2003 FERRARI 360 SPIDER - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• A handsome, low-mileage example of the mid-engined open-top supercar.
• It is powered by the 3.6-litre ‘F131’ V8, which produces 395bhp and drives the rear wheels via the desirable six-speed gated manual transmission.
• The odometer displays only 18,500 miles from new.
• An original UK-market right-hand drive example, this 360 Spider was first registered in May 2003, and was acquired by the seller five years ago.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 360 Spider is finished in the demure hue of Grigio Titanio with Scuderia Ferrari wing shields and a tan leather interior.
• It rides on the correct set of 18-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.
• The car will be accompanied by all of its original handbooks and its stamped service book, which are contained in the correct tan leather document wallet, as well as its full toolkit and indoor cover.

CONDITION

• No known body damage.
• The paintwork is thought to be completely original, and presents particularly well given the car’s age, with only a few minor marks including a handful of minor stone chips on the front bumper, blemishes on the rear edge of the driver’s door and slight bubbling around the offside front repeater.
• The convertible hood is also in very good condition, and fits snugly over the frame, with no rips, tears or significant marks.
• Inside, the cabin is in excellent order, with a very small amount of wear on the driver’s seat outer bolster and ‘stickiness’ on the buttons’ surfaces, which is a common issue in Ferraris of this age, and can now be rectified by a number of specialists.
• The radio is inoperative, but there are no other known electrical faults with the vehicle.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 6 May 2021 at 18,450 miles. This resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects noted.

• This 360’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in October 2019 at 17,823 miles by Ferrari specialist Foskers. As well as a general annual service, this also included replacement of the offside front upper ball joint and gaiters, the track rod end gaiters, and the front and rear brake discs and pads.
• Prior to this, Foskers serviced the car in October 2017 at 17,261 miles, when they replaced the rear brake flexi hoses, the hydraulic clutch divider block, and the upper gearbox supporting bush, also renewing the lower front suspension ball joints.
