Congratulations smile.

I'd had a really stressful week for various reasons, counting down to collecting the 355. Early starts, late nights, felt like I had a cold coming on. I woke up the day of collection and had to get a ~6am train up north to go and get it, I felt awful. Cold, shivering, flu-y.

Oddly enough om the 5hr drive home I felt great smile.

Thats because it is a graphic equilizer. Proper 80s smile

And wtf would I change what I think is the original gearnob, with a Cavalino badge embossed into simple wood for some after market modern tat?

That's not an original Ferrari gearknob. The original one is a simple black plastic sphere with the shift pattern marked on in white, as per this pic...

I've been looking at a set of these. I take it you have to drill the original pedals and bolt the new set on?

Sorry DJRC, that is not an original gear knob.

Yes its quite ridiculous saying one has bought a car and then just post a picture of the inside complete with its non standard gear knod
Any way i think its a ferrari 308.

Yes, it is definately a 308 GTS.

Whatever floats your boat with the gearknob. Post some more pics too!
