Hello and thank you for looking at my Ferrari. I want
to provide you with as much information about this vehicle as possible. If
there is anything that you would like to know that is not listed here, please
let me know, and I will respond to your questions.
I am the third owner of this vehicle. The first was from Connecticut and purchased the car from Miller Motorcars in Greenwich Connecticut. It was purchased on August 26, of 1993. He traded it in to the same dealer at the end of 2001. It was then purchased by the second owner, a fellow from Annapolis, MD, at the end February of 2002. At the time of transfer, the vehicle had 4,339 miles on it. I purchased it from the second owner in 2010, at which time the vehicle had just over 8200 miles on it. The car has always been stored inside. It has been serviced at 2 Ferrari dealerships, Miller Motorcars in Greenwich Connecticut, Ferrari of Washington, and by Competizione in Gaithersburg, MD. I had Competizione do a pre-purchase inspection and subsequent major service. I have all service records for the car. The last major was extensive. The major items were timing belt, Hill bearings, OEM water pump, Tubi Evo stainless exhaust, Hyper-flow catalytic converters, silicon hose set, new tires all around, and much more. The major service is paper and photo documented. The front air dam was pulled and repainted due to some scraps. Skid plates were added. During this time all the plastic interior parts where removed and refinished by Sticky-No-More. All total more than $20K was invested. Since this work, the car has been driven about 2,000 miles. This car needs nothing and is near museum quality. It has a few after market items, such as a steering wheel
that can easily be return to stock, I have the original parts. The steering wheel was changed and a hub
extension added to make the car more suitable to its current, quite tall,
driver.
Tires are new and there is no curb rash on any of the rims, period! Condition is subjective and of opinion. Please feel free to
inspect the photos and come and see the car yourself. That said I am in no hurry to sell it. I'm not leaving for a while (still preparing the boat). This is probable the best example of a 348 you will find. I believe this car will only grow in value over the years. Yes, you can find cheaper ones, but to get one in this condition and with such low miles is difficult. You get what you pay for and I think this car is fairly priced. Please don't waist my time with low ball offers, and please no tire kickers looking for a joy ride. Again to repeat, this car is clean, clean, clean. The engine bay is beautiful. It still has the insulation in place on the under side of rear deck engine hatch. Often on 348s it is missing or falling apart. The interior is a 10 and the leather is gorgeous, including the driver seat. That's hard to find. Of all the 348s, the 1994/95 Spiders are the ones to own. If you are considering the 348, you need to see this one. Yes you can find cheaper, and and then spend twenty grand getting it up to the standard of this car, but then you'd most likely still have a car with more miles. This car, with such low miles, can be bought, enjoy for some years, and you'd still have a high value low mileage car to sell.
All parts removed from the car, such as exhaust, cats,
steering wheel and such, should you wish to return the car to fully stock. The following is some general information for those not familiar with the 348 -From the my348 website - "You've got to drive this car! The Ferrari 348 Spider elicits waves, honks, stares, and constant calls from nearby motorists and pedestrians alike. Ordinary drivers morph into paparazzi, turning their digital cameras and video recorders on to film your every move as you drive by with the top down." The Ferrari 348 is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive, V8-powered 2-seat sports car. It replaced the 328 in 1989 and was produced through 1995. More than 8,000 348s were produced and sold worldwide. Only 556 Spiders were imported to the U.S. The car's straked side air intakes give it a Testarossa look (because of this it is sometimes considered a kid brother to the Testarossa). The 348 features a naturally aspirated 3.4 liter version of the quad-cam, 4-valve per cylinder V8 engine which was originally found in the 288 GTO supercar. In the early models the engine produced 300 hp (224 kW). It sits longitudinally with a transverse gearbox, like the Mondial T with which the 348 shares many components. This was a major switch for Ferrari, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission All 348s were shipped with dual-computer, double-redundant Anti-Lock Braking systems. All 348s were shipped with on-board self-diagnosing Air Conditioning and heating systems. U.S. 348s have functioning on-board OBDI engine management systems. Similar to the Testarossa but departing from the BB 512 and 308/328, the oil and coolant radiators were relocated from the nose to the sides, widening the waist of the car substantially, but making the cabin much easier to cool, since hoses routing warm water no longer ran underneath the cabin as in the older front-radiator cars. All Ferrari 348s use racing "dry-sump" oil systems to prevent oil starvation at high speeds and in hard corners. The oil level can