wind noise only on passenger side over 80mph, original hood .
piccies in an hour or so..lol just gonna throw a bucket of water over it and leather it off

Congratulations Steve... Looks like you found a nice one

May not be the colour you origionally wanted but condition sounds excelent, cant wait to see the pics.

Must admit I don't like black cars, totally the wrong colour for here, they get too hot to touch and look dirty 10 mins after washing.... but I have 2 of them

BTW... I'm sure you ment wind noise at 70 MPH ?!! anything above that would mean you were breaking the speed limit and I'm sure no B owner would do that.....

Rosso Corsa! Well chosen, all the best Barchettas were painted red it is the only proper colour for an Italian sports car. If you need the colour code it's on the sticker beneath the tonneau cover. Cannot wait to see the pictures.

looks better in the pics , has got some bodywork issues but the 1 owner , history ,etc makes it worth keeping mint














there you go

Well done Steve... correct colour choice too...

Steve
