1998 Ferrari 355 Spider
Coachwork by Pininfarina
Chassis no. 109979

• Highly desirable shade of Giallo Fly
• Recently serviced in 2026
• Rare manual transmission

Delivered new in 1998 by Kroymans of Eindhoven to a Spanish company based in Fuengirola, this desirable manual-transmission Ferrari 355 Spider benefits from long-term early ownership and a well-documented maintenance history. Its first recorded service was carried out by Graypaul in London, after which the car spent most of its life in Spain, a favourable climate reflected in its notably well-preserved overall condition. The accompanying service book contains a comprehensive record of maintenance stamps.

Remaining with its original owner until 2013 and showing approximately 66,000 kilometres at the time of sale, the car was subsequently acquired by its second owner and relocated to Germany. Shortly thereafter, at 69,074 kilometres, the cam belts were replaced and the cylinder heads overhauled. Further maintenance in 2021 at 69,444 kilometres included another cam belt service together with attention to the air-conditioning and steering systems. The car has since been serviced twice more and has consistently passed German TÜV inspections and just recently in March 2026 it had its last large service

Since its arrival in Germany the Ferrari has covered only some 3,000 kilometres, remaining carefully maintained throughout. Finished in the striking and highly desirable shade of Giallo Fly, this open-top V8 Ferrari presents an appealing opportunity to acquire a characterful and increasingly collectible example of the celebrated F355 Spider, offered ready for immediate enjoyment by its next enthusiastic custodian.

1998 Ferrari 355 Spider
N° de châssis : 109979

• Teinte Giallo Fly très recherchée
• Révision récente effectuée en 2026
• Rare boîte de vitesses manuelle

Livrée neuve en 1998 par Kroymans d'Eindhoven à une société espagnole basée à Fuengirola, cette Ferrari 355 Spider à boîte manuelle très recherchée a bénéficié d'un premier propriétaire de longue date et d'un historique d'entretien bien documenté. Son premier entretien enregistré a été effectué par Graypaul à Londres, après quoi la voiture a passé la majeure partie de sa vie en Espagne, un climat favorable qui se reflète dans son état général remarquablement bien préservé. Le carnet d'entretien joint contient un historique complet des tampons d'entretien.

Restée chez son propriétaire d'origine jusqu'en 2013 et affichant environ 66 000 kilomètres au moment de la vente, la voiture a ensuite été acquise par son deuxième propriétaire et transférée en Allemagne. Peu après, à 69 074 kilomètres, les courroies de distribution ont été remplacées et les culasses révisées. Un entretien supplémentaire en 2021, à 69 444 kilomètres, a compris un autre remplacement des courroies de distribution ainsi qu'une révision des systèmes de climatisation et de direction. La voiture a depuis subi deux autres entretiens et a toujours passé avec succès les contrôles techniques allemands (TÜV). Et tout récemment, en mars 2026, elle a fait l'objet de sa dernière révision complète.

Depuis son arrivée en Allemagne, cette Ferrari n'a parcouru qu'environ 3 000 kilomètres et a toujours fait l'objet d'un entretien minutieux. Revêtue de la teinte Giallo Fly, à la fois saisissante et très recherchée, cette Ferrari V8 décapotable offre une occasion unique d'acquérir un exemplaire plein de caractère et de plus en plus recherché de la célèbre F355 Spider, prête à être appréciée sans attendre par son prochain propriétaire passionné.
