Mk1 v's Ferrari 308

Post by emrrtwo »

found a link to an article published in an American magazine called 'Motor Trend Classic' towards the end of last year. Is pretty good and really like the pics - if click on them can download high res ones!

Interesting article - cheers.

"Still, get the car on any quality back road, and it comes alive. There's a real delicacy to the MR2, which creates an instant rhythm as it flows in and out of turns."

Oh yeah, baby............

Nice find - gotta love the 308; one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever IMO.

What's with the 2-spoke steering wheel in the MR2 though? I'm pretty sure all the Mk1As I've seen had a 3-spoke wheel unless my mind is playing tricks with me?

They do have a 3 spoke, though it's slightly bigger IIRC than on the MK1b.

Not seen that steering wheel before in a MK1.

I believe that 2 spoke wheel was US specific thing.
