Not a particularly good ad, but the car looks interesting with a 355 lookalike body and 360 rims.
Is it a repaired car or is it some kind of aftermarket body kit?

Wonder what the mileage is and if the service history backs it up?

Unless you got it cheap could be a bit of a dodgy one to sell on with regards to the body conversion etc- just my opinion tho

MR2 comes to mind... Can't speak for everyone, but if I see a 355 that doesn't look quite right, I instantly call it as an MR2.

i know the guy that owns this car .as far as i know he wanted a 355 ,but didnt have the money for one at the time so went for 348 and change the look.great guy has lots of cars and god does he like to talk cars so give him a call .

I'm sure the guy that owns that is a PHer. Im sure Ive spoken to him before on here. Seems a nice bloke. And its suprising how well that car looks apart from the rear grill doean't quite fit right.

Nice car, but deffinately will have de-valued it by changing the body panels. Would be worth more if he stuck the originals back on in my opinion.

Yep, I agree with the above. It doesn't quite look right as it's not got the 355's little duck-tail above the rear panel. IMHO, I can see why someone might change the wheels to 355, possibly even the front bumper at a push, but removing the slatted side vents and tail light arrangement is a big mistake. If it were mine, I'd definitely return it to 348 style and quickly!

In a few years time when values start rising, originality will be a deciding factor for many - bit like pre-73 911's, one's that (a few years ago) were changed to look like a 964 or whatever, are worth peanuts, but original one's with the chrome trim, etc, are now climbing into big money.

IMHO, if something isn't broke, don't fix it....... Why the need to change what was a lovely car in the first place.

Those 360 split rim wheels are pretty pricey.

I think its been for sale for a good few months. Having seen the car I first thought it was a real 355 apart from something did not seem right. Looked much better than the replicas that you see around the area.

Hello all the car is mine,the reason I left the rear of the body without the lip is so the car can be coverted back to a 348.It was down to personal choice that I have done what I have.It would take about 3 hours to convert back as I made all of the electrical connections of the new parts compatible with the 348. A simple unplug and unscrew operation.
