Series speciale were a couple dozen cars with challenge seats no bars across the rear lights and a few other tasteful mods. Made at Classic Coach for FNA

Clyde is exactly right regarding the 348. More Service Bulletins and Recalls
than all other period cars COMBINED.
The "Serie Speciale" was a marketing ploy to try and move the stale inventory.
The Challenge racing series was started with the 348 models for the same reason.
They weren't selling and the waiting list for a Testarossa was 1-3 years.

There are always exceptions to the rule
As a whole the 348 was a very bad car for both the consumer and for the manufacture
I know Brian Keegan of Ted Rutlands monitors this list from time to time
He can back me up with regards to service bulletins and the like on the 348
When Ted Rutland was alive he told me personally that the warranty claims and service bulletins on the 348 almost bankrupt Ferrari NA
And he would know
I am glad that there are examples that are better than the norm
But overall I will stick with my recommendation
I feel my reputation is still good with most on Ferrari’s
I would like to keep it that way
Enjoy the weekend guys and I know there are some women out there too
Enroute to LAX for the weekend of fun
Never been to Rodeo Drive or Ferrari of Beverly Hills

This example looked to be in as-new shape and in a great color combination as well. $63K is higher that the typical example, but this is not a typical example, so the seller did well.
I’ve mentioned it before, but my friend had his ‘94 Spider for more than 20 years and other than a couple of drained batteries, the alternator, one radiator that leaked (you know that well enough cLyDe) and the sticky switches, not much
else went wrong. Serviced it religiously at the dealer, along with belt changes beyond the recommended intervals. He loved the car (had two 348s before that Spider, a coupe and targa, owned in short succession) and only got rid of it because of his age (harder
to get in and out and wrist surgery made it more difficult to shift). Prices are so much higher up here in Canada, that if it wasn’t that high, I would’ve bought that car.
By the way, don’t consider selling your car on BaT. A friend of mine here in Vancouver recently sold a car through them and was extremely disappointed with their service. He tried four times to have the description changed and they screwed
it up each time (with long delays between email replies). He gave up. Finally had to put the correct description in the comments section once the auction was up-and-running. The actual bidding process is flawed and not in real time. Many other complaints he
said I found very surprising and disappointing as well. He has other cars for sale and won’t do it through them. He said they should’ve just stuck to being a chat-site, re-posting craigslist and ebay ads as when they started out, instead of this auction format
that it’s now become.

Lash listen
The 348 almost bankrupt Ferrari NA with service bulletins
The car was a nightmare pure and simple
It’s the ugly child that only a mother could love
I have worked on them
You have to take the rear bumper off to do the service!
The majority of them ended up in Canada, where they are hardly driven

Maybe the 348 is finally getting the respect it deserves?
BaT is a good data source of actual selling prices.
