    According to Wikipedia, there was one 355F1 Challenge produced for a handicapped client of Ferrari.

    Are there any details on this car that exist out there? Pretty rare car being 1 of 1 :)

    There was an F40 produced for Gianni Agnelli that was a 2 pedal but manual shifting car:
    1989 Ferrari F40 Valeo | Ferrari ? Leggenda e Passione 2008 | RM AUCTIONS

    Was the 355F1 Challenge for him as well?

    I used to see that car, in pieces anyway, every time I had my own 355F1 worked on. Adam Cox had it in his shop for years while the Hollfelders decided what to do with it. If finally went back to them about a year ago.

    I was reminded earlier today when seeing a folder titled 355 Hollfelder on Adam's desk. Asked him whether they were planning to campaign it again, but he said they just wanted the car to run and keep it around. It probably has sentimental value as both Carol and her late husband Paul Brown raced it. That's another tragic story.

    And the story got more tragic this weekend. Carol died on Friday of a heart attack, aged 49.
