    I think it is stunningly beautiful!

    I found this photo in a gallery of shots taken at an event called "Autofest05" and it was the only shot of this car. If anyone has more, I would love seeing them. I think I am in love. :D

    Thanks in advance!

    I can't really tell, but in anycase I haven't heard of a car show call "AutoFest".....

    Peloton can you give us the link to the gallery, so we can see what other cars turned up and determine a location. :)

    I've seen an identical one in NSW, however the plates were different, and its since been sold without the challenge parts

    I quite like the front splitter on that 355. It "looks" like it would work to some degree.....

    Sure thing, but that seems to be the only Ferrari that was there or at least the only one he took photos of anyway:

    http://members.lycos.co.uk/yellowdieselgolf/Vortex/autofest05/

    He also has a folder called Autofest04:

    http://members.lycos.co.uk/yellowdieselgolf/Vortex/autofest04/

    BTW: The photographer lists his location as "Albury, NSW Australia" if that helps.

    = = = = = =

    SPEEDCORE - Thanks for the additional photos. It seems to look great from every angle. :cool:

    I didn't realise that you could get such plates in the ACT. My first instinct was WA also. There you go.

    I don't like the gold rims actually. Black or white rims are the go IMO. Also not sure about the splitter; I like them to look how Pininfarina intended.

    Thats me in the top picture!!!!! (head turned in the 2004 ferrari jacket with marlboro patches) This car has an amazing history. Also i can tell you that in pictures the gold wheels dont look the best but in real life it is amazing. I have personally been driven in this car and can say it's nothing like any road going ferrari i have ever been in. Also sometimes there is a MASSIVE cf wing on the back, i will try and get some pics

    So, are there any 355C that are not road registered then?? (Dean Savage has one I think?).

    Well, there are 2 355C owned by "Peters"

    perhaps both are wankers..........:D
