    No, this is a different one. It has Rosso interior. (More like Maroon.) I was a bit concerned about how the red would look as it was glary in pics, but It's nice, not gaudy (IMHO) and kinda has a retro feel about it.

    I'm not sure the maroon interior would work with any other exterior color, but it works fine with white. This is probably a rare combination and will make your car that much more valuable in the future. And don't worry about how much you drive it (as long as you don't have an insurance mileage limit to worry about).

    I've seen photos of at least one other white 328 GTS where the owner had the roof painted white. It made the car look particularly handsome, and you may want to consider that in the long run.

    Welcome to the 328 fraternity!

    Yes! I've considered that too. Another member (jimpo1) has a white 328 with a painted roof and it looks awesome. I'll have to do the same to mine, after all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
    I'll look at either fabricating another roof out of aluminum, (could get totally carried away and make one out of Carbon....hmm..) or make a cover/fixture for the top I have. Either way, I'll get a white roof on the car sometime over winter!
    Thanks!, It's great to be here, and I look forward to contributing in every way possible.

    Bruce,

    Congrats on the car! 328's are wonderful cars. I'm about to head out the door here at work and drive my '89 home in the rain. I put over 500 miles on mine this past weekend. Just make sure that you drive the hell out of it! They like that. ;)

    Congratulations.
    Nice unique colour. It is quite a change as I am used to my red GTS.
    Gorgeous, must be very proud.

    It looks great. White really brings out the lines on a 328.

    Those driving shots are great! Here is the only "Action" shot I have of my TR, courtesy of F-Chat member karc, who takes some of the best Ferrari pics I have seen.

    Nice Car Alex!
    I like TR's in white too. I'm not adverse to Red F-cars, they look like there going fast standing still and I'm hoping there is a red F40 in my future. Right now it's nice having something a little different though.

    On the photo front, my cousin had a very nice red TR in Scotland. He sold it when he came to the US and now regrets having only a couple of very ordinary photos of the car. (No matter how nice the frame is, it won't make an ordinary picture look great..) I think it's well worth taking some time to stage a "shoot" while owning a car you really like. I plan on doing that once I get a white roof for the car.

    Bruce: Congratulations! These pictures made me a little misty eyed. I loved that car but I'm so glad she is with someone who will care for her with the respect she deserves. Looks like you are having a ball, keep it up. Hope to meet up soon and introduce my new girlfriend with my ex.(CARS- for anyone who may think the wrong thing.) Funny thing, both are just beautiful. You have a great car. Don't bother to look back just look ahead and enjoy!
