    Car is 1998 355 F1 GTS. Leather is darker than "normal" Tan but not as dark as Cuoio. Not sure what it's called or its color code number.

    1998 Berlinetta, Tan (Yuck!), Horsey, no contrasting piping (I've heard of contrasting stitching through the Scaglietti Option Program, but I don't think they offered contrasting piping). Robbie? Additionally, that car has a leather-covered factory roll bar, which was not available in the US.

    I have the adjustable tilting headrests as well in my 1995 coupe.
    I thought it was standard in all coupes .

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all GTB & GTS cars have the headrests with the embossed logo.
    Only the spiders do not. They are totally different headrests in the spiders to make room for the top folding.

    They tilt forward like the bimmers.

    And this sounds correct to me. For sure the spiders are different and do not tilt, but it is strange that they did not include the logo on the spiders. Poor guys...another reason to keep the B.

    Now that makes sense ............ maybe Ferrari did not want GTS/BTB owners to feel so bad because spider owners get more engine sound in the cabin ........ :D

    GTB's and GTS came with the horse on the headrest (same seats in GTB & GTS) The spiders used a different seat and no horsey.

    Continuing to support the pino theory - '97 spider with no horse on the headrest.

    The Flip camera setup was almost like a Rube Goldberg contraption, except the challenge was to keep it perfectly still.

    I placed an expanable (spring loaded) shower curtain rod behind the seats, and wedged it against the bulkheads on the sides (slightly visible in the lower right corner of this photo). Then I mounted a camera mount, with a jaw like clamp onto the rod, with the Flip camera at the top. The zip ties were used to keep it from moving, and to pass the track safety inspection, as I figured they wouldn't want objects in the car that could come loose.

    The arrangement worked well, except that the first run the swivel mounting screw at the top came loose, and the third run the instructor blocked most of the field of view. In both cases the placement picked up lots of wind noise. The video quality was pretty good for a small, low priced camera.

    I'm going to try to clamp the mount on the side of the windshield frame and have what was a vertical position now be sideways, so the Flip camera is shielded by the windshield.

    Another good place for clamping the camera is to the passenger side headrest support after the headrest is elevated a bit.
