    Canada and the U.S. share "North American specification" Ferraris.....at least by 1977...my Canadian delivered car is the same as my American delivered units.

    It has more of a London in Autumn feel rather than Montreal in spring/summer

    Serial # is 03154. Haven't checked to see the details or history. It does have US Spec front and side lights, but has Euro style taili lights. The interior is all red and doesn't look factory, but then again, how many cars today do? The center tunnel is also done in red leather.

    Overall, an extremely nice car that didn't deserve to sit in the rain.

    Kinda fun to just happen upon at random.

    Yes its like meeting a friend!
    I think the U.S. indicator set up is not very nice(my op) would it go against the originality of the car to change to the Euro style?

    Hello Shawn,

    I think very early US-modells, build 1972, had original Euro style taili lights...
    Can anybody confirm this?
    Nothing about the history I could add, #03154 is blank in my register.
    Shawn, did you identify the state on the number plate?
    Regards Matthias

    I think it's quite possible that the owner merely substituted the Euro amber turn signal lenses for the red N.A.-market lenses. I did that with one of my Dinos back in the late '70s. Fred
