I doubt it as Max Mayer 16223 still exists and is still a Maserati colour while 106G29 still exists and is a Ferrari colour - they are 100% different.
This is all very likely to be true. However in this case, the car is reported to have been returned to its original colour of verde tevere but...
If that's right and if I understand you correctly then either Ferrari Classiche have got it wrong or someone else has got it wrong. Here are some...
Ok - but the car as it is now is definitely not Verde Tevere, as confirmed by the company that resprayed it in 2014. They gave me the details...
It's just a pity that no-one else could confirm this before now and debunk the verde tevere myth!
Webster and Lancaster have been super helpful. The actual colour of the SWB is Verde Medio Metallizzato 106G29!!
thank you - I will
I contacted DK Engineering but they were not very helpful.
And in a different light - they are also very very similar [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've found pictures of Pininfarina's MGB Ex 234 prototype from 1965. It looks to be exactly the same colour as the SWB. Compare the pics. However...
Ok good points. But if you look at (a) my scooter (b) the scrap metal painted above and (c) the Maserati painted in verde tevere above you can see...
Except that look at this picture of my vespa in the paint shop after it was painted. The colour looks very different no in this shot, no? much...
Ok but the SWB was repainted by DK Engineering in around 2014 so there must be that exact colour on a database somewhere - the question is what is it?
Thanks. I'm enjoying building it. It's absolutely not the same colour. Working on the premise that the SWB is a Maserati colour, I have googled...
Yep that's the colour of my scooter! I really like it, but like you say it is not the Ferrari colour
So the question remains - what colour is the SWB Ferrari? It is wide reported as verde tevere
It's definitely Verde Tevere. I agree the difference is too much. I don't think that the Ferrari above is verde tevere. Even when repainted and...
So I have just painted my 1979 vespa in 16223 Verde Tevere, having been inspired by the famous Ferrari SWB in that colour. I did a lot of research...
Ok - I see that! No offence meant.
really? how do you know? This is not what Joe Macari stated in his blurb when he had the car - was he wrong?
