This Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta is a well-maintained example of the iconic V8 supercar, offered in smart condition. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V8 with five valves per cylinder, producing around 280kW / 375bhp and driving the rear wheels via a six-speed ‘F1’ electro-hydraulic automated manual transmission with paddle shifters. The odometer shows just 45,990 km from new, which is well documented by the maintenance history. Prior to its recent importation to Australia, the car was registered in Hong Kong. This 355 F1 Berlinetta is finished in the archetypal hue of Rosso Corsa over a black leather-trimmed interior with a black dashboard, door card sections, and centre console trim. It rides on the correct set of 18-inch Speedline magnesium alloy wheels, framing red Ferrari-branded callipers and shod in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The factory specification includes pop-up headlights, a Ferrari-branded cassette stereo, with CD changer, a switchable Sport mode, a heated rear screen, air conditioning, and electric windows. This 355 F1 now features a ‘Challenge’ rear grille. The car will be supplied with its original owner’s manuals, which includes the stamped service booklet, as well as two sets of keys. Please note: the car is currently on a VIC club permit registration, but this is not included in the sale. The Rosso Corsa paintwork is reported to be in generally very good condition, showing light stone chips on front end, some chips behind the wheels, and a small chip on the lower part of the rear bumper. Inside, the cabin presents in good low-mileage order, with light wear and creasing on the seats, some light wear on the centre console and door mounted buttons, and a little fading of the trim around the HVAC controls. The seller notes that the radio is not working, but is otherwise not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults.

The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the belts including the cam belt. Prior to this, the car was serviced in January 2021 at 42,477 km, and in November 2018 at 39,912 km, both of which were routine services by Musketeers Motorsport Services.
