"The car does not come with the optional red guide"

Mine does, look again? It has both a spare black and the red.

I have the digital version and there is no red guide.

There is one spare black guide, two braids, one warranty card, one red/white pitstop flier, and a whopping three copies of the digital D132 manual that comes with their cars.

Either the red guide is an analog only release, or the new guy was responsible for packaging mine. That would be quite unfortunate if digital cars do not come with that red guide.

That photo is actually a 330 P2- same body as the 365, slightly smaller engine.

Fun and useless fact- The car that Carrera modeled, NART chassis 0838, actually started off life as a 330 P2 before becoming a 365.

Another useless and interesting fact- Jochen Rindt was contracted to drive at Le Mans by NART in 1965, but was irate that he was given a 250 LM to drive instead of the 365 P2. The 365 developed clutch problems (which happened a lot to cars driven by Pedro Rodriguez) and sat in the pits for an hour while it was attended to. Attrition took its toll on the Fords and factory Ferraris, and the 250 LM driven by Rindt and Masten Gregory somehow wound up winning the race. Slow and steady, as they say...

I can see the logic behind the digital not including it though.

If you want mine you are welcome to it.

Thanks also for taking the time and effort to report your findings. I for one appreciate this effort and it made my day.

Rob, that is the photo I used for reference.
