1999 Ferrari 355 Spider

[three five five]

Totally original in Rosso with Crema interior. 6 Speed Manual. Electric hood. 21000 miles.
I bought it last year (November) and have been to as many classic and other car shows as I can get to.



I have just had the original wheel refurbished but am keeping the spare set that I bought on for the winter. Next job is to have the interior re-connolised. We cleaned up the 'sticky dash' last summer so the rest of the interior needs bringing up to scratch

As above /"- those stupid kit cars almost ruined these for me but as many of those kit cars are now gone these imho are on the up in terms of prices and are such lovely looking ferraris. Plus who can resist popup leadlights!

More details OP

Just beautiful, more pics!! Possibly the best sounding V8 ferrari of all time, too.

Agreed, every single time I see a 355 on the street I always think "is it an MR2?" Can't STAND those stty replicas...

I'm not usually a 355 fan but yours looks brilliant in Spider form. More pics please

Love the F355. Glorious in every way.

Mr Original Poster: you say the car is 'Totally original'. Does that mean it doesn't have the rear challenge grill?

I realised that a lot of the photos on my blog were a little outdated so I have revised it and added quite a few new shots of the car at various shows this year

I have also added a 'Ferrari Fettling' page here:

Cracking car.

Has the convertible top been reliable? I went in one of these ages ago and my mate said that the tops weren't that great, and then on the way home he sent me a message saying that it had broken!

One of the jobs I had to sort out ( although its not on my blog yet) was the hood. It needed a steel bush replacing and all the microswitches cleaning. Its been fine since...

ps - never try and force the roof down.
