F355 with fiorano handling pack

[355fiorano]

Wow thats great, i have been loking for a Blue Manual Fiorano car, wasn't even sure one existed, sounds like you'll never sell it - but if you do... please please let me know...

Just at the first page of this thread it shows all the RHD original factory foirano cars. In TDF i have the only manual and there is one F1 berlineta and one spider.
It was my ideal spec and took me c 18 months to find. The only thing it didn’t have was the carbon seats which I then bought from maranello (their last pair apparently).

At some point I will have to sell it but I am hoping I will be able to keep it for at least the next 10 years

You'd think I'd have loads... I went to look and apart from a couple of recent ones with the kids sitting inside, some of the cars in the car park and the pics I take every time i get to the next 1000 miles there are not too many and none of the nice ones. I have loads in my older computer that I have not transferred but when you have a car so long (2003) you stop taking more pics after 3/4 years. From 2015 onwards all the pics are of the Stradale.
Anyhow ... slightly underwhelming but here is one in the car park!
I will make a note to get some new ones ...
P.S when I went to upload I saw there were some older images saved in my profile so I added one more.

Thanks for uploading some photos - looks great with those Cream racing seats. Please do give me a shout if you ever decide to sell, it'll go nicely next to my blue 348tb

Hi Mark, I believe we own your car! I have just checked through the service record and the car was supplied by Evans Halshaw in Birmingham in June 1999. The car is 1999 Maura Berlinetta in Rosso Corsa, Bordeaux carpets, Crema leather - I don’t have the original order form but a Ferrari dealer print that shows the options added were Fiorano Handling Pack, Scuderia Shields, 6cd changer, luggage. I would love to be able to get a copy of the original order form if that is possible? Car currently has 21000 miles and is immaculate. I will try and share photos, but I am not good at this!

Must be 2 x Red Berlinetta Manuals then as there is one with black/Red sports interior too.

Hi Greg,

I wouldn't necessarily add to the list all that are for sale with a fiorano pack as there were quite a few that were retrofitted. I remember Verdi and a couple of other indies use to offer a fiorano conversion kit as an upgrade. Best to get the numbers directly from Ferrari or maybe jtremlett can jump in an verify form his own database. I would think the conversions would be just as good so long as they changed the whole kit with genuine parts but form my old conversations back way when, I heard that it was a modular thing so some just got a few of the mods and not all.

Thanks for this, very interesting. Would be great to verify the list of factory delivered FHP cars.
Will try and dig some more..

Hi Philip,

I have been doing quite alot of research into these cars, you are correct I have seen a few standard cars that have some modifications, there are also later cars to be aware of that were spec'd from factory with elements of the Fiorano pack - on the face of it this car that sold on Sunday https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1998-ferrari-f355-berlinetta-1 looks like a Fiorano car and was previously advertised as a Fiorano car, but when i researched further found it to be the spec is a below.

I also have an updated list of cars from a very reliable Ferrari source, this is what he believes are the HDL 1 optioned cars delivered to the UK:

F355 Berlinetta - 2 Rosso Corsa - 1 Blu TDF - 1 Nero Daytona
F355 GTS – none
F355 Spider - 2 Rosso Corsa - 1 Blu TDF

355 F1 Belinetta - 9 Rosso Corsa - 1 Blu TDF - 1 Giallo - 1 Titanium
355 F1 GTS - 2 Nero - 4 Rosso Corsa - 1 Giallo (Giallo one currently for sale - https://www.tfcgb.com/used-cars/15669009-ferrari-355-gts-f1-fiorano-handling-package/)
355 F1 Spider - 3 Rosso Corsa - 1 Giallo - 1 Blu TDF

I have tracked down the black manual berlinetta and this is optioned as below.
