bumperettes.........

It may lack the breeding, but such stunning lines.

Opinion is such a funny thing. That looks really ungainly & compromised to me.

Surely on a car that age it would be suede not a man made substitute such as alcantara wouldn't it?

Except this is not the interior of a 400GT. It is Bob Wallace's special Jarama
