    You should try to shoot an E-Mail at Tony Willis who has the archives of Maranello Concessionnaires and should be able to answer.

    Mine is 19717, so pretty close. Maranello lost records for my car...flood, fire, I can’t recall the cataclysm, but OP’s car may well be in that neverland too...

    The Factory has the color codes..

    It would probably be best for your dealer to take it thru channels.
    They once did it via email but "things changed".....

    Yep, Tony sent me copies of original order from dealer to Ferrari and delivery spec from Maranello Italy..plus of course all the chassis/body/engine numbers ..even the final invoice price details. Well worth the GBP 70 iirc.pm me if you need his email.

    Email please? I just bought a 77 steelbody dry sump GTB from London. It’s on its way to Australia as we speak. Would love to know these details.

    Hi
    Ive tried reaching out to tony via the email in the thread but no reply for many months. No doubt corona having some impact.
    Any other way to find out the factory spec of my 76 308 19689 ?

    thanks :)

    In a nutshell: no. (Sorry for not being able to make you a more satisfying answer)
    Asking the factory will probably end with you being channeled towards the "Classiche" program, which will cost you something in the order of 4.000 GBP, and might end up in the rejection of the car if it would be judged "not compliant"...
    There are the different registers kept by enthusisasts over time, that might (MIGHT) have spotted the car here or there in its days...
    But Tony Willis would have been your best bet by far...

    Mines 19815, in Ireland, and I'm also looking for info on my car. Its pretty much all original, except a colour change, I think, when it was 2 years old or less. If anyone has any ideas. I sent an email to Tony last year, but no reply, maybe I had an incorrect address?

    Hello Gents,
    I have contacted Tony this morning to confirm he is happy to be called upon for his expertise and to allow me to give his e-mail address to those interested parties.

    Email [email protected]

    Best of luck with your search.

    You are right - he really is a top guy and so knowledgeable on all things Ferrari. I am lucky to count him as a friend.
