About Nuovo Blu Pozzi

The story of Nuovo Blu Pozzi
Nuovo Blu Pozzi is the later version of Blu Pozzi, the dark blue named for the Paris importer Charles Pozzi (1909–2001), who, Wikipedia records, started one World Championship Grand Prix in 1950. Carpaints.co lists it under PPG code 520, against 521 for the original, and says there is no noticeable visual difference between the two. RM Sotheby's cataloged a 2005 Superamerica, chassis 145112, as finished in Nuovo Blu Pozzi over Beige when it sold at the Ferrari — Leggenda e Passione sale in Maranello in 2017. A 2014 F12berlinetta delivered in July 2014 by Ferrari Munsterhuis Sportscars in Hengelo was also specified in Nuovo Blu Pozzi, with the paint carried onto the lower front, side skirts and rear diffuser and the wheel center caps.
