I thought the only Anniversary model issued by the factory was the Spyder. Is the model you are referring to a Aus dealer special edition?
Rockits, that sums up my decision exactly. We didn't get 3200s over here, so I can't speak to them. But as I have said, I looked at every car out there, with not much off the table money wise, my conclusion for a classic 3 pedal spyder was based on many factors, the main one was what can I drive for a looong time. I have owned 2 other Mas. a Fezzie, Jag etypes, Corvettes, lots of good cars. I love my 4200. Every drive is an occasion, every parking lot a car show. Mrs. Oishi, who could care less about cars, loves it, and plans road trips for us in it. I seriously considered a GT but in the end the spyder won out. Glaze88, enjoy whatever you buy.I went through a h3ll.of a.lot of cars in my journey to the 4200 so it was massively considered, planned and executed quickly when the best example available was there to be had.
The chap in Melbourne who bought my Assetto had to pay quite a bit to meet the import compliance regs, and that was on top of the shipping cost. Are they still stringent on import compliance?Yeh our dollar doesn't make importing that attractive at the moment but I think it is such a buyers market on 3500GT & 4200's that a great car at a great price will come along in the near future

Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone seen the video of the 90th anniversary parade thru Rome, with 90 cars done up with each year's news? Does anyone know what became of these cars? Also, does anyone know if there were any 90th aniv. cars ordered with a 6mt transmission? Now that would be a unicorn.
I believe that Australia have tightened down on importing cars now unless of some historical importance.
The Guy that bought my 4200 in NZ moved to Australia and didn't take it with him because of that.
This was in the last 18 months.
I stand to be corrected though.
Our turbos are these.The turbos as IHI units, and i replaced mine a few years back. The code on the invoice from the garage is 111040 but i am not sure thats an IHI number. They are pretty old school so not ceramic or anything like that. They are cast iron I would guess, and they are both oil fed and water cooled and pretty large units, hence the big smile you get when they fire up
