Offered here is a beautiful right-hand drive, manual gearbox, F355 GTB finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather with Bordeaux carpets. Previously owned by a prominent Ferrari Owners Club GB member Richard Prior and raced by him in the Pirelli Ferrari Hill-climb Championship for a number of years, winning the Driver’s Championship three times over in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Our enthusiast vendor purchased the car through a specialist Ferrari dealer in 2018 and took the decision to conduct a thorough schedule of works to return this retired racer back to road-going configuration.
Highly respected Ferrari specialist QV London were commissioned to perform most of the overhaul starting with the engine out allowing access to all sub-assemblies. While many of the mechanical parts were off the car being restored the body was sent to a paintwork specialist near Silverstone for paint where required. The overhaul has been documented from start to finish with images and all invoices on file including, engine check, engine cradle with front and rear suspension frames refurbished and powder coated, all bushes replaced, shocks overhauled with re-finished springs and new actuators, new brakes, radiators, hoses and under-trays, the list goes on with complete details on request.
The race specific parts removed have been neatly stored in Ferrari-style flight cases ready to be deployed once again for track days, fast road or race use. Accompanying this retired racer is the aforementioned history file, the original book pack with service book stamped up to date, Ferrari F355 tool kit, fitted car cover, C-Teck battery charger and two flight cases containing coil-over suspension units, race steering wheel and tow eye. The original grille is also supplied as a Challenge grille is currently fitted and, pleasingly, the GTB private number is included in the sale.
A nicely produced hard-back book is also included showing some restoration works and documents this F355’s racing career. In summary, here we have a Ferrari full of character benefiting from a recent thorough overhaul and absolutely on the button. Early, manual GTBs are becoming highly sought after and, with many low mileage examples hidden in private collections, this one begs to be driven as often as possible and enjoyed as a Ferrari should be.
Lovingly and carefully returned to road specification by our vendor, a true enthusiast, and only currently offered as an opportunity to purchase a 355 Challenge car couldn’t be refused. Forming part of A Sale of Ferraris in association with Ferrari Owners' Club of Great Britain, the buyer of this lot will be entitled to one years free membership with Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain.
