Are you looking for a fresh, well-maintained and complete Ferrari 550 Maranello? Then this is probably the car you are looking for! Beautifully equipped with the highly coveted and precious Daytona seats and Schedoni trunk set.

On 8 June 1999, this Ferrari was delivered new by Kroymans in Hilversum to its first owner in Belgium. The car has been maintained at Kroymans throughout its ownership. In 2003, the Ferrari was imported to the Netherlands, where it has been owned by the same owner until recently. In September 2024, major maintenance was carried out by Kroymans including filters, spark plugs, timing belt and valve cover gaskets (invoice over €13,000). The full specification of the service is described on the invoice. The Ferrari is therefore fully roadworthy for its next owner. Thanks to the extensive documentation, the maintenance carried out is clear and the mileage logical. Optically, the 550 is formidable: the well known colour ‘Grigio Titanio’ - which is also available on Ferraris today - and with the famous 5-spoke original alloy wheels. Completing the car are the optional red painted brake calipers, Daytona seats and Schedoni trunk set. Not only do the seats sit superbly, they also look insanely beautiful. So it is not for nothing that these seats are highly coveted and expensive these days. The same goes for the optionally available Schedoni luggage set. This three-piece suitcase set is high-quality and exclusively manufactured. For a trip to, say, Italy, we can't think of a better car: fast, luxurious, comfortable and stylish.

In the original tan leather folder you will find a wealth of authentic Ferrari documentation including the completed service booklet, radio manual, Owners Manual handbook, delivery and warranty booklet, alarm manual and even the Hi-Fi system warranty booklet. All these original and valuable booklets have been carefully preserved. Besides being a fast sports car, the Ferrari is a comfortable long-distance car and comes with options like electric seats, windows and mirrors, automatic air conditioning and a Becker radio with navigation. ‘Sport Mode’ makes the ASR less active and adjusts the dampers more rigidly, for more feel in sporty driving.

Under the bonnet lies perhaps the most important thing: a 5.5-litre V12. This 48-valve delivers some 485 hp at 7,000 rpm. It therefore covers 0-100 km/h in an impressive 4.4 seconds. Top speed is 320 km/h: extremely fast for a youngtimer. Paired with this iconic engine is the well-known ‘H-gate’ 6-speed manual gearbox. Ferrari has long said goodbye to the manual gearbox these days. This is precisely why these examples are becoming increasingly sought-after by collectors. The chassis, gearbox and engine numbers match, making this example ‘Matching Numbers’! The Tubi-Style exhaust reproduces the sound of the engine wonderfully, making every drive an exhilarating experience. The codes of the windows match and have therefore never been replaced.

General information about the Ferrari 550 Maranello
In 1996, after 23 years of absence, a traditional Ferrari was finally introduced again with the engine at the front, rear-wheel drive and a V12 engine. This engine produces 485 hp (at 7,000 rpm) and 568 Nm (at 5,000 rpm). It is an atmospheric 5.5-litre DOHC 65° V12 with Bosch Motronic injection, which is always mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The limited slip differential is mechanical. The F133 engine would eventually win an award for Engine of the Year twice in the category above 4.0-litre. Thanks to its aerodynamic bodywork - drawn by renowned designer Pininfarina - with an air resistance coefficient of just 0.33 Cx, the 550 Maranello.achieved a top speed of a whopping 320 km/h. A feat that is still very impressive today. And that gave driver Montezemolo the idea of the Maranello competing for the world speed record title. So in October 1998, Modena sent a slightly modified version to the 12-km oval circuit of Colombus, Ohia in the United States. A few hours later, the 550 Maranello had three records in its pocket including an average speed of 306 km/h on 100 miles (160 km) in one hour respectively.
The 550 Maranello was succeeded in 2002 by the 575M Maranello: this model was hardly changed in appearance and was produced until 2006. A timeless model, then, as we have come to expect from Pininfarina.
