Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
An open top rarity with the traditional Ferrari character and refinement.
Created in 1989 and quite obviously leaning heavily on the iconic styling traits of the Testarossa and F40, the 348 was the car to bring the illustrious brand into the 1990s, with dual computer management, ABS and adjustable ride-height suspension. Initially sold as a fixed-head coupe or targa, the 348 was revised in 1993, to iron out some of the criticisms, increase the power and offer some visual upgrades over the original.
One of the most notable aspects was the inclusion of the Spider, the first open-top Ferrari since the Daytona of the early '70s. Featuring a slighter wider rear track, it used the same F119H higher compression engine as the 348 GT with a new gearbox. The results were intoxicating and has realigned the 348 as one of Ferrari's underrated greats. The 348 was the last junior Ferrari developed under Enzo Ferrari's personal supervision, it was a modern Ferrari without diluting the rich experience of what is now considered one the best mid-engined cars of its era.
First registered by Maranello sales in August 1994, this is 1 of just ~68 RHD Spiders imported into the UK and noted as one of the last 348s to be produced. Finished in, what else but Ferrari Rosso Corsa and a beige leather interior (it's thought only 7 still road registered in this spec), it has just ~27,659 recorded miles, only 2 former keepers, eleven service stamps, two keys, factory book pack and complete Schedoni toolkit and case, and with an MOT to February 2025.
