Hello -- am seriously considering a switch into an F355 - love the black on tan combo and wondered whether anybody knew this 1997 one on sale at a main dealer:

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/510600.htm its had five owners - wonder if any are PH'ers....

Many thanks!

I don't know the car im afraid, but it is a really nice combination, price seems a bit steep though!Im after a black 355, im trying to find out if they were made in both metallic and solid black....

They've had that a while. I saw it in the showroom a couple of months back, looks great, but looks way over priced to me for a 97 car.

Thanks! I figured they've added the main dealer showroom premium. What in your opinion is the right price to offer them?

If those are the option carbon seats they were a £4000 option.

Mine had those, Lancaster's didn't seem keen on paying extra when i sold it to them.

looks nice. Seats work really well but as suggested I do wonder if overpriced? have a look at Carlo's website - TopGear cars...he has one at 10k less than that in black but not with the seats. Don't know anything about it though.

- does have twice the milage too though... I must admit I do like the carbon racing seats and wasn't aware they were a such an expensive option... mmm... wonder if they'll listen to an outrageous offer...

Thanks all!

I can pretty much confirm its the same car, i was offered it for £32k last week, but missed out due to work!!

There's another black 355 on Pistonheads, a GTS, very low miles and one owner, it looks almost grey in the pics though, i would put a link up, but don't know how...
