    Hi all,
    A few weeks back I posted that I was looking for a specific combination 2002+ 360 Modena(or older with upgrades) TDF, F1, Crema Interior with avg mileage around 2-3k if possible. I have had some response as far as substitutes but I need to find that exact combination. I have tried Ferraris-Online with Micheal Sheehan, as well as Copley Motors. Both are looking but nothing found just yet. Is there anyone out there who knows of somewhere that is especially good at finding very specific combinations that they may have used? I thought Grigio Ingrid was hard to find but this is proving even more so. Thanks in advance for any help..

    +1 on that.

    Also call Jim Lyons at Sports Car Company in San Diego. He does more volume in late Ferraris than anyone I know.

    Steve Barney at Sport Auto is the man, you can find no finer Ferrari guy out there, IMO.

    Steve is very knowedgeable and very honest. I have known him for 30 years. I have not bought a car from him, but I have bought parts and they were the right stuff at the right price

    Cauley Ferrari has one posted on their website that may be of interest...

    http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/cauley/

    Click "pre-owned" on upper left, then "ferrari pre-owned" on the upper right.

    2005 360 Spider F1 Blu Tour De France with Beige 5400 miles. FChat user Kizdan is who you want.

    I don't have any personal affiliation with the dealer (other than as a customer) or the vehicle.

    I know its a Spider, but just a suggestion... good luck with your search!

    I would also look at Autogallery in Woodland Hills, CA. they get alot of trade ins and they may have a line on that rarer color combination.

    Guys, great. I really appreciate the suggestions and contact info.

    xtrmesaleen - that would def be a top candidate if I were in the market for a Spider. I have no idea but this combo is much more prevalent in Spider form.

    xtrmesaleen,MVP - I will be giving your contacts a call in a bit. Thanks for the info:)

    Just curious how your search was coming... Also, I noticed The New Auto Toy Store has a 2000 360 Modena F1 (no price, listed as blue/tan) on their website with 15K miles. I don't have any affiliation with this dealer or car.

    The search is still on going. I have found some interesting facts though, seems there were only about 30 or so TDF Blue Modenas brought into the US. Not sure what % of those are with a Crema interior but at any rate its a damn small number. I'll give that New Toy Auto Store a ring, I dont believe I have talked to them yet. If you come across any, shoot em my way..

    If there were only 30 TDF's brought in---how many had Creama? Maybe 2 or 3---Creama is very popular in the UK --not over here...If you have to have that color combo--maybe look at importing a Euro car...

    OK, after no luck with the crema interior I am broadening the search. Still TDF Modena but now also would like a blue interior. This can be all blue or a combination. I have no idea if this is going to be any easier at all but I figure its worth a try. Thanks for any new suggestions.

    Glad I could be of assistance. It feels good to actually help instead of just trying to sponge info off everyone else here!!
    Let me know if anything comes of it.
