    F129A? I'm not sure it exists. At least I've not been able to find any photos or reference of it other than being mentioned here.

    From what I have found F355 production started with F129B

    That's what I'm thinking. I wish I noted the markings of the car I sold as it was the 15th to come to NA.

    I read it in my Ferrari mechanics office waiting for him one day. It was a 1.75" thick binder with hundreds of pages.
    I have not seen it on-line.

    I could have sworn the one I dismantled in 16 was had a 129A. Powered up my old phone looking for pictures. Now I think it might have been a B. Wish I could find the pictures for certain my memory is shot since I’ve been living on pain killers for the last 3 years. 3 back surgeries hasn’t solved that problem.

    Just went and looked at my sale posts from 2016. It was a 129B. But that is when I was researching the differences all the same. It seems the stuff I read then has disappeared from the interwebs now.
