THE FERRARI F355

First presented to the motoring press in May 1994, the F355 effectively re-forged the reputation of Ferrari's V8 which, 328 and 348 notwithstanding, had suffered since the introduction of the Mondial 'world car'. The latter, with its four seats, well-appointed interior, and - relatively - soft ride, was considered far too sensible to be a 'proper' Ferrari; the F355 though, was cast in the mold of that great driver's car, the Dino 246 GT. The heart of the F355 though, was its phenomenal 3.5-liter V8 engine. Equipped with four overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder - a layout borrowed from Ferrari's Formula 1 engine - this remarkable unit produced a claimed 375bhp.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Completed at the Ferrari factory as a US-market example in November of 1995, this stunning F355 Spider was equipped with the desirable, 6-speed manual transmission, and finished as it appears today, in Giallo Modena over a black leather interior. The Ferrari was originally sold new in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, and is believed to have had just 3 US-based owners since new, while travelling less than 5,500 miles.

Remaining in largely original condition, this example presents magnificently well throughout. The interior has been preserved extremely well while the engine compartment appears in equally good condition. This example has received an exterior repaint of very high quality, on its clean, 'no frills' Pininfarina-designed bodywork. The CARFAX indicates maintenance at regular service intervals throughout the vehicle's early life, although no service records are currently available. The car has been described to be running and driving very well with the A/C in full functioning order.

A very clean and tidy Ferrari F355, this Ferrari is just like the yellow example driven hard by Nicolas Cage in the movie The Rock. Factory delivered in a desirable color combination with incredibly low mileage and a manual transmission, this F355 is a highly collectible example. Included in the sale is a tool kit and owner's manual.
