    Hello,
    I miss “Verde Germoglio”, some Dino`s are painted in that colour, but anyhow, a very good side,
    thank you .

    There is also a beautiful shade of green on a 1963 Ferrari 400 Superamerica. If I am not mistaken the color is Verde Bottiglia 16.364. Pictures of the car can be found easily on the web.

    Verde Tevere?


  • Włodek

    Hi,

    i think the verde scuro had 2 shades. The one from the Dino and later on Testarossa/348. You can see it on red-headed.com.

    PS. Zeltweg was the airport, but later there was bulit a race track nearby. And since 1970 there are races there since. It was called Zeltweg, Oesterreichring, A1Ring, RedBullRing, Spielberg. But in Austria they call it all the time traditionally Zeltweg.
