Description

1993 Ferrari 348 ts Serie Speciale

Pampered and protected says it all. Garage kept and covered Ferrari that has been meticulously maintained and detailed. The 1st owner purchased this rare numbered (52 0f 100) Ferrari 348 in September 1993 from Classic Ferrari of Richardson Texas for $105,500.00 + Special Added Luxury tax of $7,550.00 +Texas Sales tax $5,718.75 = $118,768.00 for this incredibly rare 348. He kept and drove the car sparingly until 2000 when it was sold to another local resident and Ferrari enthusiast with 4,819 miles. Dennis Collins spotted the car and found the condition was as close to new as he had seen on a 348. I purchased this beauty from Dennis transported via enclosed trailer to Naples, L and immediately invested over $10,000 this past August. Complete engine out service including all belts, earings, lugs, ngine seals, am seals, ll fluids, ew oxygen sensors, C evac & recharge, ew air/oil/fuel filters, ater pump, rakes, ew tires, lutch flywheel cleaned, ew AP clutch plate, ew seals, 00cc K grease and new triple seals. Service performed by the renowned Eric at F1 Imports in Naples, L. His words "this is the finest example both cosmetically and mechanically I have seen in any Ferrari of this age." He has seen more than his fair share of well kept examples and rates this highest. I have complete photo history of the engine out service.

Just showed her at Cars on Fifth and the attention she received really shocked me. 360's, 30's, nd 458's all around me (not another 348 to be found). I saw more photos taken of this 348 than any of the nearby cars. It's happening... the public is giving the 348 the love it deserves. This means increasing values.

Leather manual and toolbox, riginal car cover and bag are included along with 2 original keys, riginal Serie Speciale sales brochure and all service records. Everywhere you look she is clean, actory stickers and badges still hold a brand new look (we have all seen how the stickers peel and fade when left dirty or get wet). Car has never seen rain or a hose for that matter. It's rare, ut she has just been protected! Sticky parts all resolved, aint looks amazing with great gloss and depth (some small chips at nose expected), eather and dash are excellent, ever painted or in an accident of any kind, lean carfax (no stories). You do not want a car with stories to explain when you sell one day.

Known issues: 1- glove box strut to hold the lid open is dead (doesn't bother most and from what I have seen it is a $20 or so part, just haven't gotten to it 2- super small ding in rear fender (most don't notice, do).

Come see her, end your designee to have a look, chedule a PPI, all Eric at F1. This car is being marketed in multiple locations and I reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells elsewhere.

When you look at a Serie Speciale closely and read its list of impressive options you immediately realize that this is and will continue to be a highly sought after car. This exceptional example has complete books and records and has only 15,148 actual miles. With its extremely low production figure, ow miles and very unique options this 348 Serie Speciale deserves to be in a private collection with other high caliber cars.

348 Serie Speciale

In 1993 Ferrari made 100 units of the 348 Serie Speciale of tb and ts versions. It was a limited edition only made for the US market.

The main technical modifications consisted in:

  • A revised engine produced 312bhp at 7,200rpm
  • A wider rear track (50mm)
  • A free flow exhaust system
  • A shorter ratio final drive and Pirelli P Zero tires
  • Ferrari indicates a 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and a standing ¼ miles in 13.75 seconds

Several modifications were made to the body design as well:

· New front spoiler to optimize aerodynamics similar to the F40

  • New front grill with chrome prancing horse
  • Bumpers and rocker panels in body color
  • Engine cover in body color
  • Modified taillight assembly
  • New rear grill with chrome prancing horse
  • The door panels were also modified and made of leather
The Serie Speciale cars were offered with optional F40 style sport Carbon Fiber Racing Seats in Connolly leather. Own this car and you will get insane offers for these seats alone.

Each car is numbered (1 to 100), ith a 348 Serie Speciale plate on the passenger’s side door-post. My car is #52 and its designated on a plate on the passenger’s side door panel.

In 1994, further 15 additional units were produced, ringing the total production of this limited edition to 115.

This car is expected to continue to escalate in value over it is believed to be one of the best examples in existence. Low production Ferraris of similar years are bringing multiples of their original selling price and this example is on track to follow.
