1998 Ferrari F355 Spider For Sale

1998 Ferrari F355 Spider

Description

Hilton & Moss are delighted to present for sale this exquisite 1998 Ferrari F355 Spider, finished in the rare and highly desirable Le Mans Blue over a Crema leather interior. With just 19,300 miles from new, this is an outstanding example of one of Ferrari’s most celebrated modern classics.

Launched in 1994, the F355 marked a new era for Ferrari. Its 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V8, producing 380bhp, is mated to the iconic six-speed gated manual gearbox, delivering one of the finest driving experiences of any car from Maranello. The F355 Spider, introduced in 1995, added open-air exhilaration to the package, making the most of the spine-tingling soundtrack of the flat-plane crank V8.

This example stands out not only for its rare colour combination but also for its condition and provenance. Finished in Le Mans Blue - a hue seldom specified at the time - the car’s elegant lines are beautifully complemented by the contrasting Crema leather upholstery, a timeless Ferrari pairing.

The car has covered just 19,300 miles and is backed by a strong history file that evidences careful ownership throughout its life. The service record is comprehensive, with maintenance carried out by recognised Ferrari specialists and Ferrari main dealer to ensure the car remains in superb mechanical health. Having been in long-term ownership since 2001, the car has received continuous maintenance, all of which is documented within the history file.

Accompanied by its original book pack, tool kit, and stamped service booklet, this F355 Spider is a true collector-quality example. The car presents in a superb cosmetic condition, having just been subject to a full exterior respray by the expert Hilton & Moss team, alongside freshly refurbished wheels. The interior remains wonderfully preserved and is complemented by a dark blue hood and leather tonneau.

With the model’s reputation fast becoming one of the most sought-after Ferrari of the modern era, examples of this calibre are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

Hilton & Moss are proud to offer this exceptional F355 Spider, with viewings and demonstration available by appointment, at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

Available options with the car include the application of PPF across the whole car, or partially, as well as the installation of a Capristo sports exhaust.

Supplied with a 12-month warranty on sale, fresh MOT and service, this spectacular Ferrari is not expected to be available for long!
