    Perry you have a beautiful car. Its sad you have to let it go. I am so tempted to jump into the ferrari world again with your car. But i know who ever buys your car will be happy since its a well kept 355. Good luck with your sale.

    Perry,
    When I was looking for a 95 355B I spent many hours oogling over your car in the showroom forum. Found exactly the car I was looking for (very similar to yours) but if I was still in the market I would not hesitate to move on your car. If it has not sold yet, it won't last long. Hope you come back to a Ferrari some day.

    Stunning car. And a very realistic price. There is no question this car should not get sold soon.

    When was the 30K done and by whom, if you don't mind me asking.

    Wow...it's gorgeous. Any valve guide issues; was a leakdown test ever done or were they checked out in the 30K? My 97 had it and were done at that time (3/05).

    The 355 Berlinetta still makes my heart beat a little faster each time I see it.

    I miss mine dreadfully.

    Wait a sec! why do you have to sell it? If you've owned the car in USA for 5 years I believe you can import it to the UK without having to worry about additional taxes. I could be WAY off here, but I think I heard something like this not too long ago. At any rate, good luck with the sale.

    I'm trying to sell my Maserati and will be in the market for a 6spd 2.7 F355. Yours is very realistically priced, if my Maserati sells soon, I'll give you a ring. Best of luck selling it, sorry to see you go.

    No, you can (and many do) drive lhd in UK...especially sports cars. You should be able to get a personal import bond to drive it in the UK, but IIRC you have to renew that every 6 months, and each time it gets to be a bit more of a pita. However, that said, you won't have any vat or duty due at that time because of the 'temporary' status but you might have to temporarily send it to France and re-import it or something.
