    Thanks for sharing these photos! First pics I've ever seen of an Azzurro Monaco 550. There is supposedly at least 1 in the US, s/n 120827 is reported to be this color and resides in NorCal. Needless to say, one of the rarest colors on these cars, only a handful were made at most.

    I think I like it more than TDF blue.

    Azzuro Monaco. That's a new one to me. Dan...what year was this color available? Sure like this, although Azzuro California might be my favorite. I like the lighter blues...these even more so than Blu NART or my Blu Sebring.
    TdF is too dark for my preference. Reminds me a lot of my Mendip Blue DB7, which is tough to keep clean and shows every scuff...

    Johnny Ray,

    I love your car too. Pretty sure I took a long hard look at it last Fall. If I recall an optician in NY owned it. Very nice guy, but I wound up buying my unicorn in the interim.

    I don't know if Azzurro Monaco was ever available as a "standard" color, I think it's purely been special order. A few 456's, F355's, and 360's have it, as well as at least one F430 and 458. Gorgeous color, IMO.

    That's a sweet car you bought. Please tell me that it cost a bit more than my 97? Yes, I did buy it from the optician. Took some time to make a deal, but finally came to terms around Christmas and took delivery at the end of January. Not a perfect car, but very nice and apparently well serviced.

    I'm glad that I am out of the market now, as it looks to be frustrating unless one simply throws a bunch of money at the problem of closing on a good car.

    Hoping for a few more spring rains to clean the roads of sand and salt, then will go for my first drive. Can't wait!

    Thank you! I'm now up to three total.

    Here's another pic of "BP 205" from Hong Kong, by the way:
