Ferrari 355 GTS – Carbon Buckets – 1996

This Ferrari 355 GTS was delivered new to the German market in the classic Ferrari color combination of a Rosso Corsa exterior, beautifully complemented by a Nero interior. The car was handed over to its first owner on October 4, 1996, through the Ferrari dealership Autohaus Ulrich.

Notably, it has been tastefully modified with a Challenge exhaust system, a Challenge rear grille, a Bluetooth Alpine head unit with USB, a rearview camera (removable) and, last but not least, the almost impossible-to-find OEM carbon bucket seats, which—if you are lucky enough to find—will often set you back a staggering 30,000 EUR.

The car spent two years in Germany before being imported to the UK in 1998, where it was serviced and maintained by various Ferrari dealerships. It was then imported to Sweden, where it has resided under four different owners since, the two latest being friends of MOTIKON. As the mileage suggests, an exotic car like this 355 GTS is capable of being driven regularly and reliably—something its previous owners have fully understood and taken advantage of.

It has always been serviced and maintained as needed, as evidenced by the accompanying invoice folder and service book, which are packed with stamps documenting approximately €20,000 worth of maintenance since its arrival in Sweden—up until the current owner acquired the car in 2023. Since then, he has enthusiastically invested approximately €30,000 to refine it into the exceptional driver’s car it is today, with all work carried out by the authorized Ferrari dealership Autoropa and MOTIKON partner, Italian car specialist EB Auto.

To conclude, we now present a 355 GTS equipped with the sought-after carbon bucket seats—a fantastic driver’s example that has benefited from extensive maintenance over the past year. The cambelts were changed in November 2023, and the car most recently underwent servicing in the same month. Included in the sale are maintenance invoices, inspection reports, the original tool kit, and Ferrari literature and service books.
