Ferrari 550 Barchetta - Classiche Certification - 1 Of 42 UK Examples
Furlonger are pleased to offer this remarkably well-presented Ferrari 550 Barchetta with Classiche Certification finished in the highly desirable shade of Rosso Barchetta over a Nero upholstered interior. Ordered new via Graypaul Motors LTD in August 2001, this 550 Barchetta is one of just 42 examples allocated to the UK market in right-hand drive.
Chassis no. 124061 retains its original order form and invoice from Graypaul Motors LTD, detailing its configuration which includes Aluminium Grey brake calipers, fire extinguisher, 5-piece luggage set, paint colour out of production (Rosso Barchetta), and spare wheel kit.
Delivered new to a Mr D. Morrison of London, this Ferrari 550 Barchetta would remain in his careful ownership for a short period of time before changing hands in 2003. The car’s second custodian owned the car for nine years before its third and final keeper took ownership in 2012. Forming part of a discerning collection of cars for the last 12 years, this Barchetta has been driven sparingly in warm, dry conditions and stored accordingly.
The Ferrari 550 Barchetta sits among the most collectible of modern classic limited production GT cars, with just 448 examples produced, and this example being number 083. With just 42 550 Barchettas delivered to the UK, its believed that some of these cars have been exported to meet the demands of other right-hand drive countries, leaving only a handful in the UK today.
Now offered for sale, Ferrari 550 Barchetta no. 083 would make an excellent addition to any Ferrari enthusiast’s collection. Presented in exceptional condition throughout and configured in a very rare exterior colour, chassis no. 124061 should be considered for the very finest of collections. The car’s presentation both internally and externally is a testament to the careful ownership and routine maintenance it has enjoyed throughout its life. This 550 Barchetta is accompanied by a service handbook, manuals, original document wallet, luggage set, helmets, helmet bags, and Classiche Certification red book.
Any V12 Ferrari with an open-gate manual transmission is an enticing prospect to those seeking a highly engaging and exciting driving experience, but one without a roof even more so. The 550 Barchetta is a stark reminder of Ferrari’s very first modern limited production open-top V12, arguably one that has shaped its successors to the present day.
