    Hi guys. Just starting a TR search. Did Ferrari offer any interior options like colored stitching or piping or inserts on the TR. It seems that every single one I have seen all have solid color interiors. Thank You.

    yes
    the interior options were, do you want tan or black?

    maybe we can crema or red but for the most part tan or black

    nope the coloured thread / piping started in the 355 era

    You could get anything you wanted for an extra price but custom interiors were very rare.

    Special requests on dash colors was not terribly uncommon.

    One of the few custom interiors we delivered was Jose Cansecos car. The interior was all white including the dash. The windshield glare was so bad it was dangerous to drive.

    No stitching or piping on the Testarossa. I think you could only choose the colours of the seats, the carpets and the dashboard.

    Here is an interior in a 1992 512TR...supposedly came from the factory by special request.

    You really don't see that many custom interiors in the 80s TRs.

    Didn't Ferrari have a special wishes department in the 80s like Porsche where you could pretty much custom order anything, or did that come about in the 90s? A lot of 70s and 80s 911 Turbos have custom interiors, some of which were pretty outlandish or gaudy.

    Yes they did. We did a very few custom orders. In most cases buyers were talked out of it by a salesman who wanted to be able to resell the car easily. Custom interiors were very rare.

    Our sales manager once explained to me if you want an orange and purple car and I have a red/tan I can sell it to you. If I have an orange and purple car and you want red/tan no way were making a deal.

    Does anyone really think that the factory would make a car leave the factory looking like that ?

    I've seen worse.

    It's a big risk when you let people have anything they want.
