The story of Blu Medio
Blu Medio is a 1980s Ferrari metallic: the 308-328.com code tables list it under Glasurit as FER506/C from 1983. Bonhams offered a 1990 348 TB, VIN ZFFFA35AXK0082673, at Quail Lodge in August 2017 as a special order in Blu Medio, or Medium Blue, over gray; the car was bought new in March 1990 at Monterey Jaguar/Rolls/Ferrari in Seaside, California, and kept by its first owner for 24 years. Supercar Nostalgia later showed the same chassis, 82673, with Grigio leather and blue carpet on offer at European Collectibles in Costa Mesa, and a 1986 328 GTB in Blu Medio Metallizzato with special-order Cartier red upholstery, first owned in Paris, at Autosport Designs on Long Island. ROSSOautomobili describes the shade as available only by special order.
