    What was the stock interior colors on 84 / 85 308 QVs? Have run across a few with odd combinations. Found one with a red dash... kinda funky. Is that something the factory would do? How much would a new dash run? Can you get one dyed?

    A red dash would never have been standard, though you could get red leather on the seats and doors/console as part of the normal configuration.

    That said, I've seen a red dash on a TR, special ordered. If you had enough money, you could get anything. The car is for sale now at The Sports Car Company here in San Diego -- not something for the faint of heart.

    A good upholstery shop can do whatever you want to the dash. Ferrari used vinyl as standard, which tends to hold up better under sun exposure. They went with leather for the Boxer, 355, TR, 550 etc., all of which have bad shrinkage problems on the dash.

    Thanks Bullfighter! I figured it would have to be a special order or something added. Interesting... I'm not a fan of the color but the rest of the car seems solid.

    I have a red leather dash on my QV Euro.
    I have no evidence that it is not stock.

    I use a black dash cap on the dash as the red leather is a great glare reflector.

    While a red leather dash was not standard, it was available as a special order. I have a red leather dash in my 328. I have also seen 2 other cars with red leather dashboards, a metallic black 328GTS, and a silver TR.

    Best regards,
    Dino

    Here is a picture of my 308 dash. There is a reflection on the dash that makes
    the left part appear less red but its really one color.

    My 1985 308 has a brown leather dash and tobacco seats with brown piping. It was a special order from the factory as stated on the delivery sheet in the records. I think it looks incredible although it is not "traditional."

    I like the red dash on the 308, not so much on the 328. Interesting to see all the various combinations delivered on these hand-built cars. Part of what makes them special.

    I always thought the previous owner changed the dash after he bought it but now I am having second thoughts. Mine is very similar in color to the one 328 pic.
