Introduction

The 550 Maranello was Ferrari’s ultimate grand tourer of its day being propelled effortlessly by a V12 with 550 bhp. Introduced in 1996 at £143,000 they were considered a much improved GT proposition over the F512 which it replaced. They have gracefully stood the test of time and interest seems to be ever increasing for these very special cars.

This particular example is unquestionably the nicest example we have ever had the pleasure of stocking. Not only is it cosmetically beautiful but its most recent owner has kept an open cheque book in terms of ensuring the car is mechanically as good as can be to include a new gearbox and diff, brake upgrade and new wheels and tyres.

This 550 Maranello will undoubtedly satisfy the expectations of the most discerning Ferrari collector.
