1997 FERRARI F355

Shooting Brake is delighted to be listing this highly desirable 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider, finished in elegant Le Mans Blue with a matching-coloured electric soft top over a grey/black leather interior. This example is a left-hand drive imported car from the US with a stint in Germany, showing 65,000 miles and backed by a very good service history, reflecting careful ownership and consistent maintenance. At the heart of the F355 lies Ferrari's celebrated 3.5-litre V8, producing one of the most iconic soundtracks of the era. This car takes that experience further with a sought-after Capristo exhaust system, amplifying the spine-tingling wail that has become synonymous with Ferrari's golden age. Coupled with the rare and engaging 6-speed manual gated gearbox, this Spider delivers an authentic, analogue driving experience that is increasingly coveted by collectors.

The Blue exterior presents very well indeed, complemented by the matching power-operated roof that functions as it should. Inside, the cream leather cabin offers a timeless contrast, showing only the lightest of patina consistent with age but remaining well-preserved. The F355 is often regarded as one of Ferrari's last truly classic designs, blending Pininfarina's styling finesse with compact proportions and exhilarating performance. With rising appreciation for manual, naturally aspirated Ferrari's, this Spider represents both a rewarding driver's car and a sound investment opportunity. Well-documented, well-maintained, and tastefully enhanced, this F355 Spider is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian - whether on spirited drives on your favourite B roads or as a perfect companion for any car meet up and down the country.
