1999 Ferrari 355 F1 Spider - LHD - One Owner - 2,159 miles

KEY FACTS

• This Ferrari F355 Spider F1 is an iconic modern classic supercar, which has just one registered keeper from new, with exceptionally low mileage.
• It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V8, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed F1 automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
• This left-hand-drive example is understood to have been supplied new via Garage Francorchamps in Belgium, to a UK citizen who was then working there. He subsequently brought the car back to the UK with him in 2002, and it was re-registered with the DVLA in 2004.. It has had only this one registered keeper from new, and is now offered by the trade.
• Ferrari documented a replacement of the original kilometre-readout instrument in 2004 at 913 km (567 miles). The current odometer indicates 1,592 miles, and the total is therefore understood to be just 2,159 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car is finished in Blu Pozzi over a Crema leather-trimmed cabin.
• It features an electrically operated folding soft top, air conditioning, electric windows, and Ferrari-branded instrumentation.
• The car is accompanied by a service history file and numerous maintenance invoices.

SUMMARY

This Ferrari 355 F1 Spider combines one of Maranello’s most celebrated modern-classic designs with a high-revving naturally aspirated V8 and an early-generation paddle-shift transmission. Its Blu Pozzi and Crema colour scheme, remarkably low mileage, and recent timing belt service make it a particularly appealing example. It would make a compelling addition to a collection of analogue-era supercars, as well as an evocative companion for fair-weather touring and special weekend drives.
