Hi All, I am new to this site and I am lucky enough to have just bought a 1980 308GTSI. This may be a stupid question but is there any way of finding out from the Vin number any details of my 308. Items such as Paint code and interior colour. I have tried the search engine, Google and i called the Local Ferrari Dealer with no luck. . The car I bought was painted Red and it was a pretty good job (the first of many paint jobs), must have been done very close to when the car was new because it was stripped right down, But over the years it must have been painted a few times by the $299 Macco paint job! I know that the original color looks to be a light blue and it looks like it had a deep red interior. There are no paint code stickers or plates. Is there a site I can even pay to get this? Or to provide me with the info i need? The chassis number is ZFFAA02AXA0033663 Thanks Dean

Unfortunately, as said by Brian above, the answer is No. But you might get lucky by asking on a site like this one, as someone might have collected information on your car earlier in its life, but don't count too much on it...it might be in Matthias Urban's register also. Rgds
Welcome & enjoy If you are very lucky registering your car at myFerrari might eventually show the original colors for free - otherwise an email to customer service at the factory may yield the answer or offer to pay them for a certificate (used to be about a thousand bucks) or if you are feeling really rich try to get your car Classiche certified (five thousand bucks plus correction costs approx) Don't forget that every question you may have has probably been asked here and usually answered previously so its always worth looking
True. We might also add, as has been said many times before also, that if the O.P has reasons to believe that the car is not in its original color nowadays, most of the times (not "always") that original color might (just "might"...) be found in the places that are very difficult to strip and reach for painting, such as the inside of the doors...

My car had a color change and I see the original color whenever I do chassis work. The insides of doors got resprayed so they don't tell, but I removed the horn recently and the bracket is the original color under the bolt. The undercoat is worn under the fender liner bolts and shows the original color. Under the carpets has over spray of the original color. Walking around the car you'd likely never know, but I think as soon as you started working on the car you'd realize it. I once told someone who noticed a little red spot on my car that all Ferraris are painted red first because all Ferraris are red and that's what Enzo wanted. Then the best cars are carefully selected and painted yellow before they leave the factory. I don't think he believed me.
You should remove easly some interior's parts as the console lid for example. I don't think many people remove all interior when they repainted the car Image Unavailable, Please Login
