EXTERIOR
The unmistakable Ferrari silhouette designed by Pininfarina of Turin is a fusion of styling and high performance function. Finished in iconic and desirable Rosso Corsa, (Code 322 D.S), the finish is stunning. A deep glossy shine is evident throughout thanks to perfect storage and very low mileage credentials and close scrutiny will reveal nothing more than some tiny stone chips to the frontal area and marks to the driver door mirror surround. All glass is factory fitment Sigla items with the Ferrari logo and the rear plastic screen and Black soft top is in excellent condition with no damage. All Cavallino Rampante badges are fitted and the optional recessed Scuderia Ferrari wing shields look amazing. This is the perfect Ferrari in so many ways.
INTERIOR

Minor creasing to the leather is a natural welcome sign with no wear and the Rossa carpets are spotless. The seats are fitted asymmetrically in the Ferrari 355 which results in the driver being slightly closer to the car's centerline than the passenger improving the driving feel and dynamics and all controls are ergonomically placed for maximum driver concentration. All switch gear operates perfectly and even the Ferrari plug-in torch is present in its rear holdall!

HISTORY FILE

The first visit in May 2000 to the supplying dealer followed by Lancaster Ferrari subsequently with the last visit being in July 2021 for a service and MOT at 14,781 miles. The vehicle has now covered just 15,019 warranted miles and all cambelt and servicing is within the recommended time schedule.
