Up for sale is a 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, which is possibly the best-configured model in the history of this specific car. Rea has shown his impeccable taste by opting for a refined Blu Scuro Micalizzato paintwork, as opposed to the oft-used Rosso Corsa red.
This exterior is beautifully offset by a cream interior complete with luxurious thick leather trim. The distinctive, metallic gear shift lever, complete with a characteristic chrome guide typical of the 90s, provides a striking focal point.
Despite nearing 30 years old, this car still impresses with its combination of style and capability. This is largely thanks to the 3.5-litre V8 engine that produces 376 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 184 mph.
So far, the car has clocked just over 25,000 miles. According to the seller, it remains in impeccable technical condition. A 1995 F355 typically sells for around £120,000, but due to this specific model's unique history and configuration, the final price could far exceed this.
