Unusual coloured Daytona

Yikes!

 

I seem to remember a purple Daytona coupe for sale in Holland years ago. It was a coupe listed as a 1974 model with a serial number in the 17,000 range.

The car pictured below is chassis number 13607. It was one of the original RHD UK cars, however, I do not know if this is its original color or a repaint. It has been seen in this color since at least 1997.

According to my factory color charts it's a Glasiruit color called "purplus horribils".

 

LOL

Around nine 365 GTB/4 in this colour from new.

I love it! Really, I do....

 

It is still a daytona!

 

I love Ferraris in, um............., "unexpected" colors.

There is an early Dino 206GT in this same color. Apparently, it was an original color option.

Check it out - it's for sale.

Another pic of this car. Much more interesting than a boring Rosso Corsa respray!

why unusual?, it looks great on it. you ve got near the same color for the movie "gunball" something like this..

 

Ha! Wasn't wishing to be insulting to anyone (as I'm sure you appreciate). Just meant vive la difference! And nice to see a car that has escaped the "all Ferraris must be red" nonsense.

Must say it makes a much different impression than from Daytonafan's photos... much better Would like to see it IRL to decide.

 

IIRC, purple was Dino's favourite color, which would explain the name "viola dino metallizzato"

 

I wrestle with the exact same thing. My Daytona was originally Dino Blue which is a fantastic color, my very favorite Ferrari color (I had a 308GTB that color) but the paint on my Daytona is too good to justify a repaint.

10523 (the 206, not pinifarina prototype) wasi/is this color.

it is a color that was available and is in the paint swatch books that show more than just the 8-9 "common" colors

 

Original color of 13607 is Viola Dino Metallizzato 106-A-71 with Nero 8500 leather interior.

I heard it was Enzo's favourite colour, any truth to that rumour?
Thx mate

 

I read that too, but only once, and I don't know where (might even have been here), whereas I heard several times that it was Dino's favourite color. But I can't quote any reliable sources, maybe one of the experts around here can help. Perhaps it was the favourite color of Enzo as well as of Dino

 

not that this means much, but i have never heard or read anything about enzo or dino's favorite numbers. i would assume the genisis for these conversation would derive from the fact that enzo used "purple" ink. i don't think he used "purple ink, the signature's i have seen are in indelible ink. indelible ink does have a blue-purple color and is used as it can't be removed or destroyed. it isn't so much that is has dissappeared in today's world, but it isn't as common as it was back in the day, especially for legal documents.
