Needless to say, the F355 was an exceptional performer, 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds and a 185mph top speed having been a quantum leap on the 348.

During the late 1960's came the first baby Ferrari in a long line of illustrious entry level models, the mid engined Dino. Evolving into the V8-engined 308 by 1975, 328's and 348's continued the baby Ferrari's reputation for pretty design and spirited performance.

F355's were the fifth incarnations and from May 1994, offered as either a fixed head Berlinetta or targa-topped GTS. These were joined by a Spider 12 months later while from 1997. The F355's task was to be faster and easier to handle on the limit, the latter having been a regular bone of contention with 348 road testers. There was a new electronic damper control system that fed information on road speed, brake pressure, suspension loadings and steering into a computer that decided exactly how firm the dampers needed to be. Derived from lessons learnt with active suspension, the F355 system worked even better than the McLaren F1's and was accompanied by full underbody aerodynamics. This radically improved airflow beneath the car and increased stability at high speeds. Also very impressive was a new engine that could boast the highest output of any normally aspirated road car unit in history to that date, output was 380bhp at 8250rpm. Needless to say, the F355 was an exceptional performer, 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds and a 185mph top speed having been a quantum leap on the 348. Launched at the Geneva Salon during May 1994, the F355 caused a sensation and orders came flooding in. Production continued with just a couple of minor alterations being made to the engine management and exhaust system until 2000.

This example was supplied by MHT of North Leach in January 1998 to its first owner in Hampshire. The car is presented in Rosso Corsa with a tan leather interior and rare black carpets throughout and most importantly is equipped with the preferable manual gearbox. Additionally the car had a trim coloured dash in tan which today makes it certainly look more modern. With just four owners from new the car has a fantastic service history, it is accompanied by all its books and tools. The car's third owner purchased this wonderful 355 in 2003 and it has since been in the care of the fourth owner (who lives just 2 miles from his predecessor!). The car has a thorough service history, maintained by Maranello in Egham until 2004 and since then maintained at no expense by ourselves, in total this example has covered just under 26,000 miles. In December 2013 the car was treated to a major service including cambelt replacements and as a result this stunning manual 355 spider is ready to use immediately.
