Introduced in 1989, the Ferrari 348 TB represents the first of the second generation of models with a mid-rear V8 engine.
It features a completely redesigned look compared to the Ferrari 328 GTB/GTS, which it replaces. This model is equipped with the new 3.4-liter V8 engine, positioned transversely, which had already proven its reliability in the final generation of the Mondial, named "T." This naming highlights the significant technical evolution. Like its predecessors, the Ferrari 308 and 328 (representing the first generation of rear V8 models), the 348 was also offered in an open version known as the 348 TS, featuring a targa roof.
Starting in 1993, the lineup was expanded with a fully convertible version: the 348 Spider, the first fully open-top model with a V8 engine.
This particular example of the 348 has low mileage, with only 41,000 kilometers on the odometer.
The color combination, Rosso Corsa red with a black leather interior, is both classic and highly sought after. The car was delivered new in July 1991 by the Motor Spa dealership in Modena, Italy — the hometown of Enzo Ferrari. It has a full service history, tracing its journey from its delivery to its arrival in Belgium in 2015, where it then had 31,415 kilometers on the clock. A major service was performed by a Ferrari specialist in 2022 (invoice available in the file).
The bodywork is in impeccable condition, without a single scratch, dent, or blemish.
One notable feature is a tasteful and unique aesthetic addition: embossed Scudetti in aluminum integrated into the front fenders. This customization was not available at the time and makes this model virtually one of a kind. The roof shows slight wear, but it is minimal and unobtrusive.
The interior is equally flawless.
The leather upholstery is in pristine condition, the dashboard is immaculate, and the plastics are not sticky. Everything functions perfectly, including the recently recharged air conditioning.
Mechanically, there are no expenses to anticipate.
In October 2022, a full service was carried out, including the timing belt, at 40,534 kilometers. The car's maintenance history is thoroughly documented, with invoices from recent years and a stamped service booklet. The tires are recent, and a new battery has been installed.
The last technical inspection, carried out in November 2021 at 39,765 kilometers, showed no remarks. The car is sold complete, including the tool kit, all original documents, the leather Ferrari folder containing the user manuals, both keys, etc.
An appraisal report from 2017 confirms the vehicle's exceptional condition.
At that time, the car was already valued in the upper range of its price bracket, reaffirming that this is truly an outstanding example in impeccable condition.
