Youtube : Ferrari 400 GT carburetor and distributor maintenance by Tom Yang

A worthwhile video to watch for the tinkerers or for those who are considering a cheap 400.

A Ferrari 400GT got delivered to my shop by a new owner. It needed some help to get running right again. #tomyangnet

The last "Affordable Ferrari?" The 5-speed makes it more sporty than the Automatic versions of this car, but the cost of entry is just the beginning. 35 hours of labor in this video alone, and I still need to do a clutch!

Similar Magic - Ferrari 400 vs Citröen SM

An older article I bumped into this week. Not sure when this was published though. It's from the Dutch Citröen SM club and written in English:

Instagram : Period 80ies photo's in London

Some nice period photo's from Robert Westall via Instagram:

Ferrari 400s in blue in the late 1980s in and around Cadogen Square in London, including two blue cars in the same photo.

After seeing 985GYT on the street so much, it appeared looking immaculate for sale at @Talacrest in Egham in 1993, where the first photo is taken.

The Ferrari 400 is an extremely handsome GT Ferrari, but it can be hard to capture its sheer elegance in a photo.

985GYT can anyone identify this car? I have enough photos of it!

In one of the Instagram comments it is mentioned "Michael Winner" had one as well. When checking I found this quote in Ferrarichat:

"Nice! You probably know it was originally the HR Owen demonstrator, photographed at Stanford Hall for publicity shots, then subject to a road test by Autocar Magazine. After its time as a demonstrator, it was acquired in October 1978 by the film director Michael Winner."

Ferrari Borrani Wheels & Stainless Steel Exhaust System Brochure - Maranello Concessionaires UK - Wire Wheels

I noticed this brochure and spotted this Borrani option page for the 400 series. Apparently it was also available for the 308 ? Note the incorrect spelling of the Borriani name on the brochure.
