    Can someone tell me if this interior looks factory original? It is the first time I see tan/beige racing seats in a car with black door panels and a black lower dash. Usually the door panels and lower dash match the seat colour.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Same weird deal with the rental car 575 SA.
    Dark carbon seats that don’t look “correct”.

    I don’t know but I love that look. I like tan seats but not carpet and dash. When it’s all tan the different materials fade differently over time and starts to look sloppy IMHO.

    After about 2007, there was much more flexibility in custom ordering from the factory when the Scaglietti options became available. You really cannot tell if original without a build sheet. A Ferrari dealership may be able to print one for you.

    Thanks for the input. Meanwhile I have obtained a build sheet and the colour combo is indeed original. Does someone know what it would entail to replace the racing seats with a pair of regular ones? Is it a simple bolt-on swap, with plug in wiring, or am I just too optimistic?

    Simple swap and there are likely dozens of owners who would like to swap with you. Those seats are very expensive and hard to find.
