    Agreed. Don't look bad to my eyes.

    As to the white accents, add some white lettering on the tires and the look will be complete. But I have blue/blue/blue which would not be to everyone's taste.

    I think seller "user581" is an F-Chat member.

    Those campagnolo wheels are nice and those white trims and top are the least to worries.

    The owner was/is on Ferrarichat I think. Didn't this car live near Saratoga Springs?

    Aesthetically, maybe, but NOOOO! There is a thread somewhere about this car, but it's a one-of-a-kind special trim package that Enzo personally agreed to for a friend/top client or something like that. Only white trim factory model made.

    I would have left the Targa top black and opted for a set of Z 28 stripes front to back.

    i can only imagine the conversation at the factory when they were putting this all together

    "eh, he said he wants what color where? can we double check this please....cant be."

    Wow. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but who wouldn't love to have that kind of documentation of your 308's birth! Love those factory photos.

    I think Peter has sold this car before. Unique car that should be preserved as is, but doesn't really appeal to me. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

    Personally I don't like it. Put a red maple leaf on the roof and it would be a nice Canadian flag match. Even if the cdn flag is ranked high in the most beautyful flag this car does not. The wheel could be nice on a Maserati but not on a 308.
    Weird taste in my opinion.

    I don't care for it but if the owner likes it, that is all that matters.

    You could always preserve it's originality with a wrap. I'd put the wheels away, too.

    I think this car is a '70s style thing. I remember a friend who had a brilliant "lipstick" red Cutlass Coupe with white interior and white vinyl top back in the day. This 308 seems to mimic that zenith in style during the disco era.

    White, powder blue and other "cool" colors were a late-70s backlash to the brown velour and paisleys of the earlier part of the 1970s. For a short while, white was refreshing.
