Ferrari 355 1998

Talacrest are delighted to present this exceptional 1998 Ferrari F355 F1 Spider, beautifully finished in the timeless combination of Rosso Corsa over Nero leather, complemented by Rosso stitching and matching Rosso carpets.

Penned by Pininfarina and powered by Ferrari’s legendary naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V8, producing 380bhp and revving to 8,500rpm, ithe F355 delivers an exhilarating driving experience and is often regarded as one of Ferrari’s greatest modern classics.

A particular highlight is the rare factory Fiorano Handling Package. Costing almost £10,000 when new and exceptionally rare on a UK right-hand-drive Spider, it features Challenge-derived quicker steering, lowered sports suspension, drilled brake discs and red brake calipers, providing an even sharper and more engaging driving experience.

Maintained throughout its life by Ferrari Main Dealers and many of the UK’s leading Ferrari specialists, this car benefits from a fully documented service history demonstrating meticulous long-term ownership.

Most recently, Meridien Modena carried out a comprehensive annual service at 23,000 miles in June 2026, including cambelt replacement, steering rack overhaul and new brake pads.

The electric convertible hood operates perfectly and remains in excellent condition. A brand new matching set of Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres has recently been fitted, while the Tubi rear exhaust silencer provides an even more evocative soundtrack.

With just 23,000 miles from new, a rare Fiorano Handling Package, exceptional Ferrari Main Dealer and specialist service history, and significant recent expenditure by Meridien Modena, this is undoubtedly one of the finest F355 F1 Spiders available today.
