    Greetings!

    Coming off a Europe trip and made the pilgrimage to “Mecca” - aka Ferrari. I’ve had a couple 360s, and am finally ready to pull the trigger on my favorite - the F355.

    The European market is flooded with great color combinations but the US market seems a bit stale.

    Does anyone have a lead on a cool, non traditional colored GTS/Berlinetta?

    I found an old thread with a Monaco GTS from 2004... but haven’t seen anything but that spider that was for sale a couple years ago.

    I assume there just weren’t many sold here? Was crema sold in the US? Thanks in advance!

    Rick

    Welcome to the club. I would say that most looking for a car now are hoping to find a little more uniqueness out there.

    I know I am.

    I know that it is a different model but on eBay there are 17 fairly identical red on tan 328... doesn’t that get a bit old? Red over tan 355 seem to do that a bit also but there was definitely more diversity later in the new model ranges. Not 85% red tan like back in the 80’s.

    Europe has some good unique color combos. 1 more year and then we can start importing the 1995’s.

    I think your observations are correct. If I were looking to buy today I would import one built in 94.

    I think you're good to go on anything built 4/94 and before Robb as it goes by build date not year model. (or maybe you have a few months to wait?) Not sure when production started.

    Monaco/crema would be my choice for a Spider, but there's only one of those in the US that I know of, and I don't know where it is.
