We’re proud to offer one of the finest F355 Ferrari’s in the country, a manual coupe optioned in iconic Rosso Corsa paintwork over Tan trim and delivered new by Lance Dixon Ferrari in September of 1998.
Launched at the 1994 Geneva International Motorshow, the Ferrari F355 boasted leading edge automotive engineering and was quoted by Road & Track magazine as having “probably the best sports-car engine ever made” (October 1994 Issue). The undisputed champion within its class the F355 is 95% aesthetically and mechanically different to its predecessor, the F348 for all the right reasons.Engineered to excite the F355 is lean, incredibly agile and broke records at the time for the specific output of a naturally aspirated production car engine – delivering a whopping 380hp from a lightweight 3.5 litre V8.
The last of the great wedge profiles penned by Pininfarina, an aerodynamic fiberglass under tray that sucks the car to the road, electronic dampers to calculate road speed, brake pressure, suspension load and steering movements, and a centrally mounted flat-plane V8 capable of launching the car from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds, the F355 has a depth of brilliance no other manufacturer could match and is arguably more wholly more engaging driving experience than any modern Ferrari on offer today.

Travelling just 53,000 kilometres the only way to describe the condition both inside and out of this brilliantly presented F355 would be time warp.
With a skin tight panel fit and concours condition paintwork complimented by the original OLSA and Valeo lights and indicators, the factory fitted Sigla glass still in every window, correct and original Magnetti Marelli wing mirrors, chrome badging and original blemish free 5 spoke alloys the road presence of this proper supercar is totally clean as if it rolled off the production line yesterday.
The cockpit has been beautifully maintained to the same fastidious standards with the hand stitched leather dash showing zero signs of age, the original square-sided buckets stick to the driver like an over-the-shoulder roller coaster restraint, the original radio is still fitted, the switch gear and dials are crystal clear and the original chrome gated manual shifter is a sight for sore eyes.
A popular choice at the time was the F1 paddle shift transmission that dominates Ferrari’s of today. This example, however offers the now more than ever desirable and authentically exotic chrome gated manual transmission.
Accompanied by the original leather bound log books, leather tool kit, both factory keys with the original FOB’s and a form fitted car cover this well documented F355 also features a swathe of servicing receipts attesting to its meticulous maintenance, most recently benefitting from from a major service completed in August of this year replacing all drive belts, water pump, all fluids, spark plugs and a new rear-main seal.
Conjuring more hp per litre than the V12 in the McLaren F1, the F355 was and still is an excitingly fast car.
As values continue to climb internationally it becomes ever harder to find and purchase great examples like this especially rare Australian delivered, manual coupe in near perfect condition. A viewing is an absolute must of this iconic Ferrari.
