I'm looking for the wisdom of the collective....

I believe the last X amount (possibly 100?) 355's came with the Fiorano handling package.

Is there a way of checking if a car is one of these last cars?

Was the Fiorano pack ever retro fitted or fitted as an option, how can you tell if it has the pack fitted?

Thanks,

Chris.

Thanks Johnny / Jonty,

Not relevant any more, I put a deposit down today on a 355 F1 Spider (different car non Fiorano), 3-4 weeks before its ready for collection, it's going to be a long wait. Hopefully some better weather coming!

Cheers,

Chris.

Thanks folks,

Jonty, I know your meaning about cars you can't part with, Iv'e had my TVR 24 years this year!

Bob, Red with cream leather and black carpets, from The Supercar Rooms.

355SG, Great info, the original one in question is at a dealer in Essex, Fiorano pack, drilled discs... it's a 99 F1 Spider, if it is what it's claimed (I have no reason to believe otherwise) then it's a great buy for someone, I was just put off by reading the advert and advertised price, then to be told if I wanted in the condition of the advert add 5K to the advertised price! Seemed odd, and I lost confidence.

Anyway very much looking forward to collecting the car.

Thanks again,

Chris.

Collected the car on Saturday, three months later than promised!!!

A terrific occasion and unbelievably smooth drive, I had reservations about the F1 gearbox, but can only say its utterly fantastic, so good.

Not quite as good as some of the attention it attracts! 15 mins into the journey home I was sorted out by an Audi A6 with hidden flashy blue lights! Speeding in a 70, lady plod was great, quick slap to the back of the legs and told to behave, plod commented 'lovely car'. TBH reactions from public have been very positive.

Roll on next weekend.....

Regards,

Chris.

Photo's please! I do love a 355!
No decent pictures yet, was too busy driving it over the weekend, here's a couple, but they aren't very good.

Little lad loves it 'it's red and not got a roof'...




Back in its bed until next weekend...




Will try to get some better pictures at the weekend.

Regards,

Chris.
