Just Moved to Italy - Looking for Beater Ferrari..

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I don't think I will ever own a Ferrari, but it would be nice. Just like I prefer muscle cars over 2 seater sports cars of the 1960's - so I would lean towards a 4 seater Ferarri too. A later build Mondial convertible would be nice.

That said, you could own one in the US fairly easily. I would be very tempted to find cars which are not available here- especially if they are old enough to legally come back. The Audi/ Group B fan in me would have to at least test drive one of these:

Lancia Delta Intergrale! </div></div>

Yep. Those are definitely on my radar screen. Produced from 1987-1993, so all would be 25 years old (and eligible to import) when I left here in 2018. The 8v and 16v versions can be found for around $10k in driver condition, the EVO 1's bring a few thousand more. The EVO 2's I have seen start out at around $20k. Would certainly be a fun car to tool around Italy in, but at the end of the day, I'm looking for something a bit older and with a bit more character. If I somehow end up with a place with no garage (e.g., we unexpectedly end up on post), have to leave something out in the weather, this makes more sense.

Thanks,

Scott
