    Greetings from Texas. This is the first time I have ever posted to an automotive forum and would greatly appreciate some assistance. I purchased a largely original 4 cam, and I'm trying to do everything possible to ensure the car stays exactly the way it left the factory in late 1968 (one of the last 20 cars produced). This is my first (and likely only) Ferrari, but I'm not new to the preservation of '60s era sports and GT cars. Does anyone know if a list of the correct color of all of the various components has been archived? I took a '63 Vette all the way through the NCRS judging to their very highest level, and let me tell you, those guys have it documented down to the finish of the lock washers! Are there any books, resources, or available data bases on items like this? Is there a generally accepted judging standard that is available to Ferrari owners? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

    Just looked it up. Looks really fabulous. An outstanding low ownership/low kms car. My favourite colours too for any 275 - Giallo Fly/Nero. She's a beauty!

    I don't know of any books regarding the component colours, which doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any. There are only 2 books on the 275 cars that I know of, which are by Ian Webb, and one in French by Jess Pourret.

    I'm sure over the course of time you will learn all the correct finishes. There are 275 experts here and a number of owners, at least one of whom has a very well sorted 275 GTB/4, who may be able to help you.

    The carburettor air cleaner should be satin black. ;)

    Hello and congratulation.
    10911 GT is really a beauty.
    I have seen the car several times in the early 2000's, when the car was cared for and later offered for sale by
    Axel Urban's ProTrade GmbH in Hamburg and later in Munich.
    If you are interested in more pictures please sent me an pm.

    Again congratulation and best wishes,
    BjörnS
