1997 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

History:

During the late 1960s came the first baby Ferrari in a long line of illustrious entry-level models, the mid-engined Dino.

Evolving into the V-8–engined 308 by 1975, 328s and 348s continued the baby Ferrari’s reputation for pretty design and spirited performance.

Unfortunately the 348 did not appeal to the the Ferraristi. It was the time when Honda launched the NSX and the international motoring press compared the two cars finding the Honda much more superior then the 348.

Luca Di Montezemolo, the then president of Ferrari S.P.A. demanded for a better car, more useable and with the right performance but combined with daily use reliability. The 355 was born.

Today the 355 Berlinetta is considered by many, one of the most beautiful collectible Ferraris of all time.

OUR CAR:

Our car was delivered new by Garage Foitek Switzerland to its first owner in 1997.

Finished in timeless Rosso Corsa and paired with beautiful beige Connolly leather interior, this F355 has spent its entire life in Central Europe, belonging to three owners until the last, an American collector who has owned it for the past two years. The car is registered in the United States and boasts 73,000 km fully documented.

A car with an impressive history, it has always been regularly serviced at official Ferrari workshops and by specialists in the field. Completely accident-free, it is in exceptional condition—truly remarkable given its mileage—and has recently undergone a major service that included the replacement of the timing belts, the refurbishment of the valve guides, and the clutch. It is therefore ready to welcome its next passionate owner.

The car comes complete with all original tools and on-board documentation.

A leakdown and compression test are also available along with a massive file of invoices.
