SCHUMACHER'S FIRST FERRARI UP FOR GRABS
Unique Cars
|Issue 501
A 1996 Ferrari F355 GTS originally owned by seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher is being sold without reserve, by RM Sotheby’s Private Sales division.
-
Finished in Blu Le Mans over Pelle Crema leather, the former Schumacher Ferrari is offered by a Ferrari enthusiast who has owned it for more than 20 years. It was Ferrari Classiche certified in 2020 meaning it retains its original chassis, gearbox, bodywork and is finished in its original colour combination.
The Classiche certification also confirmed the car is no longer fitted with its original engine, but one of the correct type for the F355. Rumour has it Schumacher had a higher-spec engine powering the car.
After winning his first world championship with Benetton in 1995, Schumacher switched to Ferrari for the following season and Ferrari gave their new driver a road car. It was the newest model in Ferrari’s lineup and perfect for the current world champion. Esta historia es de la edición Issue 501 de Unique Cars.

ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 1966-94
THE SHAPE introduced at Turin's 1966 Motor Show survived 28 turbulent years with just one significant restyle. Appropriately for a twin-cam, two-seat car it was called 'Duetto', and the man who won the competition to choose its name was rewarded with one of the first-built examples.
