Ferrari 550 Maranello (1997) – Manual – V12 – Dark Blue Metallic

Highlights

  • Presented beautifully in Dark Blue Metallic with matching blue leather interior

  • Iconic front-engined Ferrari V12, inspired by the legendary Daytona

  • 5.5-litre V12 engine producing 485 bhp, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and rear transaxle

  • Under 60,000 miles from new

  • Approximately £5,000 invested in maintenance since April 2025

  • MOT valid until October 2026

  • Private registration included


Overview

The Ferrari 550 Maranello marked the brand’s return to the classic GT formula: a front-mounted V12 engine, rear-wheel drive, and a manual gearbox with rear transaxle, wrapped in a design that clearly evokes the legendary Ferrari Daytona. Widely regarded as one of the greatest GT cars of the 1990s, the 550 Maranello remains a benchmark for pure driving enjoyment.

Powered by the renowned 5.5-litre F133 V12 engine producing 485 bhp, this Ferrari delivers impressive performance, accompanied by an unmistakable soundtrack and a truly authentic, analogue driving experience that is increasingly rare today.

With only 3,083 examples produced, this 1997 car is one of the earlier models. It is believed to have been originally registered in Germany before arriving in the United Kingdom in 2016. The current owner has invested approximately £5,000 in recent maintenance, and the car will be supplied with an MOT valid until October 2026.

Thanks to its Daytona-inspired lines and naturally aspirated V12 engine, the Ferrari 550 Maranello is now considered one of the most collectible modern Ferraris.

Condition

The Dark Blue Metallic exterior presents very well, with a small number of stone chips to the front, consistent with the car’s age and mileage. The bodywork appears straight, with no accident damage reported.

The original five-spoke alloy wheels are in good condition and fitted with matching Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (a minor tyre advisory noted on the MOT).

The blue leather interior is in excellent condition, showing minimal wear in high-use areas. The car retains its original Blaupunkt/Becker Indianapolis audio system with a boot-mounted 6-CD changer, as well as a period Nokia car phone. The switchgear and trim show light, age-related wear typical of the model and may respond well to refurbishment if desired. There is a slight distortion to the passenger airbag cover.


Mechanics

  • 5.5-litre F133 48-valve V12 engine producing 485 bhp

  • 6-speed manual transmission with rear transaxle configuration

  • Fully independent suspension with dual-mode (Normal / Sport) selectable damping

  • Speed-sensitive power-assisted steering

  • Described by the seller as very well maintained

  • Approximately £5,000 of recent maintenance work carried out

The F133 V12 represents a significant evolution of Ferrari’s earlier V12 engines, delivering close to 500 bhp and a truly authentic GT character. The manual gearbox and transaxle layout provide excellent balance and a level of driver engagement that enthusiasts will truly appreciate.

With fewer than 60,000 miles covered, limited use in recent years, and a comprehensive service history, this Ferrari 550 Maranello represents an excellent opportunity to own one of the most highly regarded modern Ferraris.
