Default Correct colour for 365 GT 2+2

Hello,
Is anyone able to assist me with the original colour my car was delivered with? it is chassis number 13877, English delivered and first registered in March 1971. It is currently rossa corsa, I am told it was orginially blue, but, which blue?
Many thanks

Since it was delivered through Maranello Concessionaires, it is quite likely to have been Dino Blu. Ronnie Hoare seems to have really sold that colour to his customers in the early '70ies (my 365 GT4/BB was that colour also). But this is speculation, of course.

Per the article in FLQ 9 http://www.ferrarilife.com/flq/flq.php

suggest you contact Tony Willis at Ferrari GB (pm me or JTremlett if you want his email). Tony will likely have the original build sheet.

Your car was originally Blu Tourbillon. I agree with Boxer, though, I strongly recommend you e-mail Tony Willis and he can provide you with copies of Maranello Concessionaires records for your car.
