    Specs look like a standard F12 engine.

    Engine on the F60 is a true F12tdf engine - see the VIN engine digits on both F60 and F12tdf. But other technical stuff such as the chassis, axles, trains etc... are they berlinetta or tdf? (No worries if you don’t know, I was just wondering about this model after you mentioned what’s under the 599s).

    Yes, I see that now. Looked at the wrong source, apparently. Same good source quoted the chassis was F12, but the engine was TDF, so sounds similar to the SA Aperta. As you can tell, I do not track anything newer than the 599.

    @Taz, thanks for your research and reply!
    From what I could read on various threads, yes you seem to be highly documented on « older » models, much more than recent ones - hey, we can’t know everything

    Sure indeed you’re right, Blu Avio is a shade... of blue!
    I don’t know why I was mixing with Bianco Avorio (avio...avorio... different words but that mixed up in my head haha).
    Thanks for the info

    Would be curious to know then the shade of white name that was used for this stripe on the Blu Avio SA Aperta.

    I’m not a big fan of the black details on this kind of car, but I have to admit the black pillars on this car with this Grigio shade fit the lines of the car very well! It makes it sporty but doesn’t overstep its classy and elegant lines.

    Yes the SA Aperta has been released in both LHD and RHD version. They are approx 10 RHD cars, with UK specs - none of the RHD cars have Australian specs.

    Always a pleasure!

    Of course they have/had some :)
    https://www.dkeng.co.uk/search.php?search=Sa+Aperta+599

    They mention 8 RHD UK examples; the few more RHD ones were supplied to other RHD countries.

    I feel one was enough... Though I'll admit I prefer this spec to the one with the chocolate interior.

    Not sure, but looks Iroko to me.

    On review, I think my dislike of that spec has less to do with the interior and more to do with the black wheels... No quicker way to ruin an otherwise elegant color combo.
