Since there is both an inside plug owner's manual (Chinetti) and a GTE owner's manual (Italian), this would work for just about any 250 model.

It will be interesting to see how high it goes. I would think that it'll go for over $3K.

Well, bad guess on my part. The bidding is at 4K already.

Did anyone pickup on the fact that the GTE manual is in French not Italian?
"Uso e manutenzione" is the Italian version of the handbook.

My car came thru Francorchamps, so I need a French manual. Don't see too many of those.

Hmm....

Actually you could get away with a Dutch or German manual as well (if they even made one). Dutch is slightly more spoken of all the languages in Belgium.

I remember reading somewhere that Swaters gave French manuals for the early cars as they were only done in Italian, French and English. Perhaps the guru Mr. Shaughnessy will chime in and clarify!

Mine was sold new by the Belgian dealer and it has a French manual.

Close to 16K. Where does the insanity stop? I'd have to put all this in a safe deposit and never touch it.

Final price was $15,800 by nunzio828, well known to eBay people interested in Ferrari literature.

The Ferrari literature business has gotten ridiculous!

I've got both manuals, but not an original pouch. Maybe I should sell them and buy a 400i that needs some TLC.

Look for a 365 or a carburated 400. They're easier to tune than the CIS injection.
