Hello everyone. I have this "virus" that is getting to me again. I have been thinking of buying either a 1969 Daytona spider conversion or a normal Daytona coupe. Both have been fully restored and appear to be in excellent condition and the asking prices are roughly the same,...about US$250,000 !!! The spider conversion is located in the East Coast U.S. which I am going there on the 14th to see this car (all the way from Japan !!!). The other coupe is located in Austria. My local (here in Yokohama, Japan) vintage Ferrari dealer friend personally went to this dealer in Austria and confirmed the quality. My dilemna here is,...I think the spider is more appealing just from the fact that you can enjoy that engine music with the top down. But the drawback is that it is a conversion model done by M. Sheehan in the '80s (looks very acceptable tho). But since it is a conversion, the market price is half or less than the genuine Spider. Any comments, two senses, r simply biased wisdoms would be appreciated. Thanx Jimmy
