FERRARI F348 TS - History:
The Ferrari 348 TS was unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the successor to the Ferrari 328. Designed by Pininfarina under the direction of Leonardo Fioravanti, it stands out for its slatted side panels inspired by the Testarossa and its removable “targa” roof, a hallmark of the TS version. It is powered by a longitudinally mounted 3.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, paired with a transversely mounted five-speed manual transmission. Produced until 1995, the 348 is now a sought-after model, marking the transition between classic Ferraris and the brand’s modern models.
Description:
The vehicle has been taken out of storage after being in storage for at least ten years. Originally delivered new in Italy. No historical documentation accompanies the vehicle.
The bodywork presents a nice overall appearance. The alignment of the doors and windows is generally satisfactory, and the car appears sound. The paintwork looks satisfactory, but several areas have been touched up over the vehicle’s lifetime, and various cosmetic flaws are worth noting. The front hood has been repainted. Its clear coat now shows significant heat-related deterioration, with a matte, cracked appearance in the center. The front bumper has several stone chips as well as scuff marks along its lower lip. A slight crack is also visible in the lower right corner. The left front fender and the left door appear to retain their original paint. The door has a few light scratches from normal use but no major defects. The left rear fender has been repainted. A difference in shade is noticeable compared to the adjacent parts, and cracking in the paint is visible at the junction with the roof pillar—a defect also observed on the other side of the vehicle. The hood appears to retain its original paint. There are several chips in the paint along its rear edge, as well as a few superficial scratches. The right rear fender has localized cracking at the junction with the roof pillar. The right door, which appears to have its original paint, has a slight dent on its upper portion as well as some signs of wear. The right front fender has been repainted and shows a slight difference in color compared to the door. Some paint-matching imperfections are noticeable depending on the lighting. The lower body panels show some superficial scuffs on their undersides. The original wheels are fitted to all four wheels. They have several scratches and chips on the rims. The wheel nuts show slight surface oxidation. The tires still have satisfactory tread depth but show cracks on the sidewalls and date from 2003. Replacing them is recommended before putting the vehicle back on the road. The exterior seals are intact but show slight signs of aging. Surface corrosion is visible around the windshield opening, beneath the driver-side seal—an area that will require monitoring.
The interior is complete but shows signs of wear. The leather upholstery needs to be re-dyed. The center console has a missing veneer. The dashboard shows no warping, which is a positive feature for this model. The tools are present in both compartments, along with the bulb kit (see photos).
The engine compartment is complete. The engine bears the number F119G 040 29878. No attempt has been made to start the engine, and a complete mechanical overhaul will be essential before the car can be put back on the road.
Overall, this Ferrari has a good-quality body with an attractive overall appearance. The defects noted mainly involve old paint touch-ups, some color variations, chips, scratches, and localized cracks, though no obvious structural issues were observed during the visual inspection.
The vehicle is sold without any registration documents, service records, or owner’s manual. The buyer must complete all necessary procedures in accordance with the regulations of their country.
