1996 Ferrari F355 Spider | Stockport, Greater Manchester

A 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider, the open-top version of Ferrari's compact mid-engined V8 sports car. The model is known for its 3.5-litre engine, which revs to 8,250rpm, and for proportions that look as good with the roof down as up. This Spider is finished in red with a black interior, in excellent condition. Its electrically operated soft top folds almost flush with the rear deck, so the shape stays clean whether the roof is up or down. Red paint against a dark cabin gives photography, fashion and editorial work strong colour to frame, and the open roof puts both occupants in clear view. Music videos and 1990s-set film and TV suit its period sports-car presence, and events can use it as a display piece with the roof folded away. A wedding or birthday hire is a fine use too. The car is based in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