only be checked (accurately) on the dip-stick when the motor is running due to this setup. Likewise, all 348s have independent, corner-adjustable ride/height/weight adjustment abilities built into each suspension, as well as a removable rear sub-frame to speed up the removal of the engine for maintenance. The Spider version came out in 1993. The 348s had many improvements from 1993 onward, featuring subtle styling changes and more power, this time producing 312 bhp (U.S) and 320 hp (Euro) from the same 3.4 liter engine (different exhaust). The lower body was now body-colored instead of black and the rear track was one inch wider due to the addition of spacers. The suspension geometry was revised which greatly enhanced its super-car-level handling, ride, and body control. The alternator was upgraded and the battery moved to a better location to improve balance. I believe the 348 Spider hits the sweet spot in the Ferrari line up. It has pretty much bottomed out in its deprecation curve, and has begun to appreciate. As with all Ferraris, condition, good maintenance records, mileage, and a well documented history make all the difference in price. 348 Spider -

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans
Sat, 22 Jun 2013The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
LaFerrari still being honed at N"urburgring
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ferrari might have jumped the gun debuting the LaFerrari hypercar at the Geneva Motor Show, judging by these spy shots. There have already been rumors that the nearly 1,000-horsepower hybrid still needed some finalizing, but it seems really quite odd that we're seeing cars running with camo six months after the official debut.
So here are our theories as to what this might be. First, the likely case is that this car is merely taking part in finalization of the LaFerrari. The two more sensational theories we've brewed up are a bit more unlikely. This could be a prototype of the once-rumored Maserati MC12 successor, with the camo in place to hide sheetmetal specific to a Maserati. The second, and in our minds, least likely scenario, is that this is a prototype of a more hardcore or competition variant of the LaFerrari, along the lines of the Enzo-based FXX.
Admittedly, that last option is really grasping at straws, but the last camo'd car we saw sported a unique exhaust, that our spy noted as being significantly louder than an uncovered model that was running alongside. While the timing seems odd - a mere six months after the debut of a car that isn't even on sale yet - it's not outside of Ferrari custom to release more potent, track-only versions of its hypercars. Take a look at the spy shots up top, and let us know what you think.
Race Recap: 2015 Canadian F1 Grand Prix is better behind the front
Mon, Jun 8 2015As of Saturday afternoon in Montreal, Canada, it was all about the number four. Lewis Hamilton put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position for the fourth time at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and now his tally of pole positions matches his race number: 44. Nico Rosberg lines up beside him, which is the fourth time that particular one-two combo has occurred this season. Ferrari spent three engine development tokens to try and close the gap to Mercedes, Kimi Raikkonen making the most of it with third position on the gird. His teammate Sebastian Vettel got the worst of it, however, when the MGU-K unit failed during Q1, leaving him 160 horsepower down and out at the first hurdle. Valtteri Bottas put a revitalized Williams on the grid at fourth, ahead of a Lotus lockout of the third row with Romain Grosjean leading the way in fifth, Pastor Maldonado just beside. Nico Hulkenberg got the first Sahara Force India into seventh – the team is still waiting on the upgraded B car that should be available for Austria – ahead of Daniil Kvyat in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing and a "pissed off" Daniel Ricciardo in the second Red Bull. Sergio Perez made it two Force Indias in the top ten, a welcome result from a team performing below expectations of late. When the lights went out, at the very front it was much ado about not that much at all. Hamilton got away clean and stabbed across the track to close the door for Rosberg, giving Raikkonen a chance to take the inside line into Turn 1 in an attempt to clear Rosberg for second place. That didn't happen, leaving the two Mercedes' to run in grid position for the entire race. It wasn't boring – Rosberg stayed close, rubber-banding the time gap to the leader from a little more than one second to just under four seconds, and Montreal is famous for race-rearranging safety cars and on-track incidents. But none of those occurred, so Hamilton crossed the line 2.285 seconds ahead of Rosberg after 70 laps to earn his fourth victory in Canada and the first-ever victory for the Brackley, UK-based Mercedes team. Valtteri Bottas drove his Williams to third position, the first podium place for the team this year and a welcome salve to heal the team's wounds from a poor showing in Monaco. That placing came courtesy of being in the right place at the right time, which was not far behind Raikkonen when the Ferrari driver spun at the hairpin on Lap 28 after his first pit stop.
