NO RESERVE!

Make no mistake, this needs a LOT of work. One of circa just 18 RHD 355 Challenge delivered to the UK, this was delivered in 1996 and was driven with success by Ian Khan in the UK and European Championships, according to information found online it finished 5th overall in the Western Europe Ferrari Challenge which is no mean feat.

Anyway, with its best days clearly behind it the car somehow found its way to South Africa which is where we purchased it from. It was street registered there (papers accompany the car) so it is assumed the same should be possible in the UK where a number of others have already achieved street registration also.

Today the car can only be regarded as a restoration project, our list of observations should be regarded as not limiting the extent of what is wrong/ missing with the car and only as an opinion. Inspection is quick frankly essential in our opinion and anybody who bids without satisfying themselves prior to purchase shall have no recourse – this is a 10 day listing and inspection is easy to arrange by appointment. We have the car in a professional storage facility that requires just 24 hours notice so please please come and take a look.

Observations regarding the car that we would like to make any potential party aware of;

– the engine is not the original and is of a later (355) type
– several panels are fibreglass; doors (no side windows also), bonnet, engine cover, front wings, front bumper
– no ECU, partial loom in situ
– modified dashboard
– no seats/ interior
– no front floor panel
– Perspex 3/4 and rear windows
– no pop up lights

This list is limited, this car is NOT in good condition. it does though retain the original (F40 LM type) brakes, wheels and what we assume to be correct anti-roll bars and shocks.

All considered though this does give the buyer the chance to buy a genuine right hand drive 355 Challenge at a fraction of what they are considered to be worth right now (circa £150k), this is a long way (money and time) off being comparable but the car should be a welcome addition to the various relevant series’ that are starting to incorporate these modern classic race cars.

Any questions please email info@markdonaldson.com and we can also send a full set of images.

This 1990 Ferrari 348TS is a former participant in the Ferrari 348 Challenge—a single-marque/single-model racing-series run under the auspices of the Ferrari Racing Department Corso Cliente. The series began in 1993 across the European Continent, but it expanded its participation base to the U.S. in 1994. The Challenge cars were directly derived from the street-legal 348 models with the following minor changes: a 20 HP increase to the engine, a low-restriction exhaust system, racing tires, modified brakes and specific dynamic air intakes. The Challenge cars were also equipped with mandatory safety equipment that included a roll cage, racing seats, 6-point harness, fire extinguisher, front tow hook and electric circuit breaker. The top contenders from each of the participating countries would meet for the world final at Mugello, Italy, to determine the overall series champion. This car was campaigned in 1994 and 1995, and it has an esteemed racing history with two podium finishes at Moroso Motorsports Park, as well as participation at the world final in Mugello in 1994. This is a unique Ferrari in that it has provenance as a racing car, is a Cavallino Platinum Concours award winner, is street legal in its current configuration and is easily converted to racing specification. In terms of racing participation, the car comes with the authentic and requisite parts that will allow it to run in the U.S.-based Ferrari Club Racing Championship—open to all Challenge cars—but not affiliated with the official Ferrari Racing Department Corso Cliente. With 27,155 believed-original miles, this car has undergone a major service. If you want to maintain it as a street-legal road car, this beautiful Rosso Red with tan leather example comes complete with original touring seats, air conditioning and original seat belts.
