1990 Ferrari 348 TB

Highlights

  • Low mileage
  • Performs brilliantly
  • Recently serviced
  • Plenty of paperwork & history

The Appeal

First introduced in 1989, the 348 was the well-received successor to the dated Ferrari 328. 

It would compete against the likes of the Honda NSX, Porsche 911, and Lotus Esprit, ultimately being crowned as one of the greatest driver-focused vehicles of all time. 
Often regarded as one of the more iconic Ferrari designs, the 348 takes inspiration from the likes of the Testarossa and F40, and now stands as one of the few examples from what is arguably the golden era of Ferrari styling. 
For those looking for a retro, driver-focused Ferrari, with one of the greatest V8 soundtracks available, the 348 presents superb value for money and should be considered by all.

The History and Paperwork

  • Fully stamped service booklet
  • Original handbook
  • First Registered in the UK in 1998
  • Dry stored and well cared for
  • V5C present
This beautiful Ferrari began life in its home country of Italy and would later see the UK roads in 1998. 

Over the years, the vehicle continued to cover few miles on an annual basis with its previous owners and would then be purchased from a Ferrari specialist by the current owner. 

As the MOT history will reflect, the vehicle has barely been used throughout its time with the current keeper and now awaits a new home, where it will hopefully be enjoyed as intended.
This beautiful 348 TB comes with a fantastic collection of paperwork, which includes previous MOT certificates, the V5C document ready for the new owner, and invoices for previous maintenance. 

Also included is the original handbook, and service booklet, which is fully stamped up to the vehicle’s near current mileage. 

The Interior

  • Classic black leather 
  • Excellent condition
  • Minimal and driver-focused
  • Original interior
The interior of this Ferrari is in excellent condition and has been rather well preserved over the years. 

It's one of those cars that lets you know exactly what it is about from the moment you open the door and see the “Ferrari” embossed kick plates. 

The interior is rather minimal, with Ferrari clearly favouring a driver-focused cabin as opposed to filling the car with needless luxury comforts. 
As one may expect considering the low mileage of the vehicle, the sporty 3-spoke steering wheel, controls, and other contact points are in excellent condition and show very few signs of age. 

Doorcards, carpet, floor mats, the headliner, and all accompanying trim pieces follow suit, and could quite easily fool you of their actual age. 

Both black leather seats are also in great condition, with the driver’s seat showing slightly more signs of wear than the passenger’s side. That being said, the seat remains rather comfortable and certainly doesn’t detract from the driving experience in any way. 

The Exterior

  • Desirable red paintwork
  • Iconic Ferrari 5 spoke wheels
  • Great condition for the vehicle’s age
The 348 is arguably one of Ferrari’s finest designs, with many enthusiasts able to recognize the iconic retro styling right away. And, is it even a Ferrari if it’s not red? 
This gorgeous Ferrari is in great condition for the vehicle’s age, with the exterior doing a fantastic job of reflecting just how few miles the car has covered since it was produced. 

With just a few easily rectifiable signs of age showing on the paintwork, the car still looks absolutely stunning to this day and will quite easily rival plenty of cars on the road. 

There are a few boxes that a true Ferrari needs to tick, and 5 spoke wheels are towards the very top of that list. All 4 wheels are in superb condition and contrast fantastically against the iconic red paintwork. 
Overall, this 348 TB still looks fantastic after all these years. 

The few signs of age that can be found are quite easily rectifiable, ensuring the new owner can have this mighty sports car looking as it did when it left the factory without much difficulty. 

The Mechanics

  • Low mileage
  • Recently serviced, with new fuel pumps installed
  • Runs brilliantly
  • A raw V8 Ferrari
  • Well maintained
Being the last V8 model overseen by Enzo Ferrari, it should come as no surprise that the 348 is one of the rawest Ferraris ever produced. 

The 348 set out to be a driver's car, one that spikes your adrenaline as the revs climb, and fills you with giddy excitement as the V8 sings behind your seat.
Buyers will be pleased to know that this particular example fires up straight away, and performs brilliantly. With no known mechanical or electrical faults, you can rest assured that this mighty Ferrari will perform exactly as Enzo himself intended. 
Over the years, the car has been treated with a range of key maintenance and care. 

Most notable items perhaps, include a new clutch & release bearing in 2001, along with adjusted valve clearances, a new battery, cam belt, and water pump in 2013. 

The current owner will also ensure that the vehicle has a full 12 months' worth of MOT for the lucky new keeper to enjoy.

Summary

This fantastic Ferrari 348 is a shining example of retro Italian styling, & fantastic V8 performance and encapsulates everything we love about Ferrari. 

The car has been well taken care of over the years, showing just shy of 79K on the clock, and is now ready to be enjoyed once more by a truly lucky new owner.
