‘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 the downforce being improved 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 in March 2004 by supplying dealer Graypaul of Loughborough, this late-model manual ‘Spider’ was acquired by the vendor in 2017 and has since spent its life in Northern Ireland at his holiday property. Retaining its full document pack, including factory-supplied service book; it displays eleven stamps between 2004 and 2018 from a combination of approved and independent specialists. The cam belts were replaced in 2014 and again more recently in 2017 at 31,088 miles.

The paint presents in good condition with only minor blemishes and scuffs reported by the vendor - the wings are also embellished with the optional ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields. Weather protection is provided in the form of a black fabric convertible hood, which is in good shape, with no rips or tears, and the mechanism worked perfectly during our recent photography session. The interior is finished in striking Crema and the condition of the cabin reflects the modest mileage, with minimal wear. There is slight rubbing to some of the buttons and controls which is a common issue with Ferrari cars of this period, and the original analogue Ferrari-branded stereo head unit has been replaced with a far more user-friendly contemporary system. Accompanying the car is the original leather document pack, including the Guarantee card from Graypaul Motors, factory toolkit, NOS Ferrari-branded tyre inflator and an indoor car cover.

This privately-owned Ferrari 360 Spider is a thrilling open-top supercar, which benefits from a timeless factory specification. Even more aurally exciting than the Modena coupe thanks to being able to drop the roof to listen to the glorious V8 behind you; this is a well-maintained car that presents well in arguably the most desirable colour combination. It is now ready to be cherished and enjoyed on the road by a new owner, and would make a fine addition to any collection of Maranello’s finest.
