About this specific vehicle
Rare Grigio Mettalic on black leather example of the iconic 348 TB in excellent condition: interior, exterior and mechanics. Bought in Rome at Ferrari Samocar back in 1990, the car spent most of its life in Italy before being imported to Belgium and then relocating to the South of France under its current owner.
The car presents beautifully in its iconic Grigio Mettalic livery, which received a new coating which matches the original colour. The interior is in excellent condition, with near perfect alloys, beautifully kept black leather seats - except for the expected minor scratches and patina on the seat side bolsters. The dashboard, plastics, centre console, glovebox, steering wheel and instrument cluster are in very good condition.
The car is up to date mechanically, having undergone a major service at 53,000kms (currently 56,129 kms on the odometer), including a timing belt change. The brake pads and discs are at 40%, the tyres need changing (the current owner is prepared to change them for the sale). The car is “matching numbers”, and has been expertised by a Ferrari expert (full expertise report available).
The exterior of the car is near immaculate, except for a few minor scratches on the side air intakes, and door openings. Icing on the cake, the original Ferrari toolkit is provided with the original owners manual and stamped service book.
Re-live the early 90s with one of the best kept 348 TBs on the market. A stand out car compared to the more common Rosso Corsa 348s thanks to its rare silver livery and beautiful interior and mechanics.
