    Yeah those wheels look larger than OEM size in those renderings.

    The real life photos look amazing though. Beautiful colour combination. GLWS

    Hi Mats, sorry taking up old thread but I have owned this car for very long time ago :cool:

    I dont know if you know the full story of this car? This car have been in 2x accidents as far as I know, 1x of them was very small when I used to own it. But the accident before was from my understanding very big and resulted in all front of the car smashed.

    I found out the hard way and also by doing my own due diligence and calling all of the owners and people in the community. Maybe thats why you try sell this car outside Norway?

    First of all the car is not 1997 model its 1999 by VIN number. The story is in 1997 yellow F355 Berlinetta caught fire and was totaled so by rule in Norway its possible to use that title to import new car without pay any tax or VAT. But doing so you have to use the engine + transmission from old car in the new. I was told by the mechanic that they bought this car 1998/1999 from Damgaard-Nielsen (main Ferrari dealer) in Denmark. They tok out the engine + transmission "new car" and put in VAN and imported the car without transmission + engine (but they had that in the VAN. They told government in Norway that they will use the old engine + transmission from fire 1997 car in this 1998/99 car and got the Norwegian license plates. After that they put the 98/99 engine + transmission back in (so nothing from the 1997 car was used and thats good thing). So this car is 1999 as you also will see if you check with Ferrari factory.

    When I bought the car I saw the car had original Ferrari shields on both fenders, but I checked this old article they had with this car https://dinside.dagbladet.no/motor/test-ferrari-f355---nar-hesten-broler/62648053 there was no shields...

    I also saw one of the headlight was some more down than the other one (dont remember what side now). So I called a lot of the old owners to get the full story. One of the owners Gisle he is owner of big car dealership in Norway he used to own this car, under his ownership he borrowed the car to some customer that crashed the car in mountain and got the front fully smashed so when the car was fixed they put new fenders on the car both side with factory shields..

    Also the challenge grill was something I put on the car

    Also if you check the service book you will see a lot stamps missing, because long time some owners had put the service book under the driver seat. When I bought the car they told me the service book was missing and I found it under the driver seat :D

    I dont know the story after my ownership maybe the car have been all sorted out now.

    Thats a crazy story on this car, hopefully who ever bought it had these major accident facts disclosed to them- It sure is a beautiful car though, if the price was right, i'd have no issue buying assuming it was fixed right
