My dad had a F355 GTS F1 in silver and red interior and that looked awesome. The F1 box was like being kicked in the back when you shifted from 1st to 2nd under any load. I agree, one of the prettiest Ferrari's ever made. The main issue was starting the bugger. Battery was always flat despite using the isolator and getting to the battery (hidden behind the front wheel) was a real pig. However, when it did run and you revved it to the 8500 red line, it was like a banshee screaming in your ears.........pure heaven.

Just leave the car on a trickle charger. There is no reason for a battery to go flat with the battery cutoff switch activated. Are you sure the car didn't have some kind of aftermarket devices wired directly to the battery?

Before buying my F355, I test drove a friend's '95 F355 and couldn't believe how light the steering felt. I really disliked it, however I still kept my sights on finding a 355 for myself since it was my dream car. When I finally found it and test drove it, I was pleasantly surprised at how great the steering felt. It was perfectly weighted, IMO. So I bought the car and enjoyed if for 4 years. I see someone's commented on how to improve the power steering. I'm proof that it can definitely vary from car to car. Thanks for the review. I see a 355 in your future.

Do you know that Blu Pozzi and Blu Swaters were the names given to praise the dealers (In France and Belgium)? How cool and Ferrari-style way to give you the gift that will stay for the generations. Imagine doing a good job, selling lots of the cars and one day, you get the letter from Maranello stating that they will name every car in those colours with your name. And I do agree that blue 355s are the most amazing looking cars. There was one in Italy for 1 week with the similar spec (Swaters and no sport seats) with the super high premium (+50% to the similar red) and it was gone in days. This is the value of the perfect spec in Ferrari. All the Best James. Keep on hunting.

My F355 GTS was built in November of 1994 and it also has the carbon bucket seats from factory. And being a ‘94 car, it also has the manual gearbox, the non-airbag steering wheel and the Motronic 2.7. But it’s Rosso Corsa over black leather seats and black carpets 😅. The car in the video comes very close to my dream spec which would be exactly like my car, but Blu Swaeters or Blu Pozzi with tan or cuoio interior. I’ve never seen that spec in pictures or in the flesh either, so I’m not swapping mine any time soon. Great vid as always James. Thouroughly enjoyed it!

B&O sound system and the safety tech pack as well.

Brilliant review by someone who takes the very essence of a car and distills it into what makes it great.....This guy is absolutely spot on in his appraisal of the F355. The only person I have heard talking correct about the steering wheel (I had the wrong type😭) I bought a white one to replace my white Testarossa (which I kept for my collection). I loved every minute of it, except the maintenance. It was so labour-intensive (Ferrari admit that) that I must have spent a lot more than the purchase price on maintenance throughout the years! It was ludicrous!! They sorted that out with the F430 onwards, thankfully. I didn't replace it till I got a 458 (white again). All the others inbetween just didn't give me the Fizz. It's just so beautiful! Yes, it's slow, not particularly good handling and the steering and brakes not much better than my 1967 330 GTS, but that's not the point! It was the smile on my face!😊 I still get in it and drive it on special occasions, and the looks I get is just priceless. Only my Testarossa gets more attention. So I recommend, if you can, definitely buy one......only have very deep pockets to keep it going!

This is the only Ferrari I've ever driven. I must say I was captivated on that day!

Hi James, having owned and unfortunately crashed a Porsche 993 turbo 4 back in the early 00’s, with my insurance settlement in hand, I was on the lookout for a 355, I’m pretty damn sure this exact car (Le Mans blue with the big chairs) was at the time for sale with Afzal Khan via his V12 company in Bradford. I tried pretty hard to buy it at the time but the salesman was particularly arrogant & difficult to deal with. I ended up going for an F1 spider in Nero and saddle tan leather which was a blast to drive especially top down through a tunnel 🤪Always wondered if this car was still out there, wonderful to see it again and in such good condition 😍… seats are correct as you say 👍

that's awesome, may not be as fast as a 458 but it sounds just like a 458 while being smaller and more analog. I grew up with the 360, 430, and 458 but this generation of ferrari is starting to appeal to me more and more. Manual versions aren't rare, they aren't super bougie to appeal to people that just want to be seen in an expensive car, and they're much smaller than the new stuff so it won't be stressful to back into spaces and navigate a city if you wanted to

Me thinks you were enjoying yourself! LOL well done, loved the race-car to road-car conversion thought.

One of my favourite shape Ferrari the F355, good choice of colour, doesn’t matter if it is not the fastest it’s the sound and the looks that matters.👍👌

It is well to see the 355 is finally getting some appreciation after all of these years. It is my favorite of Ferrari's mid engine V8 line, and it always looked cooler than any other sports car of the 90's.

I once saw a silver one, it looked tremendous with a lovely scarlet interior 😍

Did you know? The length, width, height, and wheelbase of the 348/355 are all within an inch of the DeLorean? It seems Pininfarina benchmarked a Giugiaro design when they set out to replace the 328.

Finding a Unicorn 355 is hard as always lots on the market. We achieved it and every time we considering selling….we change our mind! 1999T Berlinetta Manual, Rosso Corsa with Crema and Bordeaux carpets! Crucially we wanted factory Scuderia Shields (not stickers) and we achieved this along with the Fiorano Handling Pack and Challenge rear grill! 10 years later and now with 23500 miles, happy not to have compromised. We very nearly accepted a gts or a black interior and gave up on factory shields….so happy to achieve what we did.

Also great video and for anyone out there interested, our only reliability issue was a rapidly depleting battery 5 years in to ownership that related to 7 legacy tracker systems that JCT600 in Leeds managed to find. Flat battery is a dealer start up, but they have always been great.

My father imported one of the first ever made f355. In first month we made 10k km. With different exhaust and catless it did go 300kph. Great memories i have to say! For sure one of if not the best Ferrari ever.

My friend has an F355 Spider and an F430 Spider in this exact spec and they are both gorgeous.

J - the F355 GTB manual is my hero car. It blew me away when I drove it. Did my wife like it? Too raw she said. Is the air conditioner reliable? Of course not. But for the 20 min test drive - it was the total dream.

@maniacninja 11 ай бұрын

That is a great blue and the 355 gtb is in my top 2 favorite ferraris along with the 288 gto. I'd have a hard time picking between tdf blue or yellow myself. I think i remember seeing a spider in nart blue in some magazine way back that looked nice too.

Any 360 (manual). Even in resell red. I drove one in Knockhill for my 40th birthday. Over 10 years ago, but still remember it as yesterday. Best day ever.

Christ ALIVE!!! This car in this spec is giving me a Kryten style double Polaroid. The 355 is the only Ferrari that’s really got my heart racing, the early one with pre airbag wheel and in yellow and of course a manual, however this car is the stuff of absolute dreams.

Definitely a double polaroid car
