Ed - I am with you on the 928, though I could not afford to restore one and probably couldn't afford a decent one. With the proper colors/care I think they are very nice. The ones that have been poorly cared for are real dogs. BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD 290k miles, and still looking to buy that 300 SEL ....

Hi Alex, I've never owned one, but they are one of my fav Ferraris. I think a lot of the bad rep had to due with poor service, like so many cars like it. They don't cost a tonne of money used, but when faced with a tune-up bill that equals the cost of the car, most put stuff off, then they start to blame the car when it fails. I think the 400 is big classy GT. I've love to go on a motor trip in one. I'd also love a mid '80s Porsche 928. I'm lucky in that the cars I like most, don't have much of a market, so they are affordable to me. Well, almost affordable. I think the "right" 400 is still a little our of reach. :-) Ed 300E On 20/05/07, Alex Chamberlain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 5/19/07, E M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My taste isn't the best at times either.
