Y957CDS FERRARI F360 SPIDER MANUAL
Highly
desirable manual gearbox 360, right hand drive; only 34,500 miles from new;
2,000 miles since service including belts
The Ferrari 360, produced
from 1999 to 2005, was very much more than a facelift of its predecessor, the
355. An entirely new all aluminium space-frame chassis was designed with
partners Alcoa giving a 40% increase in chassis stiffness compared to the steel
design of the 355.
A new 3.6-litre V8, using a flat plane crankshaft and
titanium connecting rods produced 395bhp and could, according to Ferrari, reach
100 km/h (62 mph) from standstill in an electrifying 4.5 seconds.
With
chassis design and mechanicals concluded, Pininfarina then designed the
ultra-smooth and elegant two seater body. Originally designed with a convertible
in mind, the 360 had strengthened sills, stiffer floorpan and a redesigned
windscreen frame to counter the inevitable loss in torsional rigidity when
removing the roof. Neatly finished with distinctive roll bars, fully automatic
folding roof and glass engine cover, the resulting 360 Spider was (and is) a
thing of beauty.
The car being offered is an original RHD UK car sporting
the highly desirable manual gearbox complete with 6 speed gated gear change.
Built in 2001 and finished in Argento Nurburgring Silver with dark blue leather
interior, the car has only covered 34,444 miles to date.
With significant
documented service history, this example comes with the original Ferrari
Certificate of Conformity and numerous receipts and bills for maintenance.
Details show that the front suspension was overhauled in 2013 and that the
cambelts and tensioners were most recently changed at 32,346 miles.
There
is a near continuous MOT history with ten old certificates within the documents
file.
Ferrari 360 Spiders with such low mileage and decent, recent
service history are now highly sought after. This is a rare opportunity to
acquire such a car.
