Ferrari 400 Schedoni suitcases

By surprise I stumbled upon this item again. As per blog:

http://erwin400.blogspot.nl/2016/10/ferrari-400i-schedoni-luggage-suitcase.html

Something triggered me today and I hit this FChat thread:

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328-sponsored-yellow-compass-group/463302-s-schedoni-luggage-set-16.html

If you will read through it you will see someone bought this set from the Dutch reseller. Apparently he had an extra matching large bag making it a complete set. Wow!

How cool is that! I also learned now these are Cuoio Designer branded.

As you will see and read in the thread he's quite a collector and also has the clothing luggage with the same print as used on the document wallet which came standard with the car. But as far as I'm aware this set is not complete as I have seen also a briefcase and a suit folding bag in the same style.

Car Styling No 17 1977 Quarterly Winter - Ferrari 400 Automatic

I also got ahold of this edition which was a little dissapointing as the "article" about the Ferrari 400 was very generic. Especially in comparison with the other magazine content. The first page had an interesting photo of a car show but in very poor quality.  So just for the records:

Car Styling Quarterly Nr 12 - Pininfarina special - PROVA TO723

I got ahold of this very nice Pininfarina edition by Car Styling.

It's a Japanese quarterly magazine which is still in business today: https://www.carstylingmag.com/ 
It's printed bi-lingual, in Japanese and in English. It's a bit similar as the Italian Style Auto Quarterly magazine (see blog http://erwin400.blogspot.nl/2015/09/ferrari-365gt4-22-style-auto.html)

In any case, this edition had only this small piece of information on the 365GT4 2+2 but with a very unique photo:

It's the PROVA model. It's also printed in the following book, see blog:

http://erwin400.blogspot.nl/2016/05/book-ferrari-legend-road-cars-by.html

Maybe taken at the same location but from a different angle:

Another photo I have in my archive:

It's the same car also being used for some official press photo's
