  • 1 of just 478 UK right-hand drive cars to be fitted with the rarer six-speed manual gearbox
  • Finished in stunning Argento Nürburgring with a Tan leather interior

‘The 360 is a devastating road car. It does everything you’d hope a Ferrari would but with such polish, precision and ease that you don’t have to think twice about unleashing all its performance. There is perhaps no other car yet made that combines so much raw emotion with so much technical finesse (Evo magazine, June 1999)’

Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the F355, the 360 was an entirely new design featuring an aluminium spaceframe chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than the tubular steel arrangement of its predecessor. The revised bodywork resulted in downforce improving by a factor of four over the F355. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either a six-speed manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of over 180mph. In 2001, the spider version was introduced, the stiffness of the spaceframe being ideally suited to handle an open top. This was followed in 2003 by the ultimate incarnation - the 360 racing series inspired Challenge Stradale - featuring a number of weight saving and tuning modifications by the factory.

First registered on the 20th July 2001, chassis ZFFYT53C000125354 was supplied through Maranello of Egham to the first of only three owners and was specified as one of only 478 right-hand drive 6-speed manual examples in the attractive colour scheme of Argento Nürburgring paintwork with a Dark Blue mohair hood and a Tan leather-trimmed interior. The most recent long-term keeper owned the Spider for some sixteen years and was used so sparingly that the two-seater was put into storage from 2016 through to 2022 and would be returned to Maranello Egham, who have maintained the car throughout its 22 years, to be recommissioned.

Upon inspection, this very presentable 360 Spider fired-up well. The vendor pointed out that there are some stone chips that are to be expected for a car of this age but thanks to recent paint correction around the rear arches, it presents in ‘very good’ order. It rides on the original set of ‘unmarked’ 18-inch alloy wheels, framing Silver brake calipers and shod with a recent set of Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Currently fitted is a top-of-the-range Becker stereo with Sat Nav; the original comes with the car.

The comprehensive service history shows ten entries from Maranello Egham between 2002 and 2022 and one entry for Verdi in 2007. These were for annual servicing, but with belts at 4,276 and 5,311 miles, brake fluid at 12,877 miles, belts and plugs at 17,680 miles and at 19,956 miles as part of the car’s recommissioning following storage, which also included an Annual 2 Service and belts, plus a hydraulic clutch block, both lower ball joints and covers and suspension springs invoiced at £7,992.75. The most recent maintenance was in August 2023 at 20,005 miles and included an overhaul of the soft-top roof mechanism at a total cost of £2,897.45. Included in the sale are the original tool kit in a leather case, the official battery charger, handbooks and the service booklet, invoices, MOTs, the Certificate of Conformity, original Ferrari stereo, two keys with three fobs and the current V5C.
