    I have a Swaters Blu car as well and there is definitely some color variation. Especially if it needs a bath or if it's in the shade. The pop in the sun freshly polished is stunning though, absolutely love the color, it's what sold me.

    Two pics parked in the same spot. One freshly polished on a sunny day The other in desperate need of a bath with dead bugs on the bumper and a slightly overcast day.

    Bradan did a restoration/restomod on a 355 and painted it this colour with red interior I believe.

    There was another nice one for sale recently in France in a similar spec.

    Same colours as mine... but mine is one of one... in Australia :D Well, almost the same colours... I misidentified the roof canvas as being black and replaced my canvas with a black one. Looks fine though.

    Do you have areas of white leather or is it all blue?

    I almost bought an Azzuro California GTB back in the old days when these cars were cheap (I think it was $55k or something like that). Should have done it. Stunning color.

    My car has all Blue leather trim, I will take a few pictures during the week, Apparently it is the only one the other 3 had crema interiors.
    I just have to get used to the F1 paddle shift, I also have a 348 hence the struggle going from a stick shift to paddle but I will master it in the spring.

    My 95 was verde inglese (British Racing Green) originally. Car was mechanically very sound but cosmetically it had been neglected and left parked outside so I got a good deal back in 2011 and decided to have a little fun restoring it and changed it to Rosso Scuderia (F1 orangy red from the Schumacher years) . I believe there is only 1 more in the world in this color and it's obviously another repaint.
