Hey bikefreak

If this was a 348ts well then in that case i know who it belongs to. Then its also the same car spotted by TBHP members on the Mumbai Pune expressway along with a Porsche.

EDIT : Just noticed that this indeed is a hard top 348 also, the prancing horse decals are missing from the front as well as rear grille......the one i know of is a removable top. So this is not the car i know of.

Cheers!!!

Guys,

Any idea of what a air scoop (or whatever that is) is only one side on the front fender -
under the rhs light.

Cheers!!!

Wrong. It's a 348tb.
For those who don't know, what "tb" and "ts" stand for, the 348 was available in closed berlinetta form (tb) or to a targa topped spider specification (ts).

SPEED_DEMON82 · 6th March 2005, 01:24

^^^ Hey Aditya,

Thanx that helped....cleared my confusion about the tb and ts.

Cheers!!!

Nicce ... i think its Ness Wadia's car. Probably was one of the first ferrari's in bombay, way before bhushan got his.

Rehaan · 6th March 2005, 03:44

Hey Dippy,

Sweet pics. Not very often do you get to see a Ferrari with tinted glass! Believe me, makes a huge difference!

Speed_Demon82, the TS you speak of clearly says "348TS" in silver and red on the back.
And as for the vent only on one side, it might be for an oil cooler. (for eg the evo6 has a vent on just one side that is for the oil cooler)

i guess the front bumper scratches are a result of the low clearance ?
