I am very close to buy another 328, a rare Argento GTB with very rare Blu Nuvola interior. I was looking for a new toy and another Ferrari model, 355, may be a 360 Modena but the picture of this Argento / Blu made me change my mind. I know this color combo is rare but is it the only one ? I "know" few 328 with "Blu" interior but there are two kind of Blu interior 328 : Blu Scuro ( dark blue ) and Blu Nuvola. I listed only five 328 with Blu Nuvola interior : GTS #60949; 67837; 73257 and GTB #71343 and 72583 Some of you know another one ? All information about them are welcome
Hello Bertrand, I owned 60949 from 2013-8. During my ownership, I had the interior re-trimmed in Jaguar Pale Blue from Martrim . This was the closet, but not perfect, match we could find to the original Nuvola. Unfortunately, the seat leather had become quite dried out, appeared to have been redyed at some point, and the driver's seat cushion had split. Upon consultation with upholsterer David Gallagher of Phoenix Upholstery, I decided to retrim the entire car, except the black dash and the original Nuvola head restraints (to preserve the embossed cavallino). David Gallagher / Phoenix are noted for their work with world reknown RX Autoworks, Vancouver, Canada. I sold the car locally, in Vancouver. The buyer posted a couple of times on Ferrari Chat prior to purchase but appears not to have posted since. I have no idea where 60949 is now. Kind regards Jon
Hello Jon, thank for your comment. I read your previous post on F-Chat about history of #60949. Unfortunately I don't know more about it and I haven't any information since 2018. May the actual owner see our conversation.....
So, GTS #60949, in USA but no news since 2018 #67837, Bianco UK RHD car. Sold by Walker Sport in UK in 201x with low mileage. Still registered in UK in 2019. No news since #73257, another Bianco but an US car for sale in Florida also with low mileage in 2021 and then ...? And GTB #71343 the only other GTB than mine I know. A Blu Medio Swiss car. Some pictures were show on Instagram two years ago, serviced in Germany, see below Image Unavailable, Please Login
Quite an unusual interior color, and likely fairly rare. Not to my liking, but very eye-catching and vibrant. I imagine it was only paired with certain exterior colors such as white, silver, blue, and perhaps black. Did Ferrari prohibit the pairing of certain interior and exterior colors in the way that US domestic manufacturers did back in the day when there were more choices in the interior and exterior color pallet?
I never heard that Ferrari prohibit any color but the interior color range for the 328 was limited. As far I know there were : Rosso Beige ( Tan ) Crema Nero Grigio Blu Scuro ( darker than Nuvola ) And three ( more ? ) could be ordered on special demand : Tabacco Testa di Moro Blu Nuvola Some others color could be ordered, may be but I still don't find any documentation about that
I still looking for any period documentation or catalog about interior colour for 328 but without success until today. Anyone here know more ?
I’d suggest having a look at leather swatches offered when ordering. Here is a link to one you can buy: https://www.classicferrariparts.co.uk/shop/ferrari-1980s-connolly-leather-sample-swatch-4/ Is A4303 code the one you’re after? Interesting write up on this GTS interior too https://www.gallery-aaldering.com/ferrari-328-gts-1986/
Thanks RED HEAD but to my knowledge "my" Blu Nuvola is VM3015 code as pictures below Image Unavailable, Please Login
US GTS #73257 is on BaT until November 1. Any F_chatter have interest ? Look very nice in Bianco and only 14k miles on it https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-ferrari-328-gts-52/
For what it's worth, my 328 GTS (blu chiaro exterior) has grigio leather seats and door cards etc, with dark blue leather dash/door arm-rests and dark blue carpets (which are believed to be original).
Also a rare color combo, I only know two 328 like that and both are UK RHD car. Could you please post a picture of your car and disclose his number ?
Hi Bertrand, it is indeed a UK registered 1988 RHD. Will post pictures of interior next time I'm out in the car (very weather dependent in the UK...!) Jon
Confirmed ! #71343 and #72583 are the only two GTB produced with Blu Nuvola interior. Still looking for any other GTS with this color interior
Very Very, very late to the game here but GTS #60949 is still mine and local to the Vancouver area. I’m still loving my Blu on Blu 328.
Never too late ! is it your since 2018 ? Don't hesitate to share picture with this Blu on Blu with Blu carpeting
Indeed it had been mine since 2018 when I bought it from Jon. I’ve enjoyed and loved it thoroughly. I especially love that it’s Blu and would not have kept it so long if it had been red.
