Description
Ferrari F355 Spider – 1996 – Manual Gearbox –
History
This 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider is a third-owner vehicle with a clear and particularly well-documented history. The first owner purchased the car new in Turin and kept it for 11 years. The second owner then took possession in 2007 and retained it for 9 years. The current owner has held the car for nearly ten years and has never hesitated to spend what was necessary for its maintenance and reliability.
The car has always been serviced by recognised marque specialists and at various Ferrari workshops. A very substantial file of invoices accompanies the car, attesting to serious and rigorous maintenance over many years. This Ferrari has always been in the hands of passionate owners who have respected and maintained it with great care.
It is supplied with all its original elements, including handbooks, service record, complete tool kit, spare keys, and a GPS tracker. A set of photographs detailing the engine restoration is also provided on USB stick.
Mechanical Condition
The mechanical condition of this Ferrari F355 Spider is excellent. The engine was completely rebuilt in 2019 at 80, 000 km by WDB Engineering, guaranteeing a sound and reliable mechanical base. A full service including the timing belt was carried out in November 2025 by BF Moteur, at 91, 478 km.
A particularly important point to highlight concerns the active suspension: the original plastic gears, known to be a weakness on F355s, have been replaced with metal gears, allowing complete and lasting reliability of the system.
In general, all known issues with the Ferrari F355 have been addressed by the current owner. Today, the car shows 92, 400 km and presents itself as a vehicle perfectly ready to take to the road and cover any distance.
Interior Condition
The interior is in very good overall condition given the age of the vehicle. The leather upholstery displays an attractive, even patina.
Slight wear is evident on the piping of the driver's seat backrest, as well as minor leather shrinkage on the dashboard, a well-known phenomenon on Ferraris of this generation. Apart from these elements, the cabin is very sound and all equipment functions perfectly, notably the electric seat adjustments.
The electric roof operates perfectly, with smooth mechanism and no malfunction, both when opening and closing.
Exterior Condition
The bodywork is in very good overall condition. A few light signs of use can be noted, consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle, without detracting from the overall presentation quality.
A Challenge grille accompanies the specification.
