1993 Ferrari 348 | Millom, Cumbria

A 1993 Ferrari 348, the mid-engined V8 sports car that sat between the 328 and the F355. It is known for its Testarossa-style side strakes, wide doors and grille-covered rectangular tail lamps. Later reviewers have also come to appreciate its steering, which has no power assistance and gives an analogue feel. This car is red with a cream interior, a strong contrast that shows well whenever the doors are open. The 3.4-litre V8 sits behind the two seats, and the body is low and wide, so it fills the frame with a strong 1990s shape. Those sharp lines and straked flanks suit period Ferrari photography, advertising and music video work. Fashion and editorial shoots get a bold silhouette to build a frame around, and film and TV productions set in the 1990s get a car of the right age. It also suits a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in Carlisle, Cumbria.
