I think this one featured in Auto, Motor und Sport in the mid eighties in a comparison test with an Audi Cabriolet (might be a Treser conversion). I have the article somewhere, but as you have visitied my place often you know what that means ;-)

ooh boy, let me guess, no idea in witch closet it is i guess?
so it would be pointless of me to ask if you can find it if i still want to know this year :lol:
I haven't found her yet, but I've found her sister:
308 GTSI s/n 36199

I've found another one:
308 GTBi s/n 35197, but no pic.

that one looks sweet, great colour, got more? :D

but is this costum or from the factory?
Yes, one more, but no s/n.
These weren't factory issued, they were aftermarket conversions, the better ones (and most of them) were done by (I think) Straman There are a few chopped TRs and 400s floating around also. I think another company called Lorenz(Switzerland) made a few also.
Rumour goes that Scagietti planned of doing a batch of 25-50 or so of 328 spyders. They've made one, but Enzo said NO and the project was cancelled, the one made remained at Scaglietti.

I believe that there are also a few Boxer Spider conversions. I have seen pictures of 1 or 2 inthe US.

I'm waiting for Dirk and DJ to dig those up. I think that will look awful :ugh:

On another note. Do you think these conversions de-value the car or raise the value?
In my humble opinion, the Boxer and TR "spiders" do look awful and devalue the car.

The only conversions which seem to have consistent value are the early Daytona Spider conversions.

All I can add is,
365 GT4/BB s/n 18145: spyder conversion by Autokraft
365 GT4/BB s/n 18177: targa conversion
512 BB s/n 21901: targa conversion
512 BB s/n 24979: targa conversion
512 BB s/n 31643: spyder conversion
512 BBi s/n 39417: spyder conversion
512 BBi s/n 41189: spyder conversion
512 BBi s/n 47685: targa conversion
IMO opinion this would devaluate the car's value to the purists who like original cars, but one who's looking for something special I think wouldn't.

For the 208 GT 4 spyder:
yesterday Dr Bob send me the pic and s/n. It's 13956, the pic is on the Barchetta site, so can't be used here. It was taken at a Bonhams sale.1993??
