Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a 1999 Ferrari F355 F1. This example is a left-hand drive Californian import that was registered to the UK on 01/02/2020. Finished in the highly desirable Giallo Fly Yellow which is accentuated by a Black leather interior with Yellow stitching, a combination that sets the car off perfectly. Maintenance: This Ferrari has been pampered from new by Ferrari of Seattle during it’s time in the States and then by renowned Ferrari specialists, Shiltech, since its arrival in the UK. A recent timing belt service in July 2018, performed just 500 miles ago, a big job that will give the next owner piece of mind. Additional attention to the roof, gearbox, handbrake, and installation of a new timing sensor in 2022 ensure that this F355 remains in pristine, working condition. History: Delivered new by Ferrari North America’s esteemed agent, Grand Prix Motors Ltd, to its first owner in the State of Washington on June 16th, 1999. With only 25,861 miles on the clock, it stands as a desirable low mileage example – perfect for collectors. The comprehensive history file includes the complete original Ferrari book pack, complete with 6 stamps by Ferrari of Seattle, and catalogued invoices for work completed by Shiltech. The Model: As one of just 1,053 F355 Spiders fitted with the F1 transmission, this Ferrari embodies the rarity and performance that is usually associated with Ferrari. Introduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 represented a paradigm shift in Ferrari’s approach to engineering and design. Its robot-welded sheet steel monocoque, advanced suspension, and cutting-edge electronic damper system elevated the driving experience to new heights. The Spider variant, unveiled at the equally iconic May 1995 Monaco Grand Prix, offered a harmonious blend of exhilarating open-top motoring and structural integrity. Its production numbers, with 2,664 units featuring the 6-speed manual transmission and 1,053 with the F1 transmission, underscore its desirability among enthusiasts and collectors. Sale Insight: The Vendor describes as ‘excellent’ and judging by looks alone we would have to agree. Coupled with its rare specifications and documented maintenance history, this Ferrari presents a fantatsic proposition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking to own a rare and sought after model from the Ferrari marque. |
