Specialist classic car finance requires speed, precision and trusted relationships. In this recent case study, AMF completed the funding of a stunning Ferrari F355 Berlinetta in just 72 hours, demonstrating both our expertise in classic Ferrari finance and the strength of our long-standing client relationships.



A True Modern Classic Ferrari


The Ferrari F355 Berlinetta is widely regarded as one of the defining Ferraris of the 1990s. Powered by a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 and celebrated for its raw driving experience, analogue feel and Pininfarina styling, the F355 has firmly established itself as a blue-chip modern classic within the collector market.


This particular example was exceptional. Finished to celebrate Ferrari’s dominant Formula 1 era of the late 90s, it featured rare F50-style seats and striking gold wheels, details that elevate it beyond a standard example and further enhance its collectability. Vehicles of this calibre demand a finance partner that understands classic values, provenance and market positioning.




72-Hour Completion - Specialist Classic Car Finance


Our Business Development Director, Antony Fragola, began the week by structuring and completing the funding within just 72 hours. When acquiring collectible Ferraris, timing is often critical, particularly when the vehicle is destined for an established collection.


Unlike standard vehicle finance, classic Ferrari finance requires lenders who understand appreciating assets, heritage vehicles and specialist underwriting criteria. Leveraging our lender panel and experience in prestige and collector car funding, AMF delivered a competitive and efficient solution aligned with the client’s wider financial structure.




A Long-Standing Client Relationship


This transaction was particularly rewarding as it reflects an ongoing relationship with a valued repeat client. We have worked closely with this client on previous acquisitions, supporting the growth of their expanding Ferrari collection.


Loyalty in the classic and collector car space is built on trust, discretion and consistent delivery. Being able to move quickly, structure funding correctly and provide dependable execution is why many of our clients return to AMF for multiple acquisitions.




Working with Bell Sport & Classic


We were also pleased to work alongside our friends at Bell Sport & Classic, one of the UK’s leading Ferrari specialists.


Their reputation for sourcing and preparing exceptional classic Ferraris is second to none, and strong dealer relationships are essential when delivering seamless, time-sensitive completions.


Collaborations like this ensure the client experience remains smooth from sourcing through to funding and final handover.



Growing a Ferrari Collection


The F355 Berlinetta will shortly join the client’s expanding Ferrari collection, a testament to the enduring appeal of analogue-era Ferraris and the continued strength of the classic Ferrari market.


As values of well-presented, low-production and collectible 1990s Ferraris remain strong, structured finance can be a strategic tool for collectors looking to preserve liquidity while acquiring significant vehicles.



Looking for Classic Ferrari Finance?


If you are purchasing a Ferrari F355, building a Ferrari collection, or looking for specialist classic car finance in the UK, AMF provides bespoke funding solutions for classic, collector and prestige vehicles.


We understand the nuances of heritage assets, time-sensitive transactions and high-value acquisitions, and we work closely with trusted dealer partners to ensure efficient completions, even within 72 hours.
