I got this one from my grandpa. We did some sort of a trade as he accidentally bought a duplicate of this one while I was also about to give him some Ferraris I have in my collection that he doesn't have yet. For me, the F355 shape is what always comes to my mind when I think of Ferrari. I think the reason for that is it came out during my childhood years and I guess it was the most common Ferrari in the magazines at the time. I have seen a fair few examples of this car in the roads here and even now, I still think it looks pretty nice. One thing I remember about this car also is that it was the first road car to be fitted with paddle shifters. This was introduced I believe in the later models of the car, towards the end of its run. Unfortunately, I can't really clearly see the steering wheel on the interior of the casting but from what I can see, I don't think it has the paddle shifters so I listed this one as the 1995 model year instead.
