    Thank you for the note. I'll make an update in the records. There are a few vehicles with swapped in seats.

    I figured, as there aren't many GTSes with sport seats. Please post some photos when you receive it!

    Thank you! I saw the interior and knew I had to purchase this 355. It was originally a U.S. car that came up for sale in Switzerland. Mine is so far the only manual GTS I've been able to find with this spec.

    Thank you for the info on this Berlinetta. The BBS wheels compliment it well and it's in great condition for 120k km. Which year is this one and where is it located?

    Hi sorry not answer faster, this car is located in country Norway, I think will soon go to market. I was planing to buy this car but the KM was too high for me.
    The car is registered 1998, but its 1999 by VIN

    Thanks Reza. It's probably one of the highest spec'd 355s out there. What were they asking?

    Also, I'm now up to 65 cars. There was a yellow 98 Giallo over black Berlinetta posted by @tr512 that was involved in a fire in Vancouver, but I'm not sure if the seats survived and/or were sold off

    I was in contact with the dealer last year and they told me they turned down 120k EUR, I thought the KM was too high for me but very nice car. The dashboard is also carbon. But yeah if the KM was less would have loved to buy this car. In car registry I see the same dealer still own this car, dont know what their plan is, they not put the car out for sale yet.

    $1/km seems like all the money. I realize this is a high spec car, but it's also high mileage and an F1, which are not pulling anywhere near 6 speed manual numbers.

    Definitely not FHP. Look carefully at how the calipers were painted. You can tell they were once black. FHP wasn't available until second half of 98 cars. The description assumes the seats were a "Fiorano Option Pack" whatever that means. It was simply an option.

    A question for the experts here regarding the CF sport seats - are they in any way a problem for a tall (6’2”) driver? Do they provide or take away from head room or leg room compared to standard seats? Thanks

    I didn't have any issues with either and I'm that height or better depending on the day.

    I'm 6'2" and am fine and prefer the carbon seats over standard.
