    Red with tan seats and floor carpets is the pick of the bunch mate! :D

    Red/tan with black floor carpets is not as nice IMO.

    But an all tan interior with black floor mats is ok. Tan floor carpets would get too dirty too quickly.

    For example........

    *My carpets are very faded also*

    Yeah I think the tan carpet looks much better than black.
    I reckon some shade of beige / tan is the perfect combination for red / Crema.

    Black carpet looks like you got "Old Mate" to sort you out with a "good deal" (pop round for a couple of VBs and a snag, yeah?)

    Three current Ferraris.
    308 GTB- My father bought it new in 1978; but I purchased it from him in 1987. So 28 years in my hands.
    360 Michelotto- I bought it in 2003, so 12 years in my hands.
    458 Speciale-I bought it new 13 months ago.

    It's interesting that there are at least 2 'in the family since new' 308s in Aus and a couple I can think of mentioned in the U.S. (one guy posted fabulous pics of himself with his car the day it was delivered and again recently). I wonder if any other F models can boast this?
    Think I'll go and make a thread in general to see how many original owners remain.

    My daughter already says she is worried about looking after Horse well enough when I'm gone.

    I told her once she wins a couple of concourse and track days in it she will feel better equipped.:)

    Late '88 328GTS, Black with tan, U.S. spec.
    3.5 years.
    I bought it off my cousin in the U.S. who owned it since 1990. So I guess 'in the family' for 25 years.

    I didn't realize your car was a US spec mate.

    Black with tan?? Yummy!! Care to post some pics, I haven't seen your car before.
