    There are various press kits covered by your description from the initial launch thro various events to the final Spider kit - in or at the back cover is a number 876/94 or 1234/97 for example - that will give a better answer - but the basic reply answer is probably between USD 20 - 75

    Ferrari press kits are always collectible. Some are extremely rare, like the Ferrari 408 press kit (yes the 408!!) I bought on ebay in 2000. I have never seen another ever. The early 1984 Testarossa press kit is also very rare, only 800 of those made I think.

    The 355 press kit is worth between $50-$75....MAYYYYBE $100 on ebay.

    Some more info about your press kit. The print #s tell you a lot about it: 877/94 - 1M/07/94= it is the 877th factory publication since 1966. 94 is the year it was made.

    1M means only 1000 were made worldwide, making it fairy rare. 07/94 obviously the date released.

    Jurgen, there is no factory print # for the 408 press kit. The 408 kits were made in conjuntion with ALCAN, the Aluminum company that created the chassis for the 408. Inside the press kit are photos a booklet, and a brochure on the Ferrari 408. They are virtually impossible to find and very expensive.

    Oh wow Jurgen, that is a piece I have never seen before! It appears to be a Swiss addition to the owner's manual. Indeed extremely rare! Very nice!

    Sorry for leading your thread all over the place. $75 is not a bad price for the press kit.
