The 4 they had are described as Red, Dark Slate, Black and Indian Blue, but I have yet to see pictures.

 

where are they described like that? the list (posted a couple pages ago)? didn't they had 5 in garage 5?

 

Bull****!
I posted about it only in here and on ***************.com since that's where I found the pic I was looking for.

Give me a break, I'm sick and I wrote that at 1:30 AM.

Yeah. Maybe is a good word that I should use since I'm not 100% sure about the info I posses.
Chill.
And Pininfarina won't reveal nothing more than what was already said about these cars.

 

Good idea.

According to "the list", the Dauer 962 LM #008, chassis 962C-133, was in Brunei. It's the one finished in bare carbon fibre with yellow stripes, that is for sale in Germany since a while.
I thought you might want to know and add pics of it there too.
If you wish some on road shots etc. in higher resolution, send me a pm or something.

Anyone have an idea which 962LM received this green interior in its final state?

A friend worked in Brunei he was in charge of the Ferrari's, and he has a list of the Ferrari cars in Brunei with the color listed and they are described like that, he left most of his pictures in Brunei, he has only a couple one with a Black 456 Venice Cabriolet, and one with a Black FX and some of the Rolls Royce garages, where there are only black Flying Spur's.

 

That is the 962 LeMans in which they broke the 400 km/h limit and broke the record of the Mercedes C111.

Could you post those here maybe? That would be awesome.

 

speaking of the sultan, this was posted on autoblog today

Taken from, as mentioned above, http://www.*************


Oh and about that 288 GTO... there definately is a black/very deep blue one. I know cuz of seen it

 

I have been told that the FX's gearbox was really bad, as it was a pneumatic system so sometimes it would just not engage a gear, also the 550 Maranellos with Mercedes Automatic transmissions were bad at the beginning they would shake really hard as you went faster like at 70mph you could not drive the car.

 

Does anyone have the original of this picture, with the background on it?
