Garage
if you are a diy-er you will need a lift in your garage to service the TR. The entire rear end comes out with the motor and trans when you do the big service (about 15-20k) because of access you end up replacing all that you can while its out. Its a wonderful torque monster of a 914-6 on steroids and you can actually see out of it for a mid engine exotic (compared to a countach, miura, boxer, turbo esprit) Very driveable fast TOURER. Would i own one- qualifed yes- providing i did all the stuff myself, it is a cool car. Get a later 512 TR- lots of little detail improvements.
Super low mileage Ferrari:
As with any car that may sit most of the time (less than 3k per year?) ferraris are no exception in that you should use the best quality fluids, gas treatment, and fluid/filter changes twice a year as a precaution. Tires are an issue as well- we have seen like new tires that are 10+ years old on some of these cars and they absolutely should be replaced
