1997 Ferrari 355 GTS Manual - Le Mans Blue
Supplied new in March 1997 by Maranello Concessionaires, this Ferrari F355 GTS features a stunning and rare specification, finished in the sophisticated combination of Le Mans Blu over Grigio Chiaro. It is one of only three known F355s delivered to the UK in this unique colour with the highly sought-after manual transmission. Notably, this car was specified without the Scuderia shields, contributing to its subtle and refined character.
The early part of the car’s life saw regular use and maintenance with Ferrari main dealers before being placed in professional storage in 2009 with Ferrari specialists Meridian Modena. Far from being left idle, the vehicle was meticulously maintained during this period. The history file includes numerous invoices detailing the work carried out by Meridian, ensuring its mechanical integrity while the car was in their care. Regular running and servicing were documented, as confirmed by a letter from Meridian. Upon its sale in 2019 to a Scottish property developer, Meridian conducted a comprehensive inspection and addressed all necessary updates after its decade in storage.
Significant work since leaving storage included replacing all interior switches prone to the common "sticky switch" issue, a £3,100 investment that dramatically enhances the cabin's appearance and feel. Additional maintenance included the replacement of both headlight lift motors, new gear linkage bushes and control rods, and the installation of a modern radio with USB and Bluetooth functionality.
This F355 GTS stands out as a remarkable example of Ferrari’s mid-engined V8 masterpiece. Its striking specification, combined with fewer than 3,500 miles driven since leaving storage, underscores its exceptional condition. The car is offered with its original Ferrari car cover, the complete and rarely-seen tool kit and the optional Ferrari battery conditioner, a vital accessory given the challenging battery access on these models. To ensure peace of mind, the car will receive a full service prior to sale. A truly outstanding opportunity to own a highly desirable and visually striking Ferrari.
