Hey everyone!

So I just returned from my first trip to California and I took the Universal Studios tour which was rather lackluster but for the moment when we were carted past famous t.v. cars and I was able to photograph the Ferrari! It was situated with a Magnum poster behind it and they played the theme song as you rode by it.

I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this display?

When I went to Universal Orlando about 4 years ago they had the same display. I seem to recall the Ferrari was filthy from all of the rain storms that pop up in the jungle type weather of Orlando, Florida and
definitely didn't look like one of the cars they actually used in the series.........

I haven't seen the display but I do agree with Steve.The studio car has black interior whereas the series car was tan.

Nice pick up on the interior. I wish we could get some verification as to where and when the display car came from.

Black interior? More like no interior. Those seats are plastic race car seat frames. Looks like the "car" was put together from aftermarket parts. Take a look at the vent on the hood. No way that's a real Ferrari hood. My guess is that these displays are just mock-ups.
