The last Ferrari to only be offered only with a manual transmission, this particular 550 Maranello has the added distinction of having the factory complete carbon trim coupled with the racing seats option, a rare selection for the 550 Maranellos. With this option, the manual transmission knob is the rare early carbon shifter with embedded Cavallino, an excellent celebration of historic Ferrari gated shifter.

The current owner is the New England Regional Director of the Ferrari Club of America, editor of their HorseTales magazine, and a retired Reserve Marine Colonel.
