Is there any way to prove what color your 308 came with?

Yes, you can request a "Heritage Certificate" from Ferrari. You can do this thru www.ferrariowners.com It will tell you what color your car left the factory...

If you require additional information contact Ferrari's US representative at the Classiche Department, in NJ. The Heritage Certificate will give you the basic exterior/interior colors. But I have a unusual interior color combination: the dashboard (door pulls, map pockets) are pelle rosso 3171 (red) and my interior is crema 3997. They were able to confirm for me that the car was built with a dashboard in pelle rosso, via email. I asked for written documentation, which they gladly provided for a fee. The documentation lists the car model and vin #, and under original specifications it lists the exterior color, interior color, dashboard color, carpet color, name of dealer it was delievered to and the month and year it was delivered to the dealer.

I went to the garage and then to contact and sent a e-mail and requested the info that I wanted, is that how I was to do that

 

could you walk some of us through as to how you got the link to obtain the certificate? I've tried a few times at that site and always come up empty. It does not seem very intuitive


Thanks.

 

Hey Phrogs,

How about some pics of the car?? Is it still blue?

JIM

 

I found it Johnny, thanks! I'm waiting for the email response now. Great stuff!!

 

Now, the next step is where does one get a new (replacement) decal sticker with the correct paint number to place under the rear hood?

 

So far this is the only place I've found: http://www.italiancarparts.com/labels_plates/ferrari_labels_plates.htm.

But, they only have the basic stuff. I've been trying to find someone who has (or can make) a 101/C for me. Anyone know who actually makes and prints these stickers?!

 

DAMN, I love BLUE Ferraris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JIM

 

Thanks for the link. Does anyone know the meaning of the number after the red 300/(#?) Some are a "6" some are a "9" but so far mine (in records) appears to have no number after the 300. My car is missing the original decal. I want to order the correct one if possible. I'll see what the Heritage Certificate comes up with.

 

Here is the response I got today about getting a Heritage Certificate. Looks like I'll have to do something else (???)

OK, that's new. I got my Color Certificate last month and my car is an 84. The old Heritage Certificates were like that but I assumed they changed the policy with the new website. Bummer they are back to their old tricks.

 

Wow, odd that they changed their policy again.

Try contacting the Classiche rep in the US at (Lucy Petrone) her email is [email protected] . She might be able to help or at least look up the information you are seeking.

Best regards,
Dino

 

Thanks Dino. I just sent her an email so we'll see what happens next.

 

Maybe I should try again in a week?

 

I got the same email a few months ago when I asked for info about my 1982 Mondial.
Seems they change the rules like the wind blows. Sounds very italian

Gonne try it again next week.
