One to Buy: 1 owner 13,000km 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta
/
Although the Ferrari 348 ranked among the best looking vehicles of its generation, razor sharp on-limit handling meant the car’s ultimate performance was difficult to unlock for mere mortals.
After a little less than five years in production, Ferrari replaced the 348 with a heavily revised new model: the F355.
With all the 348’s foibles addressed, the critically acclaimed F355 re-established Ferrari at the top of the junior supercar market, a position it held throughout the new machine’s 1994 to ‘99 lifespan.
Initially available in fixed head Berlinetta and targa-topped GTS trim, a drop head Spider joined the fray in 1995, Meanwhile, customers could personalise their new machine with a far greater array of optional extras than seen on previous models.
Set to go under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s St. Moritz sale on September 16th is one of the most desirably configured F355s around: chassis 101231.
Specified in the stunning colour combination of Argento with Nero upholstery, chassis 101231 was ordered at Ferrari Switzerland by its one and only custodian on May 3rd 1995. Since then, it has accumulated a little over 13,000km and remains in superb original condition throughout.
As a desirable manual transmission Berlinetta variant of arguably Ferrari’s most highly regarded V8 model, this superbly equipped F355 would make an ideal addition to practically any collection of Maranello’s finest.
