The TR is aluminum as well; they just used steel for the roof skin and doors, for safety.
Regardless, a Boxer was more a piece of art, still with individual differences from one example to the next in the manner of the Ferraris of the past, and a TR was what I think was the first really modern car Ferrari had built, built in large numbers and mostly the same from one to the next.

true. the boxer was THE LAST hand build Ferrari w/ the bodies being hammered in the scaglietti carrozeria. as a hand made machine, no two boxer clamshells are alike...I guess that is part of the charm of owning a hand made car
