    Perhaps your 348 has some Australian tenancies that are captured by your camera. ;)

    It does look extremely clean! :cool:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I'm intessed to known the VIN of our car.
    With the red lower front widescreen, I suspected it's around #83000
    The black lower widescreen is established on the 84700.

    Yes, it's the No. 63 overall.

    The only not factory installed parts are the oil filter and fluids. It still has the factory battery, even if it's no more working. of course. I have to remove the battery, at the moment it was just disconnected: it will be removed and changed next week.

    Great find, thanks for sharing! Normally I agree, they're meant to be driven...but finding this one with such low mileage I agree, preserve it and drive something else!

    Thank you, Jay. I cannot even describe well the emotion i felt when i got into the car for the first time when it was delivered, but maybe the "time capsule" words help describing a bit that: it was like as to come back in the time and get a new 348 from the factory.
    That was an incredible feeling an such an emotion that you do not even need to drive it: the "time capsule" sensation is the best emotion that car can offer, and i want to preserve it.

    ciao

    Hello Alberto,
    How did you find out your car is the 69th produced? My car has build number 296. Does this mean it is the 296th produced?

    PS if you got some time, could you take a lot more pictures please?

    Best regards,

    David

    Just for clarity; this car cover was made for the 348 series and 328 series that also included the turbo version of the 328 sold in the Italian market as the GTB turbo and GTS turbo. The 328 script was deleted from these models.

    It's the 63 th 348 tb produced. I did some research and thanks to a friend in Ferrari assistance and another in the Classiche program. 296 does not mean 296 th car, i cannot explain in english but trust me it's just a progressive number.

    ciao

    Thanks, Wade: reading this price, i will ask much more than the 80K euro i thought my wife car value was.

    I think we will ask 100 k euro (125 K USD more or less)

    My wife sold the 348. I think we won't ever have another car in such incredible conditions.
    It was even too new: the only time i went into the car I took out my shoes...

    The only problem with such a time capsule car is that you cannot drive it, but it's a very big pleasure to see and to touch such a preserved beauty.

    The car is pictured under servicing and inspecting for Classiche: the engine had to be opened because after 21 years without starting the engine, it required a big work before trying a restart.

    Will be delivered to GB very soon.

    ciao

    the "guy" smoking is a very famous guy in Ferrari classic world, a "smoking legend"... ;)

    Our former car will be soon auctioned by the new owner and I expect it will set a new price record for a standard 348 tb.

    ciao
