1996 Ferrari F355

Finished in elegant Blu Swaters Metallic over Tan Connolly leather, this European-specification 1996 Ferrari F355 GTB (ZFFPR41B000104714) is a beautifully maintained example showing 31,575 kilometers (19,620 miles). Delivered new in France to a long-term owner who operated several Renault-Peugeot dealerships, the car remained under careful stewardship before being imported to Canada in 2022. It subsequently passed through two specialist dealers before arriving in the U.S. in 2025.

The F355 GTB signaled a turning point in Ferrari’s engineering, pairing Pininfarina’s aerodynamic refinement with the 3.5-liter 40-valve V8 engine producing 375 horsepower. This early-production car benefits from Ferrari’s Bosch Motronic 2.7 engine-management system, valued by enthusiasts for its dual-ECU layout and more responsive throttle characteristics compared with later 5.2 cars. Combined with a gated six-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential, it offers an authentic and engaging analog driving experience.

The Blu Swaters paintwork presents beautifully following a 2022 paint correction and ceramic coating, with some historical refinishing noted. The car rides on refinished 18-inch five-spoke magnesium wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, with Ferrari-branded calipers and ventilated discs providing confident stopping power. Inside, the cabin remains remarkably well-preserved, featuring supple Connolly leather, a gated shifter, aluminum pedals, automatic climate control, and a modern Continental Bluetooth stereo discreetly integrated for practicality. The sticky switchgear—common to this era—has been refinished, and overall presentation is excellent.

Recent maintenance has included an engine-out timing-belt service, installation of Tubi Style exhaust manifolds, refinished wheels, new tires, replacement of ball joints, and a thorough paint correction and ceramic coating. The air-conditioning system has been recharged, hood struts and wiper blades replaced, and the handbrake adjusted, ensuring the car is fully sorted and ready for use.

Accompanied by its original tool kit and service records, this F355 GTB combines documented European provenance, a rare color combination, and extensive recent servicing. It represents an opportunity to own one of Ferrari’s most balanced and aesthetically pure modern classics—offering the raw sound, feedback, and engineering precision that defined the marque’s analog era.
