I came across a classic European sports car for sale on Craigslist about a month ago. The car is a 1981 Ferrari with the license plate number 308 GTB. It is a dream car for speed enthusiasts and quite rare in the US. The Italian manufacturer Ferrari released it in 1981, and it is the successor of the Dino 246 GT/GTS. This 2-seater sports car has a V8 mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout designed by Pininfarina.

Detail by owner
Land Rover - diesel AND left hand drive AND ex-Dutch military. This one is all the cool things.

Did I mention that this is a small diesel? With the boys' and our cars though, we just have no more room in our driveway.

The Land Rover Series III is the tough looking safari truck that came before the Defender. The 109 is the long-bed. The whole top comes off of this ex-Dutch Military truck so you can drive it as a convertible in the summer. With the big sides, no windows, and all the looks you get while driving, this would also be a perfect truck to drive with your company's name on the side. Classic, tough, cool-looking truck with low miles; This one is unrestored, very complete, and very original. No windows have been cut into the top (although they certainly could be added). No seats have been added into the bed (although again, either jump seats or benches could be added). It is still the original NATO Green . You can't drive anywhere without getting waves, second looks, and thumbs up.
