just a bump

 

I have the same color scheme but about 50 units later.

 

does your car have a leather dash. was it delivered new thru wide world of cars??

Vinyl I think. Was leather a dealer option?

 

I ordered the car with a brown leather dash. Up to that point, they did not put leather on the dash. 24399 was the first 308 with the leather dash. They did not want to do it at first. They finially agreed and charged about 2000 dollars for it. The car at the time was about 36m dollars

 

That must have nice.

 

. Bump

 

still looking

 

Hi have you tried contacting any of the Ferrari serial # elites? Marcel Massini? Ferrari Market Letter?

 

Thanks, yes I have

 

Is 24399 a US chassis from may 1978 ?
Do you have some picture of the cars ?

 

This is a USA delivered car: June 30, 1978 (I have some Pics some place.)

MSO from Ferrari states. May 22, 1978 . Probably the finish date.

Exterior Marrone "Dino" 106.M.73

Interior Seats & Doors: Tabacco (Tan) VM 846

Car was special ordered In March of 1978 and delivered in The U.S. In June!! 3 months start to finish. Just Like today!!!!!!!

Actually 'moro' is a like a slang for Morrocon I thought, not very PC I know. I think you were thinking 'toro'. Testa is head.

Today's lesson in bad names for colours.

 

"Maure" or "More" in French is a name given to the people living in North Africa in the Roman time.
"Mauro" or "Moro" is the same in Italian.
It is the kind of old expression which can by stigmatizing in a more contemporary time but that is the real term: "Testa di Moro"...
In France, it was also the name of a pastry cake in dome covered with dark chocolate...

 

Bump!!
