Firmly placed in Ferrari’s history as one of their finest big GTs, the 550 Maranello’s combination of its elegant Pininfarina lines and legendary front mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics, following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of its forebear, the 365 GTB/4 ‘Daytona’. With modern styling cues, a 5.5-litre V12 engine producing around 485bhp and a reported top speed of 199mph, the 550 Maranello was a seriously quick motor car, The six-speed gearbox combined with a slightly more even torque curve meant that power delivery was a little less frenetic, and excellent weight distribution combined with the 550’s delightful road manners were all factors in the car becoming the perfect ‘European Grand Tourer’. The Ferrari 550 Maranello was the return of the front engined Ferraris and this 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona.

First registered in March 2002 by Stratstone Manchester, this beautiful low mileage example was specified in Rosso Red with Crema leather, carpets in Bordeaux, and the factory options of the Fiorano Handling Pack, Scuderia Ferrari Shields, Large Racing Seats in Connolly Hide and Leather Rear Shelf.

In the intervening years the 550 has been maintained to a high standard, being serviced by Stratstone at 3,441, 5,887, 6,265, 6,446, 6,732, 6,914 and 7,128 miles, and then by Graypaul of Nottingham at 7,290 miles. In current long-term family ownership, after a period of dry storage the 550 was comprehensively recommissioned by specialist R&D Automotive in late 2024, including all fluids and belts, fuel pumps, all tyres and brake discs, an alternator repair and replacement suspension control unit (an invoice for £8,396.39 supports this work).

Offered with UK V5C, stamped service history and invoice for the recent recommissioning works, this is a super opportunity to own a genuine low mileage example of one of Ferrari’s greatest GT cars of the modern era.
