Offered here is an extremely well preserved, left-hand drive, Ferrari F355 GTB – manual delivered new to Germany in April 1996. It’s superbly finished in Rosso Corsa paintwork with Charcoal leather seats with Rosso inserts and Rosso carpets. First registered in the UK in 1997, this spectacular F355 has been owned since 1997 by its enthusiast UK owner and has clearly been his pride and joy. Both stamps in the original Ferrari service book and supporting paper invoices indicate this example continued to be enjoyed and maintained in both Germany and the UK with Ferrari main agent services along with UK specialists.

As you might expect from 24 years of caring single ownership, the condition of this example is remarkable. The Rosso Corsa paintwork is even across the stylish Pininfarina bodywork and retains a glorious deep gloss. Panel gaps are even and there are no obvious signs of damage, poor repairs or corrosion. The cabin space feels clean and the rarely optioned Charcoal leather interior trim presents virtually unmarked.

Accompanied by a detailed history file including the original Ferrari book-pack with the aforementioned service book stamped up-to-date. The maintenance record is supported by paper invoices from Ferrari main agents and specialist garages. Also included is a current V5c and the previous German registration papers and also forming part of the sale is the tool kit and a spare key with both red and black alarm fobs. For the new owner’s peace of mind, this fabulous example will be offered freshly serviced with cam-belts replaced at a Ferrari main agent with a new MOT ready to be enjoyed this summer.

Today, the F355 is a fantastic 'modern classic' Ferrari with timeless styling including the beautifully sculpted vents in the doors, classic Ferrari round tail-lights and, of course, pop-up headlamps. It's hugely engaging to drive, particularly when fitted with the manual gearbox, and the V8 on full song sounds like an F1 car and is simply addictive. As such, fine examples of the F355 are highly desirable and should form part of any classic car collection. This example has clearly been loved and looked after over the years and we hope will continue to be in the hands of its lucky new owner.
