Two details lift it above a typical F355. The first is the later chassis specification, which is the version to have because it includes the improvements Ferrari made during the model's life. The second is that the sticky interior coatings, a well known problem on these cars where the soft touch plastics break down and become tacky, have already been stripped and refinished. The photographs cover the body, the rear grille, the cabin, the seats and the engine bay. ## Why this car is worth considering The F355 is the car many Ferrari people name as the best sounding V8 road car the company built. The 3.5 litre engine revs to 8,500 rpm and the note changes character twice on the way up. Combined with a gated manual gearbox in an open gate, it is an old fashioned experience in the best sense. The manual gearbox is the key. F355s were sold with an F1 option, and the manuals are the ones that have held value and demand. If you want to shift your own gears in a mid engined Ferrari with a high revving naturally aspirated V8, the list of alternatives is very short. The carbon interior and the Challenge rear grille are period correct touches that suit the car. With the sticky coatings already addressed, one of the most irritating jobs on a F355 has been done, and the paint is described as being in good order.
