    yes, the 365/400 and 412 did have a Momo wheel as OE...so did the Series 2 400i's...
    but the Series 1 400i's (or every one I've ever seen ) had the split spoke Nardi.

    My 1980 Series 1 has a solid-spoke Momo!

    I think the Nardis are only on 81-82 cars.

    Yep, same as mine. ( and, I think, the better looking option)
    I can't really see the rubber on your brake pedal. (I would be interested in assessing the wear to get an idea of my car's mileage)
    So if you can, a close-up of the rubber on the right lower corner? S'il vous plais.

    I think this is a similar story to the metric vs imperial wheels discussion we had month or two ago. Seems like Ferrari - generally, but especially in the 1979-1981 period - put onto their production cars whichever parts they had available...
    Makes all these cars unique!

    Is it worth it to start one "What Steering Wheel is in Your 365/400/412? & everyone post a pic to document each car :confused:

    This happened this past weekend. I'm getting gas in mine and a lady walks by me and says, "Nice car. Bet you wish it was real." I looked at her and asked, "How did you know?" I swear she said, "Everybody knows all real Ferrari's are red." I just shrugged and said, "Yep, you got me."

    Did you accidentally spill gas on her and drop a lighted match?

    No I was in one of my rare good moods so I just laughed to myself and figured I had a good story to tell all you guys.

    Thanks. After looking at all those dash photos it seems that tan is a rather rare option for the dash. I've never seen another 400i with an all tan interior. You?

    Notice that two of those cars (probably 1981-1982 series I cars) have Nardi wheels.

    I noticed that myself this morning. Looks like I might be changing my stance on the issue.
