Boxer leather headliner ?

Hi Franklin,
Mine has the leather headliner, black, matching the rest of the interior.
I'll get a pic tonight and post it for you.

 

It's original and it's smooth.

 

My car has the optional "leather headliner" and it's listed on the original factory invoice (see "512BBi owner's pouch" thread) as:

Upholstery: Leather BEIGE VM 3218 with "sky in leather" 3218

SKY=Headliner

Here's a picture and the headliner is seamless.

 

My 84 bbi also has a leather headliner, listed as costing £381 sterling, but every other surface in the car is also covered in leather, even the doors, and handles and rear parcel tray.
Is this normal??

I believe that that mini ribbed fabric in place of the leather was designed by Giorgio Armani exclusivly for Enzo Ferrari( correct me if I'm Wrong) but I had it in my first boxer and somehow remember being told that. I think you might have, if its original the same material on your owners manual pouch.
Its kind of like Fendi style trade mark stuff!

 

My car has leather inside of the door pockets too.

Sounds like the factory matched the pockets to whatever material the headline was made of.

 

I have the leather in the door pockets as well.
Should the cars with the leather headliner option have a matching leather owner's manual pouch?

 

I have the original bb512i sales brochure and the seats are featured in it, the cloth inserts are actually virgin wool and Ferrari used Ermenegildo Zegna to supply the material, in the brochure the car with those seats also has a matching interior door trim

My 79 512BB has a leather headliner, and everywhere else too (including inside the door pockets). Maybe fabric was the option?

 

It is sold-- I bought it!

 

It's quite a beast! I had it out today for a romp, it is really a lot of fun. Totally, completely, impractical, but that's part of what makes it so magnificent. And the noise, of course-- what a sound!

To it's credit, it is the first Ferrari I have ever bought which did not need anything after the PPI. It will need a major service next year, and it has the usual rock chips and slightly worn leather, but it seems to run great and most everything works. Even the clock works!

 

Mine is this way also. Doors + inside, and headliner. Everything is tan. It is real work to get to all of the leather with Hide Food. You have to assume that some of the leather has not been touched for years (or possibly never in the remote locations). I dare not clean the leather. I am afraid of the leather dye.

 

Don (congratulations)

I registered mine in Texas.

No need to purchase land in Oregon !!!!
