    This car started out as the press 348 serie special tb (it is on the list of the first 100)

    we converted to the challenge

    we left the speciale gear on it.

    That plenum looks interesting. Looks a bit tall to my eyes but I can't tell if it's the angle or not.

    Is it me or are any of the following two statements true, considering the number of F355 Challenges that show up here in pictures, or F-chat member owned, etc. (remember some were crashed/destroyed/etc.)

    (1) there are a lot more of 109 (or low 1xx) F355 Challenges built

    or

    (2) there is a high representation of F355 Ch owners on F-chat

    I would love to believe (2) is true but I fear that (1) may be the case?

    This car is sold back to Germany. New owner is a well known member of this website. Good luck to him with this great car that I enjoyed 7 years.

    I will move to more street car.
