Clarkson's Ferrari F355 GTB Up for Grabs!
4 Nov
Summary
- Jeremy Clarkson's Ferrari F355 GTB, owned in 1996, is up for auction.
- The supercar is estimated to sell for over double Clarkson's original purchase price.
- The car has 15,000 miles and a manual gearbox, making it highly desirable.
A remarkable Ferrari F355 GTB, previously owned by television personality Jeremy Clarkson, is scheduled for auction. Clarkson acquired this mid-engined supercar in 1996, documenting its purchase on his hit BBC series Top Gear. The vehicle, which has since changed hands multiple times, has recorded 15,000 miles.
Iconic Auctioneers will present the Ferrari F355 GTB at the NEC in Birmingham on November 14. With a guide price estimated between £200,000 and £250,000, it is anticipated to sell for more than double the approximately £95,000 Clarkson paid three decades ago. Its V8 engine and manual gearbox contribute to its significant collector value.
Car specialist Harry Fox-Edwards highlighted the car's unique character and history. He noted that original correspondence confirming Clarkson as the first owner adds substantial appeal. The car's low mileage, manual transmission, and rare sports seats make it an especially attractive prospect for Ferrari collectors.
