Yep - Richard D (I thought I recognised the plate).

Bungle was a nickname he picked up on another forum.

I've just bought a lovely 308 GT4. It's my first Ferrari and it's proving to be a delight to drive. It's an early series 1 car in red (of course) with crema leather interior.

It's completely different to my 427 Cobra, but they make a nice pair in the garage.

Hello Paul, any updates on your one ?

Also anyone know what is involved in converting a U.S. spec ones bumpers etc to Euro spec ? Also what improvements and upgrades were made through the GT4s life ?

The car changed from a Dino to a Ferrari and particularly for emissions the US cars changed around the engine but not much else that I can recall other than a few cosmetic tweaks - for US cars much help and information will be over at Ferrari Chat eg http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328/323142-30...

From memory, the early cars had twin (2x4 plugs) distributors, and the later ones had a single (1x8 plugs) distributor. Also the front grille and foglight arrangement was changed.
