    Did Glen from PA used to live in WA? There was a Glen out here with a Yellow TR. That would be a strange coincidence...

    And I'm partial to blk/blk, red/tan, and the metallic sky blue/blk combos for TRs. I went with traditional red/tan for my 512TR.

    Very keen on Slag's combo but black/black with a fresh Tubi peeking through is awesome, too. Followed one like that in the Eastern Suburbs in Sydney...

    Can't wait to see the blu chiaro/crema "time warp" car Jerry has just got....

    Cheers

    That is one of the most STUNNING Ferrari's I have ever seen!! Very nice color combo and the interior looks awesome with the dark brown contrasts.

    That Grigio is stunning and rare. My personal fave , FWIW, is Black/Tan, tho'.

    Believe it or not they had automatic seatbelt tensioners that when you closed the door it would automatically "buckle" you in as it slid upwards towards the back of your head so to speak. Several U.S cars had them for a few years back in the early 90's, needles to say they were very annoying.

    Yes, those are a pain. I frequently forget to latch the bottom belt with those systems. I'm glad they stopped making them that way.

    I don't belive I've seen a BAD color combo on a TR, ever. I prefer the early cars blue or silver with a white or tan interior and the 512TR's in red or black with black or tan interior... but they all look excellent to me! :) Great photo's everyone, thanks for sharing them.

    One question, did they make a red interior on a TR? I'm not sure it would look good on this model, I'm just curious. It goes well with silver exteriors on many cars, IMO, especually vintage cars.

    There was an 800 mile TR that was blue with red interior sold by Naples Motorsports in Florida a few months back. It was a little too over the top for my tastes. The seller of my blue TR said his buddy saw the red interior one and it was really tough on the eyes in person.

    Those 5 spoke wheels on the newer TR's just bring that car into the modern times! Amazing what a set of newer design wheels will do!

    Blue over red, hum... different I suppose. :)

    I've read in Forza that a repaint on TR's can really effect resale and if possible should be avoided. Is there a spacific reason why its worse on this model then many others, or is it just that with all the nooks and crannies from the side grills that it can be tough to get right? Thanks in advance.

    Wow, looking at the pics its better then I'd imagined. That blue is jaw dropping on TR's! Probably fetch more down the road then your 'normal' TR for being a unique combo.

    I hear Naples is quite a place for cars and homes. My parents went there and told me they saw Bentleys, Lambos, and Ferraris everyday. My kind of place! ;)

    I'm a big fan of white/red and white/white (as pimp-tastic as it may seem) TR's. Blue Sera/Red and Blue Sera/Creme are also very cool.
