Description
1998 Ferrari F355 Spider F1 with only 28000 miles - A Collectable Icon from Ferrari's Finest Era.
Few Ferraris capture the balance of art, innovation, and emotion quite like the F355 Spider.
This particular example, a 1998 Ferrari F355 Spider F1, represents a pivotal moment in Ferrari history: the introduction of the Formula 1-derived paddle-shift gearbox, a technology that would go on to define the next two decades of supercar evolution. For collectors, it marks the perfect meeting point between tradition and technology, a car that bridges the analogue purity of the past with the performance sophistication of the future.
Finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema hide and Bordeaux carpets, this car exudes Italian elegance. The bodywork presents beautifully, its sculpted Pininfarina lines unspoiled and full of tension. Beneath the rear deck lies Ferrari's legendary 3.5-litre V8, producing 380 bhp, one of the most melodic engines ever built. Crank the key and awaken the legendary V8. It doesn't just run; it sings a glorious, mechanical symphony that climbs from a guttural idle to an 8,500 rpm operatic crescendo. This is the sound that defined a generation of supercars pure, unadulterated, and intoxicating.
Meticulously maintained and accompanied by a comprehensive service history, this F355 Spider has clearly been cherished throughout its life. The car's condition and provenance make it an outstanding candidate for any serious Ferrari collection. Recent servicing ensures it is as mechanically sound as it is visually striking, ready either for display or for spirited use as Enzo intended.
There is an impressive history file with the car that demonstrates that all owners have taken the correct care in maintaining this Ferrari, the most recent service, which included the all-important cam belt change, was carried out in October 2025 by Ferrari Birmingham at 28010 miles.
The car also benefits from 4-brand new Michelin PS4 tyres, a full alloy wheel refurbishment by magnesium wheel specialists and a convertible roof service. The car has also had a 3-stage machine polish and ceramic coat to ensure it looks as good as the day it left the factory.
