I haven't had it long enough to know what the total cost of ownership is going to be. However, from what I've seen so far, the price of parts isn't too much different to the Cobra. The 308 is old school technology, albeit with overhead cams. It has carbs and conventional electronics so I should be able to tackle most jobs myself. Having said that, it needed a new clutch, so I got someone to do that for me. It was done with the engine in situ and took less than a day with the cost of parts being less than $500, which I didn't think was too bad.
I suspect later model Ferraris with fuel injection, engine management and electronic suspension gubbins etc. may well be a different proposition.
