This Ferrari F355 Spider, finished in Purple Metallic Asprey, was commissioned in 1997 to celebrate Scuderia Ferrari’s three-year partnership with the luxury brand house Asprey. It made its debut at Asprey’s “purple party” on Bond Street in London, an event that perfectly matched the car’s distinctive finish. Adding to its mystique, it is rumoured that Michael Schumacher drove the car to the launch.
