    The brown TR is terrible. I would buy the blue or red all day long vs. the brown.

    Thats a given but he was talking about a price discount for the brown. If money was no object the choice would be automatic.

    Its a great car! Wish I had unlimited money to buy all the cool Fcars I saw for sale ;)

    I think the Brown TR is pretty sweet. Its not a color I would ever voluntarily choose, but lets face it, the TR looks great in any color! And, this car is a one of a kind - there are red TRs everywhere.

    It is blu chiaro. This is the same car that you guys were chatting about earlier in the thread that was for sale a couple years ago at Steve Harris Imports.

    Thanks. I've obviously heard differing opinions, but it is at least unique :)

    Interesting!

    The interior looks more subdued than I remember. Not bad at all!

    I absolutely LOVE the blue exterior but I would be more partial to creme seats and upper door panels.
    For some reason I can't handle light blue interior pieces but then, if the price was right, I would consider a low mileage, sanitary, "brown" TR. Go figure.......................

    Awesome color, my 85 is the same color combo. Yours is the only other one I have ever seen. So much for originality, however I have yet to see another one in NY.

    Shamile...good eye for noticing no temp sticker. The previous owner used to periodically wash the engine bay down with a caustic liquid of some sort and totally destroyed all the finishes. I had to pull the motor and tear it down the the block/heads, and piece by piece restore everything, every nut, bolt, and washer. To say it was a lot of work is a major understatement. I just never got around to getting the new stickers.

    Hello Kerry....oh I recognized it alright. But there is a fine line that I don't cross. It's okay to a point to mention previous cars (see post #35)....but I feel it would be disrespectful to you, the current owner, if I were to post a lot of pics or information about your car. Since you are a valued member of this forum....it should be your choice to post info about your car...

    So it's not a case of "out of site....out of mind"...well maybe the "out of mind" part.....yes...

    Hi gang,
    Look folks,
    This color is "Mahony".
    I know,colors and tastes...every one got their owns...!
    All that I can comment on this,is:
    I had several Ferraris before,most of them were Rosso,of course.
    Some months ago I went to see a Mondial 3.2L in the same color.
    Having looked at the pictures of the car,I said to myself that this color is not really the best on a Ferrari,but it's not that ugly....
    I started thinkin',if I bought it,I would respray it Rosso....
    Once I saw the car personally,it looked 100.000 times better then in the pic's!!
    Of course I bought it,and I had big fun with it...
    Sold it last month to get some cash flow to buy my '86 Testaroosa in Rosso pelle nero....
    All this to explain:all of you folks on Ferrarichat would be very enthousiant if you had the chance to see the Mahony Testaroosa in reality,not pic's...that car must be tremendous,and if it was located in Europe,I would have bought it....not a joke!
    Speedman.

    Forgot something:
    Even my 2 kids are having fun with the Testa....
    Have you noticed the steering wheel spacer?
    It's the same I have in my 308 GTB QV...
    Why?
    Not difficult:I'm 6"6 small.....
