I agree about the you tube videos, he is a real car enthusiast. My late wife and I owned a 308 GTS QV in the mid 90's ( the model after this with fuel injection ) It was fantastic to drive, I will always remember the gearbox and general 'chuckability' the service costs were significant but if I was to own one again I would not worry about maintaining the 'full service history' and do more work myself. Ferrari's of this age do rot and there is pressure to keep them looking immaculate. In my experience there are a lot of Ferrari owners who buy them as status symbols and are the absolute opposite to Morgan owners. We owned it for aprox 4 yrs 30k miles and sold it for the same price as we brought it - cannot complain.
Thank you Gallanach for a lovely positive story of Ferrari ownership especially as your wife enjoyed the car alongside you and made special memories.
My view of ownership has been tainted having known a couple of owners that have had a pretty miserable period of owning them and arrived at the decision they were great to look at but best left in the garage.
They subsequently came into Morgan ownership, one an Aero and the other a Classic Plus 8.
