355 Spider Asprey Edition

In celebration of their three-year sponsorship of the Ferrari Formula 1 team, luxury British goods brand Asprey welcomed 800 guests and launched two cars at their 'Purple Party' at Bond Street home in 1997.
Having collaborated on a range of accessories the 355
Spider and GTB would be the jewels in the crown.

Whilst rumours of a short production run of both variants was rumoured online, just one example of each would be completed. As confirmed by Tony Willis of Maranello Concessionaires Archive, the cars arrived at the Tower Garage in Egham and were driven to Bond Street ahead of their reveal. Both F1 drivers at the time were present; Eddie Irvine and Michael Schumacher.

Whilst the GTB was presented in Grigio Titanio, the Spider would be uniquely optioned in the very 'extra-campionario' hue of Purple Metallic Asprey. Both cars would received chrome interior switchgear, a Hagenuk and luggage by Asprey (not Schedoni).

As an official collaboration with the brand, the importer in the front of the service book is noted as Asprey London Ltd and the salesman, Edward Asprey.
