    Hi everybody: does anybody here own a 512 M Schedoni luggage set or has a picture of it? I'm trying to learn if has four pieces or it has just three pieces like the one I was offered. I never saw one in advance nor on a brochure or on a book, so I would need some help to learn what I'm buying.

    Thank you very much

    ciao

    Hi Albert, mine has three pieces and I suspect it is the same as the 512 TR set, though I have never established whether the M had its own set for the just 501 cars made. The shape of the front boot/trunk is different because of the headlights.

    I'd send you a pic except the car is here with me but the luggage is in storage, because it takes up all the space in the boot/trunk which I need for school bags/shopping bags/laptop bags whenever I drive the M. I'd love to live a life where I used the Schedoni luggage in between home and my mistress's house in Monaco every weekend but...not really.

    Thank you very much. No it's not like the TR one, it's a bit different, just a bag is almost (or exactly) the same but with just a different script. I will post a picture as soon as possible. Yes, the Schedoni luggage set usually aren't used as suitcases but just kept and preserved as a piece of art

    Ciao

    I'd like to see, and I'll take pix of my own set whenever I get to them. They are still in the bags they came in, I don't think I've ever actually examined them.

    Thank you very much, Mike: you are very kind.

    The F512M luggage set has just the script "F512M" embossed.

    ciao

    If you only have 3 pieces - you're unfortunately missing 2. It was a 5 piece set that came in black or tan.

    Most sets sold are missing the keys, dustcovers, brief case, and the shorter/smaller of the two larger bags (oval shaped).

    The F512 M set has two big rounded bags: one looks to be (probably) the same as the 512 TR rounded big fat one.

    The 512 TR set there is in the 5 pieces version and in the 6 pieces version too.

    The Testarossa (TR) had 6 pieces, but not the 512TR due to not having the full back shelf space like a TR. The two large TR luggage bags are thinner and brief case is more like a map case (I have one because I like the size), while 512TR brief case is just like a traditional normal brief case.

    Do you have pics or a factory document offering a 6 pc 512TR set?

    Thank you very much. I own a 6 pieces Testarossa set: it's exactly the one you pictured. I never had in my hands never saw in person a 512TR set, so I don't know exactly. I always saw pictured with the five pieces set. At this point I think my source is wrong, as is wrong saying that the M has four pieces while I saw one with three pieces and another one here (that ownes it too) has three pieces too.

    I will inquiry as the 512TR and the F512M are two cars I don't know very well at all

    Thank you very much for your help

    ciao

    I got the luggage set friday evening, today it arrived at my home.

    The small bag has a curious side shape, a bit rounded. Never seen before in any other Schedoni set I own.

    It comes from a 1996 F512 M. If the set is three pieces, I did one of my best deals ever. If the set was four pieces... well, I did a good deal the same as it's very but very rare: more or less just sixty F512 M Schedoni luggage sets were produced, while the 512 M should be around 500 cars

    I have a 512TR set and there is the longer, narrower piece for behind the seats. The piece is embossed with 512TR only. It does not fit quite right unless you move the seats forward a bit. So the 512 TR complete set is the same as the Testarrossa, 6 pieces.

    No, the TR 512 set is not the same as Testarossa: it's a bit different, even if very close. There is both in 5 and 6 pieces versions. You are right: there is embossed the 512TR script only

    I have had 3 sets of the 512TR luggage and all were 5 pieces with the briefcase. I have never seen a 512TR long case, so if it exists, can you produce a photo. It has to be very rare.

    Checked: You are right, the set is 5 pieces. Maybe there there is an optional cabin bag (so the total can go up to six bags), but it's not for the trunk.

    Jimbo, I am not with the luggage at this time. I will post a photo of the long narrow piece in a couple of weeks. It appears to be the same as the Testarossa but as I said earlier it is embossed with 512TR only.

    I have never understood where the briefcase is suppose to fit. Unless it is the deeper indent behind the seats. But then there is absolutely no room for the longer narrower piece.

    My point exactly. You could not use the briefcase and the long case behind the seats at the same time. The briefcase seems to fit OK there. Maybe Shedoni just made them to be different?
