    Why you wouldn’t put the originals on for the photographs I don’t know. Those aftermarket wheels are bloody awful.
    It looks like a 4WD it’s riding so high.

    And, needs shields of course.

    No, it has them. I wouldn't bother putting new TRX's on either. What I find odd is the exhaust cover

    For some reason unknown to me the late 1985 Australian Spec and delivered 308 GTSQV's were fitted with the USA Market exhaust "diaper" but no CATS?

    Unleaded fuel didn't become mandatory for new cars in Australia until July 1985 and probably all the QV's had been imported by then ?

    Not true, my car is a very late 85 car and didn’t have that stupid exhaust cover. Unleaded cars started around June 86 with the 328. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    One of the the weirdest adverts I've seen.
    I'm sure you clocked the early Mini behind it .....

    Mr Horse,

    apart from the car being discussed here,

    There are at least 3 Australian delivered 1985 308 QV GTS models that I have sighted that have the USA Market exhaust diaper, the most recent one being the gold coloured car that the Classic Throttle Shop dealer in Sydney had for sale recently?

    The diaper was also fitted to Australian delivered 2v 308 injected cars along with the USA market rear bumpers I understand and they were pre unleaded gasoline?

    One thing I have learned with Ferrari of that era is that you never say never!

    Grim
