Ferrari 348 Spider 1993
General description :
This Ferrari 348 Spider was delivered new via Maranello Concessionaires of Egham, Surrey on 01/10/93 to a Mr George Woo of London, finished in Nero over a Nero leather interior – the same specification it wears today.
This Ferrari 348 Spider is accompanied a scrupulously assorted history file dating back as early as October 1988 when Mr Woo initially enquired about a 328. He was informed that the factory would no longer produce the 328 and subsequently sent a price list for the all-new 348, evident from multiple letters of correspondence made between himself and Maranello Concessionaires. The first letter from Maranello Concessionaires confirms Mr Woo’s deposit of £5,000, followed by further correspondence, a final order form and invoice confirming the 348 Spider’s specification which included a sports exhaust priced at £925.00.
This highly original example is presented in excellent condition throughout and retains a fastidiously assorted history including the original bill of sale. The 348 has been comprehensively maintained by Furlonger in recent years and has just been serviced with a clean bill of health by our technicians.The 348 Spider is a remarkably rare car, with just 68 supplied to the U.K. market in right-hand drive. One of a handful optioned in Nero and showing a mileage of just 7,700, this car would make a suitable addition to the finest of collections. The 348 is an enticing prospect for those wish to experience a profoundly underrated supercar with a manual transmission, and we believe this is one of the best in existence.
This car retains its original Schedoni leather document wallet, handbooks and both keys.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
