Post by challenger24 »

French title Chassis No. ZFFPA41B000101046 - Rare F355 Challenge with French registration - Winner in 1995 and 1996 of the Challenge Ferrari Europe - A true performance racing car - No reserve The model on offer is a Ferrari F355 Challenge, first registered on March 2, 1995. It was one of 109 units made of the type F129 AB. The car has covered nearly 32,700 km, comes with a French registration and has an excellent competition history. It was the Challenge Ferrari Europe West Champion in 1995 and 1996 with the talented driver Lucien Guitteny (race record available on the online catalog). The car was then modified to compete in the French Championship FFSA GT from 1997 to 1999, and then it participated in some more competitions in 2000. Its current owner bought it in 2010 for hill climbs during the seasons 2010 and 2011. It was raced by Jean-Pierre Jarrier in Saint Gouëno, which explains his signature on the dashboard. The car comes with a FFSA passport dated 18 June, 2010. This Challenge is in a "competition" configuration with its roll hoop, two Sparco bucket seats and a carbon spoiler. The engine was changed in 2011 for a similar engine, which was prepared and serviced and tested as well as the clutch and the brakes. The shock absorbers were serviced at DA Competition. The car will be delivered with two additional doors. Here is a unique opportunity to drive a high-performance car that is capable of being driving as easily on the road, as on the track. race history : 7 meetings - 2 races per meeting 1995 : Paul Ricard : 1st / 3rd Spa : 1st / 1st Zandvoort: 1st / 2nd Donington : 3rd / 2nd Nogaro: 1st / 2nd Mugello : 1st / 1st 1996 : Paul Ricard: 1st / 1st Brands Hatch : 3rd / 3rd Spa : 1st / 1st Zandvoort : 2nd / 1st Donington : 2nd / 2nd Nogaro : 1st / 1st Mugello : 2nd / 2nd Estimation 60 000 - 80 000 € - See more at: http://www.artcurial.com/en/asp/fullcat ...

Good find, famous driver and car with very good history, but....

Almost everything has been changed, a lot of challenge parts missing...and
the body is in a poor shape. Will be a full restauation with a lot of effort
and much much money.
I suppose, bring her back to a collectors shape you need 40000€ at least!

cheap estimate ... could worth it if it goes for less then 100.
the good point is that the car is street legal
may be one of the last chance to get one of those car at a low price...
in my opinion 40 KE to put it back is a too low estimate. and personally i' d rather have an untouched one
Artcurial did a fantastic paint job on the wheels ! very shiny .....:-)

Fair priced in this condition

The 1995 Guitteny car was one of the most succesfull 355 Challenge cars.
I think its worth a restauration, even the car has a poor shape.
