We are delighted to offer this exceptional Ferrari 550 Maranello, an icon widely regarded as one of Ferrari’s greatest modern GTs. Introduced to the press at the Nürburgring in 1996, the 550 Maranello marked Ferrari’s return to a front-engined V12 layout, reminiscent of the classic Daytona. With its 2-seat cabin, naturally aspirated V12, and 6-speed open-gate manual gearbox, the 550 embodied Ferrari’s vision of a high-performance grand tourer – blending usability with thrilling performance, a formula Ferrari has upheld to this day with models like the 812 Superfast., Our example is a truly remarkable car, finished in the classic combination of Argento Nurburgring over Blu Scuro leather. Used as intended, this 550 Maranello covered over 50,000 miles in its first decade, testament to its previous owners’ passion and dedication. This car is not meant to sit in storage – it is a driver’s Ferrari, ready to be taken on grand tours across Europe, where it will devour miles effortlessly while offering exceptional comfort., Mechanically, the car is largely factory standard, save for a tasteful Tubi exhaust system that enhances its rich V12 sound. This 550 has been the recipient of extensive mechanical care, including a top-end engine rebuild by AV Engineering in 2021 and a replacement gearbox fitted by Ferrari Master Technician Paul Buchanan of The Supercar Tech earlier this year. The result is a driving experience that feels as tight and fresh as the day it left the factory, offering both performance and peace of mind., The car comes with a meticulously documented service history, boasting 22 services from Ferrari main dealers and specialists, along with a major service (including belt replacement) in December 2023. This impressive maintenance record underscores the level of care invested in this 550 Maranello, setting it apart from typical examples on the market., This Ferrari 550 Maranello is supplied with a valuable cherished private registration FER 550W, adding a personalised touch for its new owner. It also includes a Ferrari car cover, the original leather-bound toolkit, book pack, and will come with a new set of Pirelli tyres, ensuring it’s ready for immediate enjoyment., Many 550 Maranellos at this price point carry high maintenance risks due to costly repairs, but this example’s meticulous preventative maintenance makes it a highly attractive proposition for any enthusiast or collector. With its stunning specification, documented history, and recent mechanical overhauls, this 550 Maranello stands out as one of the finest on the market – a true collector’s item ready to be driven and appreciated., Viewing is highly recommended, and any inspection is welcome.
