    Mine also with chocolate interior. Awesome combo. Was wondering if there's a way I can find out how many are like mine. Not seen another.

    The standard answer is that for most models there is no agreement on the number produced even before color let alone model year & interior

    Carbon's production numbers thread is a starting point for discussion and/or argument

    I would slightly moderate; if you don't mind (?)

    There is no agreement on the numbers of some 308 versions, mainly the carbed 308 GTBs (glass and steel) for which we nevertheless have a ballpark.

    There are doubts on the factory numbers for the "two valve" injected during the first months of production.

    There is no real doubt on the factory total production figures for the "QVs" which are not often contested.
    328 factory production figures are also accepted.

    It is getting difficult whenever you want to know how many of each "market variant" were produced...unless the official importer for the market published some data, as did Maranello Concessionaires in the UK for that market for instance. Some markets are true mysteries, like South America, Japan, etc...at least for the time being.

    As for colors distribution: forget it. There is no-one with the official full datas, only people who claim to know, but most of the time do not disclose their sources.
    Trainspotters putting lists of cars by chassis numbers may have had enough data to extrapolate and state things like: "I have 50% of the colors of such model and assuming my datas are right, we may extrapolate to that number for this color on the whole production range."

    I wonder if you can find out from Ferrari? You'd think they'd have kept records.

    Then again, they're Italian..

    They know, but will not answer this kind of question. Although I must say that I have never tried, but my guess is that they do not want to answer hundred of requests like: "I have a red/tan 328 GTB, how many produced, how many with "castoro" carpets and how many with black, how many with roof spoiler and how many without, etc...

    I'm sure there are fewer yellows now than what was produced. These cars have become red over time.
