A 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider that has spent recent years parked in a barn is now being offered for sale, presenting a notable opportunity for collectors focused on modern-era Ferraris with growing historical significance. The car shows 28,086 miles and is being sold by its second owner after a long period of inactivity.
The Ferrari has reportedly remained under a tarp for several years and will require full recommissioning before it can be driven. While it is listed as being in good overall condition, it has not been started in roughly two years, its battery has been removed, and routine service items will need to be addressed. Timing belts were last changed around a decade ago, and new tires are expected to be required.
The 360 Modena marked a major turning point for Ferrari when it debuted in 1999. Developed as a clean-sheet design to replace the F355, it introduced Ferrari’s first mass-produced aluminum spaceframe road car. Built using bonded and riveted aluminum extrusions, castings, and panels developed with Alcoa, the chassis was significantly stiffer and lighter than its predecessor, improving handling, safety, and serviceability.
Power came from Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Tipo F131 V8, producing 400 horsepower and mounted longitudinally for improved weight distribution and easier maintenance access. Buyers could choose between a traditional gated six-speed manual or Ferrari’s electro-hydraulic F1 transmission, with manual-equipped cars now commanding increased interest among enthusiasts.
The 360 Spider variant joined the lineup in 2000, featuring a power-operated fabric roof and structural reinforcements to maintain chassis rigidity. Performance figures remained largely unchanged, with strong acceleration and a top speed that placed it squarely among the leading supercars of its era.
The barn-stored example was delivered new in the United Kingdom and remains there today as a right-hand-drive car. It spent many years in the late Clive Harris’ collection and has had only two owners since new. It is now scheduled to be auctioned by Iconic Auctioneers on Feb. 21, carrying a price guide of £30,000 to £40,000, roughly equivalent to $40,500 to $54,000.
With production of the Ferrari 360 ending in 2005 after more than 17,000 units were built, examples like this one reflect a key transitional moment in Ferrari history, blending traditional mechanical character with modern engineering.
