THE FIRST CONTACT.

Seeing that it was good looking car, Jack decided to search how much could cost..., for example, a front mudguard and the front bumper of such car, for this purporse he called a dealer and was told that the mudguard cost about 650 € and 1.750 € the bumper without painting, but the problem is that they did not sell to independent repairers for repairing the car out of the concession, but should bring the car to the dealership and repair it there with consequent bleeding money, so he had to look for other solutions.

Jack was increasingly infatuated with the car and he didn't care about the difficulties. He contacted the seller through a message, helped by Pascual who translated it into german.


With his dream chosen and even with the price closed, Jack thought that this particular car should be seen, it would be better go to Germany, and he would do so if he hadn't been lucky enough to have friends who have, many friends also passionate about cars, here I will appoint Jose M. which encouraged him greatly to bring the car, he said that if anything went wrong he could always sell and not lose all the money invested. Well, Jose M. suggested not to go to Germany because he knew a Spanish man who lived there and he was retired, this gentleman was engaged in importing cars to Spain from the area north-west Germany, he was called Manuel.

MANUEL was the key for Jack to buy the car, he traveled 600km and 600km round trip to go and see the car, talk to the seller and review the documentation of both the car and owner, official revisions etc ..., this man was even able to renegotiate the price and download another 1000 €.

From this time on Jack couldn't get rid of his mind the image of the car, once repaired with the appearance that he had always liked. Below these lines I will show you some pictures of how he would like to restore the car. He would like to change the F355 Berlinetta into a F355 Challenge, it is a classical transformation from "Gentleman driver" in which the car could travel on the street or could compete in a circuit.
