It’s the rarest model. 500 built ? High miles though. If it was 25k miles I’d say 135k. Not sure what the deduction is for the mileage.
Past BaT postings may be helpful. Cars like this and this seem relevant. You can search on make/model and then filter further.
You can search for F355s (or just about any other collector car model) by model and transmission on Classic. Here is the F355 GTS F1 category, but there aren't too many sales due to the lower production number. Gated manual transmissions seem to sell for approximately 50% more than F1 depending on the spec, service history, and mileage. https://www.classic.com/m/ferrari/f355/gts-f1/
I saw that and agree. I wouldn’t have been happy about the posts detailing the crazy over the top PPI if I were the seller.
Excellent informative site. Even though there are only 4 data points in the last 365 days, it is all valid auction results rather than speculation or dealer asking prices. You can compare mileage/condition/etc to several other cars over a longer period of time if you like, but the short answer is ~$95-100k.
I don't have a problem with comments on BaT auctions that convey accurate information about a car that's for sale. What I don't like is insinuations. The guy talking about the PPI he had done on that car should post the specific findings of that PPI -- not sit there and say it failed a leakdown because of a valve seat problem in one cylinder but offer no evidence or explanation. Bad form.
Will these one day be the aperta prices, the one which started the street specials: 1999 Ferrari F355 F1 Spider Serie Fiorano F1 SPIDER for sale on Sotheby’s Motorsport - ending September 29 (Lot # 204) | Sotheby’s Motorsport (sothebysmotorsport.com)
IMO no, the 348GTC started the specials. The Fiorano wasn't on the same level as the rest and most of the parts were available separately, unlike the other 'specials.' Fiorano is certainly cool and would be worth a little more imo, but it's not the on the level of a gtc, CS, scud etc.
Here’s how a 355 can be ordered in Europe. Fiorano Handling Pack and Roll Bar options not available for U.S and some other markets. These are 98-99 MY options only. “Interior Carbon Trim” was a $6k option at the time. Quite expensive considering carbon seat option was only $3700. Interior carbon trim (on an F1) included: - carbon cluster surround - carbon radio surround - carbon center console with pocket. *note it does not appear you can order this without the front pocket attached. - carbon door cards. *Spiders have slightly different carbon door cards. - carbon E-brake cover - special new design carbon door sills with Ferrari aluminum scripts. If the car is manual: - carbon shift knob w/ gear numbered shift plate instead of shift plate with cavallino. *If GTS - carbon targa was another $7500 option. With the exception of the carbon cluster (extremely rare), carbon shift knob (from an F50), and carbon door sills … these options could not be ordered/obtained outside of spec-ing the car with it. Ask me how I know. * I bring this up because only a very detailed person would realize something is missing. The “interior carbon trim” option did not come with carbon paddles for F1 cars. You cannot buy them either (outside of after-market). There is no part #’s for them. Ferrari decided only Serie Fioranos would be equipped with carbon paddles. Figured I’d throw this little easter egg out there. I’ve always said, “you learn something new everyday with these cars.” That’s really one of the few unique things about a Serie Fiorano. It was also the only way the U.S market could get an FHP-equipped 355, while FHP were standard options for UK, Europe, and Japan. Suede covered steering wheel is unique to the Serie Fiorano for the most part. However, I did come across one instance where a UK owner pressed the factory to equip his RHD Berlinetta with a suede covered steering. Really the only example I know of.

To my eyes, a Serie Fiorano is more of a marketing gimmick than a special series car we’re accustomed to. It is essentially a Spider with half of the “interior carbon trim” package offered standard in UK, Euro, and Japan markets. Recessed fenders + shields. Fiorano Handling Pack. Suede-covered steering wheel and a numbered plaque to make you feel special hiding the fact other markets can build higher spec 355’s. No carbon cluster surround, carbon door cards, or E-brake cover. Heck, technically one can order a standard Spider with “interior carbon trim”, recessed fenders, and FHP and get a little more out of it as far as carbon pieces go than a Serie Fiorano. *As an aside, manual Serie Fioranos are already seeing the high valuations. They appear to be exchanging hands in the mid $300k range. Will they go higher?? They will probably ride the 355 wave.
Very similar to the serie speciale 348s, though those did at least have unique tail lights (and with the optional speed lines looked awesome).
Hi, been following this post for a while now. Looking to buy my first Ferrari f355! Sourced a lot of knowledge here. Thanks for that. I’m looking at a 1995 f355 gtb with airbag Euro car. Doesn’t have the airbag inscription on the dash. Is this common on early airbag specimens? Or does it mean it’s been deployed and fixed?
https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1997-ferrari-f355-berlinetta-3 Oh man... Sub $100k!?! Circa 2018 pricing. Even with fees and import hassle/expenses and a FULL engine out detail and updates, this one was well bought.
This car caught my eye on BaT. Would love this as my first 355. Color looks incredible. Saw your comments Kenny. Still, I am concerned about the leakdown test that was mentioned, but not sure it is something serious enough to affect driveability? I burned an exhaust valve in my BMW and it was very obvious. I fixed that myself, but that was not a run of the mill job. Not sure if it's even worse on a Ferrari or what. Any concerns with the full repaint? That doesn't seem typical either.
Since Bradan painted the Rosso Fiorano car, here’s a link which showcases what they do to address buttress cracks. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/bradan-355-major-service-paint.358733/page-9 I contacted the owner of this Giallo 355 a few years ago and asked him if there are any signs of buttress cracks out of curiosity. He replied car still looks as the day it left Bradan’s shop. I know people are skeptical of re painted 355’s, but if one goes through Bradan’s past 355 paint restoration threads you might leave thinking it’s a plus.
Wow. Just went through that whole thread. Incredible work. I can see what you're talking about now... Better than new. Would you have concerns with the leakdown on one of the cylinders? I know hard to say without concrete numbers...
