In 1996, Ferrari introduced the 550 Maranello in a bid to revive their fabled line of grand tourers and it quickly proved to be an overwhelming success. Six years later, in 2002, the 575M Maranello appeared bringing with it a host of healthy updates adding additional potency to an already incredible car. Increasing the displacement of the V-12 by 250 cubic centimetres to 5748cc, resulted in 508bhp and 434lb/ft of torque, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and an advertised top speed of 202 mph. The front end was slightly revised with new headlights, a redesigned air intake and front spoiler, and the weight distribution was improved to 50/50. A choice of six-speed transmissions was available - a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic (electro-hydraulic manual) 'F1' gearbox. Further mechanical improvements included bigger brakes and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspension units are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimise pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds gear shift time). Inside, the interior was modernised and refreshed with an updated dashboard, trim, and steering wheel.

This outstanding example was delivered new via Kroymans to Munsterhuis Sports cars B.V and first registered 10 February 2003. The original owner didn't hold back when selecting options for his new Ferrari and the generous specification includes Nero Daytona (metallic black) paintwork, Fiorano handling pack, carbon racing seats, carbon driver zone (F1 paddles, dash inserts, steering wheel), carbon interior door panels, carbon door sills, premium audio inc factory Subwoofers, sat nav, Rosso Rev Counter display and a Tubi Sports exhaust system. This well-specified and driver-focused 575M would remain in Holland in single ownership until being selected and imported into the UK by a private Ferrari collector in 2015. The car subsequently changed hands to his business partner (our vendor) and as such is a three owner car in total.

Today the car presents beautifully, in fact, the car is outstanding with even panel gaps and bright even paintwork only showing some small stone chips to the front as expected from an original car. The interior is also excellent with no adverse signs of wear including all of the internal switch-gear which has been removed and refinished to address the notorious 'sticky' found on Ferrari from this era. Evidently, this example has been well cared for over the years, enjoyed, maintained and stored correctly. Now showing 113,574 km or 70,500 miles supported by a full and complete maintenance record, serviced mainly by the supplying dealer in Holland at correct intervals and, since arrival in the UK, maintained by Ferrari main agent Dick Lovett with the most recent service dated 28 February 2019 showing 113,471km.

Offered with the original book pack including service booklet stamped up-to-date with supporting invoices and Ferrari inspection torch, complete tool kit, car covers, battery charger and history folder containing a wealth of documents and invoices. Here is a fast, comfortable Ferrari GT ideal for European adventures, your holiday home or maybe an astute purchase considering the wide left-hand drive market when the time comes to sell on.
