    Hi all,
    My GTS was originally delivered in a rare color, diamond pearl. Delivered new in Berlin, Germany.
    As it has damage, and the engine lid with the sticker is missing, I do not know how this color came into existence or what the official name from Ferrari is.
    In the service book (see pic) the color is called Diamond white Mica, with a General Motors code to identify it.
    Did Ferrari deliver a 355 in a bespoke color? Or is it just a rare one but not really special?
    Are there more 355´s or other models around in this color?

    Member Carnutdallas posted a picture of (assumed) my car 15 years ago in Berlin, on the huge thread "picture of your 355 you took today ", page 131. Are there any more pics from my car or any other diamond mica/pearl around? Or members from Berlin remembering the car?

    My car is a project now, but well worth saving because of the color I think. But any more history or pics would be great.

    Email a dealer, provide your VIN and ask for the build info - that will include the color codes. I have this data for all 3 (1 sold) of my 355's

    I think I already have the build info, as I do have the Original papers with the car. And the car does not have signs of earlier restoration, and the engine is matching nrs.
    I am interested to know more about the color, and if it was a one-off or not. Would Ferrari provide that kind of info as well you think?

    The build info is not included with the car, it come from Ferrari's database. I doubt you will ever get any statistics on how many of a particular color were produced.
