This Ferrari 348 TS is an exciting and rewarding modern classic Italian supercar, offered for sale by its third owner from new and with low mileage. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.4-litre quad-cam V8, delivering around 221kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed open-gate manual transmission. This original Australian-market example was first registered in January 1992, and has been with the seller and reportedly third owner for nine years. This 348 TS is believed to be one of only 35 examples delivered new to Australia. The odometer shows just 48,927 Kms from new. Build year: 1991 This example is finished in the quintessential shade of Rosso Corsa with a contrasting black vinyl-trimmed targa roof panel, over a Nero leather-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a top-tinted windscreen, Veglia Borletti gauges, air conditioning, a hidden stereo with Alpine CD multichanger, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. The car comes with two keys, a Ferrari-branded steering wheel cover, a red Ferrari-branded fitted car cover, tools, the owner’s manuals with a tan leather wallet, the service booklet, and four advertising brochures. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: an imperfection on the right-hand door by the lock, some stone chip repairs on the front bumper, a small section of paint has been polished through on the right-hand front wing edge, and there is normal age-related wear on the seats.
