Thanks Zac I don't think we'll be too worried about the finish. It's not really a concours car! Thanks for the tip about the lock mechanism too. We'll go shopping for some doorhandles now. Australian prices are rather silly on them, so I guess we'll try a US or UK source. Cheers Andrew Stevens & Kel...

G'day from downunder everyone! Carrying on the ongoing improvements on the 365GT here and we wanted to confirm if the external doorhandles on the car are really interchangeable with those on kamm-tailled 105 series Alfa Spiders? I did a search on the archives, but couldn't find it discussed. We want...

We recently had the rear dampers replaced with some Koni 'coilovers' which I don't have the exact specs on, but will try and dig up sometime. They have the advantage of being adjustable for bump and rebound relatively easily. In conjunction with new springs all round and overhauled rear suspension w...

We've been enjoying Tom's travels and it was great that Giancarlo (365GT #12009) got to star on tomyang.net! Tom's been very nice about our humble little town on the western edge of the continent and we hope that they enjoy the rest of their travels! You can check other WA Ferrari activities on www....

Hello from downunder. We've just had a pleasant dinner and entertaining evening with Tom, Debbie and Ellie and gave Tom a ride in Giancarlo (365 GT #12009) and the Lotus Elise along with fellow West Aussies Hugh and Eileen Cromie (330GT Barn find - don't tell Tom S!). Hope you are all enjoying the t...

Welcome to Australia Tom - I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay downunder! We don't have as many great cars as you guys get to see in the US, but there are a few around if you know where to look! You've done well to dig out those GTCs already. Try and catch up with Miles Sandy at Cavallino Motorsport - D...

Kelly and I just received a large envelope from the guy in the UK for her 365GT 2+2 containing lots of correspondence back and forth between the first owner (a gruff sounding Yorkshireman) and Maranello Concessionaires. Fascinating reading, he must have been a hell of a customer to deal with! Cost u...

How about a sub-category of female Ferrari owners? Kelly bought the 365GT from her then boss a few years ago aged about 30! We had always wanted a V12 and assumed we would have to 'trade up' through the lesser V8 cars at some stage, but the opportunity came up just at the time when there was a littl...

Thanks for chasing this up for us Mark. Our suspension guy has noted that the front springs that came out of the car were 'super soft', so I guess 35+ years of 'springing' have taken their toll... He also mentioned that any replacement front springs need to be very precise with regards to outside di...

Hello from downunder. Our 365 is currently going through a spring & damper change in time for the National Rally here in Perth, Australia in a couple of weeks time. Our local suspension guru has found an alternative to the self-levelling rear dampers, but the main question now lies in what specs the...

Hi Kelly and Andrew, All you need to do is show up at the aformentioned place and time on Thursday the 18th. I'll be there, but sadly without my 330 2+2. I can fly for less than the cost of driving. That's wonderful. We shall be there! It will be fabulous to meet up with so many other 2+2 owners, a...
