It actually has dark grey interior. $130k seems to be the asking price for the 355 Fiorano's as there's another one (red/tan) in NY for the same price and it's a 6-speed, only 10 of 100 are 6-speeds.  |

Speaking of off-colors-there was a brown 355 GTS in autoweek a few weeks ago, linked to a non-working web site. Truly the ferrari for someone who wants to be different (I like it!!) |

I agree that it's a beautiful color. I've always liked the non-red cars best. The only drawback is that I'm pretty sure the interior is dark blue, which is a bit odd. However, it seems like the uncommon colors don't sell as quickly or for as much. There's a 99 355B that's been on the market for a long time that I've been keeping an eye on... It's Verde Silverstone (dark green), so I guess it hasn't generated much interest, and the asking price has steadily dropped over 25k since the first time I saw it listed. As for this car, I'd give FoW a call and see what's up. I'm guessing it's a consignment car, because I know through other people that they're very flexible on their prices... not sure why this one hasn't moved yet since a serious buyer could probably get the price down to a reasonable level. -R |

actually, I like that colour. Its interesting though that in the UK I know of 2 such cars available in dealers with that colour and they have stuck for years |

I've seen the car in person a few times. It is beautiful......I think I'd give 100k for it.......but not 135k........that seems kind of high........I'm not basing the 100k on anything other my own justification |

When I first saw the car, I thought it was the Azurro (sp?). It has a bluish tint. |

"anyone know the story on this car" It's actually a nice looking car, though I know nothing about it. Didn't know it was still there. Why not just call Ralph C at FoW, 703.478.3606, and ask him about the car. I've always found the FoW folks to be straight shooters. Might well be a consignment car. I'd be happy to look at it for you & take photos, if you'd like. |

this appears to be a 355 Spider Serie Fiorano, #86 of 100 Fiorano cars produced at the end of the production run. this is not a $90K car, though it apparently isn't a $135K car either ;-)

I've seen that car there several times in the last year. I actually saw it on the road several years ago in DC... Looks great, but I think the holdup is that they're asking $135k for it. Not sure if it's a consignment deal or what.. but I guess people aren't willing to pay that much for an off-color Fcar when there are other fine examples going for 30-50k less. -R |

There is a nice 355, kind of a metallic blue 355 Convertible withthe Fiorna (sp) package.....looks like a beautiful car........but I think it's been there for at least 2 years.........anyone know the story on this car.......FoW moves a lot of cars, I'm curious / worried why this one has never sold |
