Mid engined ferraris look best in red, front engined ferraris generally look better in colours other than red.

There are exceptions to every rule

The mind boggles at what will have turned up when you arrive to collect it
A Berlingo would be my guess.

I adore 50's and 60's colours.
That is the most gorgeous understated colour for a Ferrari. Think it is a misnomer. To me azzurro means this:



It was suggested that the Italian football team should wear a strip of a much lighter blue last year similar to that Fezza but it was vetoed. Azzurro equates with our azure which I thought meant sky blue but is actually derived from the word for lapis lazuli which is a very bright blue semi-precious stone.

It looks like something Dick Emery would drive
I reckon that's a Butlins colour
They must have had some paint left over from 1963 and flogged it to Fiat

Kitchens were that colour in the 60s. My MIL's was almost exactly the colour of that Ferrari complete with 'rosso' door handles. Her Esse (poor man's Aga) was finished in light blue enamel with 'rosso' handles also. We've still got it in the shed. Maybe the time is right to sell it?
