F355 Luggage space

[Zed3]

Anyone got any snaps of the under bonnet (boot!) space in a 355??

Much appreciated,

Rupert

I possibly have somewhere,

What do you want know about it?

You can get a surprising amount in it, and also behind the seats.

Could you get enough for a week away (without formal suits etc),

a picture would be great as speaks a thousand words

Sorry about name change - felt I needed to show some more commitment to the car!!

Easily! I did a week in Bavaria and I never travel light.

As previously mentioned though, be sure to buy 'squashy cases'. The boot really is deep enough to cram a lot in. Sorry, no pictures here either although I still have access to my previously owned car so if nobody comes up with a photo by next week I'll see what I can do.

Depends how much stuff you take on a week away, but...

I lived out of the car for 3.5mths on the road in Europe.

So yes, even if you live with Imelda Marcos it should be posssible.

I'll try and dig out some photos of the boot, but I've had a quick scan and most seem to be of the outside of the car

I've just been looking through my photos and can't find a good one, They;re all a black hole with black carpet around them so you can't get any perception of volume.

Why not log on to www.autotrader.co.uk and find your closest one for sale and go round with your tape measure.

Don't take a set of golf clubs, you'll be disappointed. Golf's a game for men who don't drive Ferraris.

But you can fit a couple of shotguns and 3000 cartridges (also helps keep the front end down)

Mine's a 348 but I think a similar shape and size.

We just did Le Mans and took bag of clothes each, airbeds, tent, 2 folding chairs, big winter coats (my mate thought we were going to the other Le Mans in Siberia I think) cameras, a fairly substantial tool kit, window leather and a bottle of rain X

We had to put the tent up and unpack the car before we could go to the supermarket for 3 crates of beer, 2 disposable bbqs, 5 bottles of wine, grenache etc and a massive bottle of water, plus some food (burgers steaks, soswidges, great long bits of bread), all of which fit with ease.

You can also get fitted luggage for the Fezzas but I'd wager it wouldn't be cheap.

thanks guys - don't play golf just tennis and should easily fit the raquets in!!
Sounds like plenty of room up front.........any pics would be great but don't bust a gut as it were, I'll have to stitch you up!!

Talking of 355 luggage space, i have only this afternoon bought a 5 piece Ferrari 348/355 Schedoni luggage set for my 355 from the US. Wasn't cheep but hey
Anyways when i went to Le Mans last month, here is what i took in my 355 boot. Two large hold alls and one 3 man tent as well as two sleeping bags, blanket and a 5 liter bottle of water. I left the tent in the skip on the site when my son and i left, due to us buying a load of sh1t including that large over priced Ferrari racing boat model that was in one of the Ferrari shops on the circuit

May be its because like my self, people are just thinking.......why not just click onto Ebay and have a look at cars for sale pictures and the boot/trunk shots Hey Presto!!!!!


EDIT: There seems to be a problem posting pics of this thread so here is a link to an ebay car for sale, there are also many many others with boot shots.
