One to Buy: 1 of 8 in RHD 1993 Ferrari 348 GT Competizione
/
To celebrate Oscar Larrauri’s victory with a Michelotto-prepared 348 in the GT2 division of the 1993 Italian GT Championship, Ferrari produced a limited run of 50 high performance specials based on the 348 GTB.
Announced in December 1993, the resultant 348 GT Competizione was the last and ultimate road-going iteration of the 348. It featured an array of special parts to include 18-inch split-rim Speedline wheels, updated suspension geometry, a free-flow exhaust, carbon-Kevlar door assemblies and bumpers, F40-style racing seats with four-point Sabelt harnesses, thinner footwell carpet, carbon-Kevlar sill panel covers and a unique numbered steering wheel.
Only one colour scheme was offered: Rosso Corsa with Rosso seats and Nero carpet.
Of the 50 348 GT Competiziones constructed, just eight were right-hand drive, one of which is currently residing in DK Engineering’s Hertfordshire showroom.
This particular example was supplied through Ferrari main dealer JCT600 and registered to its first owner in February 1995. It was a frequent attendee at Ferrari Owners Club concours between 2005 and 2011 when the fourth owner contested around 70 competitions.
Today the car is showing around 53,000 miles and is offered in superb original condition having recently undergone a major service with JCT600.
