Quite interested in this car. Never had a Ferrari before so if anyone can tell me the joys & pains of owning one of these I will be forever grateful.

Car looks nice and clean (not seen it in the flesh yet) , however I know nothing about these so if anyone has any history on the car or knows of it please can you shed some light.

Many thanks

Thanks guys.

As I live in Australia I can only import a pre 86 car. Otherwise a 348 would be great!

Any other models before 86 that is worth a look?

Unless one of you guys are planning on moving to Sydney in the next year or so then I can get you to bring me a newer model over. ;-)

Apart from the chassis which was mostly carried over (with modifications to the engine sub frame mounts) as the T didn’t have anything like the 348's almost unitarily constructed chassis smile

As I'm sure we could all agree, on a value for money basis, the 3.2 is the best bang for the buck, that fits the OP's requirements and if he were to get one that was almost at the upper age limit to import to OZ, he'd get one that was almost rust proofed hehe
Thanks guys. I take it these things are rust buckets then?

Not good.

It's pre-89 not pre-86, so 31/12/88 is your cutoff, putting you deep into 3.2 territory.
Thanks Stu. Gives me a few more options then. Pity the 348 wasn't built a year or two earlier!
