‘Formerly owned by Ferrari Deutschland, only 52,000 km’
Unveiled at the Nürburgring in 1996, the 550 Maranello was designed to replace the 512 M, the final iteration of the mid-rear V12 concept, and revived the philosophy that had been set aside since the legendary 365 GTB/4 Daytona. A resounding success, thanks in particular to the 133 A engine and the Pininfarina-designed bodywork, the 550 was replaced in 2002 by the 575, featuring modernised styling and the adoption of an automatic gearbox as standard…
As indicated by a copy of its service history (the original having been lost; a duplicate issued in 2013 by Ferrari Spa Francorchamps), our example was delivered on 28 February 1997 by Ferrari Deutschland to… Ferrari Deutschland! This elegant 550 Maranello, finished in Argento Nürburgring with black leather upholstery, was therefore likely used for promotional purposes by the German importer.
In 2013, the car was purchased by the previous owner from Ferrari Spa Francorchamps. This keen collector (Ferrari 250 GT SWB, AC Cobra, Porsche 935 K3…) and accomplished racing driver (three-time participant in the 24 Hours of Le Mans) kept this Maranello until 2018, when it joined the current owner’s collection.
Today, our example has just over 52,000 km on the odometer (as evidenced by the Car Pass and the comprehensive file of invoices that accompanies it), and has undergone extensive work at the GGA garage, including, in particular, the replacement of the timing belts. Its cosmetic condition is very good, the paintwork is beautiful (partly original), and it runs perfectly, although a change of tyres should be considered.
No fewer than four 550 Maranellos have, this summer, exceeded $600,000... We have long been forecasting a future rise in the market, and this example may well be your last chance to acquire one at a reasonable price! This particular car also has the advantage of low mileage and a unique provenance… so there’s no excuse!
