    Hi all. I was looking at one of the 612s on Ebay but not sure if it's NART or TDF blue. Also not sure about the interior color. Can anyone help? It's the one offered by Straightline.
    TIA

    The two dark blues are TdF and Pozzi (I think). TdF is metallic and Pozzi is not. There are also some light blues, but I can't remember the names.

    I don't know anything about the specific car you're looking at, sorry.

    Pozzi(not metallic)-TdF-Nart-Mirabeau-Alloy Swatters is sl darker than TdF, but hasn't been standard color in years.

    I thought long and hard about special ordering my 612 in Swaters, since I liked it so much on my 456 and it wasn't that much extra. However, after staring at the samples for a long time, I really couldn't tell the difference between Swaters and TdF. So I went with TdF-- easier to say.

    Although not in the picture, I think Azzuro California falls in between Mirabeau and (Grigio) Alloy.

    I drove the low mileage blue car today at StraitLine with the 20" wheels. It was described as Tour de France Blue? Both blue cars are the same color. Mark Brown

    also - the car shows no record of damage yet there is damage on the passenger side behind the rear wheel - the paint is perfect but you can see it was not prepped correctly. so these car fax reports don't tell the whole story.

    There is a paint sticker inside the hood which will tell you exactly what the paint is, if you're wondering.

    As for damage, are there other signs of damage, or are you just looking at the paint? It's not unusual for picky owners, or even FNA, to have paintwork done because of a ding or something like that. My car, new from the factory, had to have the door repainted because of a small corrosion issue which manifested itself as a paint bubble.

    whoa - u know it could have been a bubble - you could hardly tell it at all - it looked like someone smeared the paint when it was wet and then shot more paint on it when it was painted at the factory. the paint was perfect like i said, but it was sunk in ever so slightly. weird?
