To me almost all colors look great on the 355.

I'd have to say, however, that my choices would be red/tan first, black/tan 2nd, and 4 years ago at Concorso there was a green/tan spider owned by a woman in S.F. that was absolutely stunning.

I never saw that combo before and have never again.

Now a friend is buying a Pozzi/cuoio 355 spider which is incredibly stunning.

That is a color combo to see.

It's the only known Pozzi 355 in the world!
 
---My own car is in the original Alfa Romeo/Ferrari Red. Its called Rosso Barchetta and its the colour that Enzo painted his first racing and also road car. ---
It was just after this when Marlboro cigarettes came in as a sponsor to Ferrari's race team and then Ferrari changed the red to match the Marboro red which is now known as Rosso Corsa.
 
There are 5 on www.f355registry.com.



Well, there's at least a couple of Scuderias in that colour. Several of the press vehicles in the tests I've seen were Azzurro California. I also seem to remember that the Fifth Gear 430 spider (the one in their commercial break snippet) is Azzurro California. It certainly is a light metallic blue. ---
Those 430's and Scuderia's were not Azzuro.

That blue was a new derivative of Azzuro but it has a different name, and I forgot what it is called.

There is also Mirabeau that was sprayed on one or two 360's in 2002 that looks like Azzuro as well. That color I have personally seen.

The promo California is Azzuro.

In the 2006 into of the 599 at Pebble I inquired about Azzuro and I was told that color was not planned for the 599.

So I doubt any 599's were yet sprayed in Azzuro.
 
That Scuderia is not Azzuro.

And so you know, Azzuro is a special formulation mixed for Enzo after his first visit to Monterey, CA, in the late 50's.

So while the term refers to "blue" it is it's own color.

And I am referring to Azzuro California and I speak from personal knowledge!
 
As I stated, there are different blues but there is only one Azzuro California!

The Scuderia is blue medio metallico

Pozzi blue is one of the very few non-metallic colors and it is beautiful.

It needs a tan or cuoio interior to really shine.
 
I thought it was due to you driving the Oscar Meyer hot dog WeinerMobile!!

There is such a thing.

See below.

Everey year they hold a contest for the driver for that year.

In 2008 1,600 people applied for the job!

I guess for those who did not the situation bit a big one!!!
