Reprinted below is DK Engineering’s description for this rarely seen iteration of the handsome 348 Berlinetta:

This example is #41 of 50 produced and is one of the eight right hand drive examples. Unique to the 348 GT Competizione is a piece of trim bespoke to each example; the steering wheel indicating the number out 50 examples produced. This example was supplied new to Mr Robson of Morpeth on 4th February 1995 through JCT600 Specialist cars. Mr Robson would keep the car for four years, passing to the second owner in 1999. The second owner would keep the car two years before trading it in to Graypaul Ferrari. The car would pass through Mr Ash, a number of records during his ownership are in the accompanying history file.

In 2005, the car was purchased by Nick Taylor, an experienced driver and well known in the Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain. Taylor fielded this 348 GTC prominently and successfully between 2005 and 2011 at various Ferrari Owners Club hill climb events around the UK. From his ownership there is a wealth of documentation including his scrutineering certificates for circa 70 events entered. The car received meticulous maintenance throughout his ownership and the history file contains a wealth of records, invoices and services to this effect.

DK Engineering were proud to supply this car to the current owner back in 2020 where it has been cared for by a highly regarded collector of the marque and used sparingly. It has been regularly serviced by marque specialists including the major cambelt service. As such this example is ready to be used and enjoyed immediately, today showing 53,000 miles.

In June of this year, the car visited JCT600 Leeds for an annual service and check over. The rarest modern Ferrari, the 348 GT Competizione benefits enormously from its 200Kg diet, a naturally aspirated V8 mated to an open-gated manual gearbox. A true homologation special, this is one of just 8 right hand drive examples produced and whilst often forgotten it should not be underestimated.
