The latter, with its four seats, well-appointed interior, and - relatively - soft ride, was considered far too sensible to be a 'proper' Ferrari; the F355 though, was cast in the mold of that great driver's car, the Dino 246 GT. The heart of the F355 though, was its phenomenal 3.5-liter V8 engine. Equipped with four overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder - a layout borrowed from Ferrari's Formula 1 engine - this remarkable unit produced a claimed 375bhp. A semi-automatic paddle-shift or six-speed manual gearbox ensured a sufficiency of ratios to keep the motor on the boil whatever the situation. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This stunning 355 was purchased new in Beverly Hills on May 20th, 1996 by the famed comedian, Martin Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence wonderfully spec'd the spider in Rosso Monza over a full black leather interior with the all mighty 6-speed manual shift transmission. Mr. Lawrence would enjoy his drop top Ferrari in southern California for the next 20 years before finally parting ways with the Italian beauty. Over his 20 years of stewardship, Mr. Lawrence religiously carried out services at the selling dealer, Ferrari Maserati of Beverly Hills. Every service receipt is extensively documented in the cars impressive maintenance log. Also accompanying the car are its original books, tools, tire inflation kit, interior covers, and Mr. Lawrence's motor vehicle purchase contract from May 20th, 1996. The combination of only covering 8,700 miles from new, being maintained by the Ferrari with an open check book, and spending its life in Southern California, has left the car in fantastic condition. Widely considered one of the best looking and most exciting mid-engined Ferraris to come from the wizards in Maranello in the last 30 years, this F355 Spider is ready to snick through twisty mountain roads with a smile inducing driving experience and beautiful music erupting from the quad tailpipes.
