For Sale: 2001 Ferrari 360 F1 Spider | £69,995 - Four Marks Supercar Owners Club

Here we have for sale a perfect specification Ferrari 360 F1 Spider. The car has been fastidiously maintained by Ferrari Main Dealers and has completed 38,000 miles. It has been with the current owner for the past 9 years.

More than £10,000 spent in the past 12 months on: Service, Clutch, Cam Belts, Front End Restoration, PPF and full detailing (invoices to prove).

Originally supplied by Maranello Concessionaires in Egham, Surrey, this is the ‘holy grail’ spec, and more valuable, red over magnolia, ‘Challenge’ grilles front and rear, Bordeaux Carpets and the F1 style paddle shift version of the manual gearbox.

When not in use, the Ferrari has resided inside the owner’s garage, under a genuine Ferrari car-cover and the battery placed on a genuine Ferrari battery conditioner.

Setting the scene

In 2001, Ferrari were celebrating winning the Formula 1 World Championship in the previous year (2000), with F1 legend Michael Schumacher and are at the leading edge of automotive technology. The dash board of this car has a commemorative badge saying ‘Campioni del Mondo 2000’ translating to ‘Champions of the World 2000’ (see photo below in gallery). Ferrari go on to win the world championship in this year (2001) again with Schumacher taking it for them.

Reason for sale

The owner says ‘My budget has allowed me to purchase a newer Ferrari. If I had the space and the budget, I would look to keep the 360, not just because I love driving it, not because it’ll be a better noise than a newer one, but also the 360 is sighted as to the ‘one that got away’ by many that have continued to move to newer Ferraris. One of the last great analogue cars before more and more computers were added. Already considered a ‘Milestone Ferrari’ model and set to perform very well financially’.

About the 360

The 360 was Ferrari’s first ever all-aluminium car that was 40% stiffer than the outbound Ferrari F355 which had utilized steel. The design was 28% lighter (some 60kg) despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from traditions of the previous decade’s sharp angles and flip-up headlights. The new V8 engine utilises a 3.6-litre capacity, a flat plane crankshaft and titanium connecting rods. According to Ferrari the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time improved from 4.7 to 4.5 seconds.
