The Silver Collection

- Exceptional original condition

- Complete with its accessories

- Only 915km since leaving the factory

- Certified by Ferrari, rare Grigio Alloy colour

This car stands out on account of its exceptional original condition and its very low mileage: just 915km at the time of going to press. Sold new on 9 August 2001 to an Italian company in Fiorano, it was serviced on 19 June 2012 by Motor Service in Modena, at 637km. Motor Service followed the car from new and we have a record of all the work carried out at the time.

The Ferrari 550 Barchetta then moved on to another Italian company before it was bought by a British enthusiast based in London and registered in England. According to its service book, a service was carried out on 10 August 2017, at 855km, by Lancaster Colchester, an official Ferrari specialist, and the timing belts were replaced.

It was in 2019 that our client, who was fascinated by its exceptional condition and unusual colour, bought it from the renowned Ferrari dealer Jo Macari to join his ‘Silver Collection’. In December 2024, it was sent to Charles Pozzi in Levallois for a service, and the timing belts and tyres were again replaced.

Given its low mileage and the care taken to maintain it, this 550 Barchetta is in exceptional original condition, with its magnificent Grigio Alloy paintwork and superb black leather interior, which is marred only by its slightly warped appearance around the passenger airbag. It comes with all the equipment which was supplied when the model was new: two helmets for track use with their covers, its toolkit, Ferrari fitted car cover and the document wallet containing the service book and owner’s manual. It has its original black hood, complete with its protective cover. In addition, the car was certified by Ferrari Classiche on 1 December 2017, confirming its original colour of ‘Grigio Alloy 750’, with an interior in ‘Pella Nera VM 8500’.

The 550 Barchetta is in itself an extremely appealing car with its elegant styling and 5.5-litre V12. In the near-new condition of this example and in a rare colour, it is quite unique and will be the envy of all collectors.

Lots from outside the EU:

Modern motor cars:

In addition to the commissions and taxes specified in the general conditions of purchase, an additional import VAT will be charged (20% of the hammer price).

Impact on VAT:

As the vehicle has been driven less than 6,000 kilometers, it can be considered “as new” for VAT purposes in certain European countries. Please contact your local tax authorities for confirmation prior to purchase. For a French buyer, a VAT of 20% will be charged on the hammer price and the premium.
