    Hi All,

    my first post on "my first Ferrari" - a childhood dream that becomes reality - as you can see, a 550 Maranello with pretty amazing specs and low miles. Build in October 1999 it has had 2 previous owners that did really take car about this beauty. I was tremendously lucky - it was on the market for just 24h ! At least here in Europe, it`s pretty much impossible to find a similar one with those specs.

    - Carbon interior
    - Racing seats
    - 4 Point Harness
    - Fire extinguisher
    - Roll Bar
    - Diamond pattern headliner and rear shelf
    - Fiorano package
    - Ferrari shields

    last but not least....Luggage set. I have done some quick and dirty pictures as well - better ones to follow.


    Happy to be with you guys.
    Franci

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks very much for the warm welcome - looking forward to exchange some experiences with you. I call Switzerland "my home" more precisely Zürich.
    The beautiful Triumph next to the Maranello is not mine - unfortunately - pictures where taken in the garage of the previous owner.

    My garage looks a bit different - 550 Maranello will join my Lancia Delta Integrale, my wife`s super cool Rubicon and last but not least, an MV Agusta Brutale.

    Cheers Franci

    Wow what stunning spec, and only 24 hours on the market! I missed this one, can I ask you which site it was advertised on (presuming you are in europe)? I check Mobile EU daily and didn't see this one...Really jealous! Carbon, racing seats, black, shields....wow!

    Thanks for the feedback guys - the only thing that I do not like on the car is the steering wheel. :)
    Does anyone know if the 550/360 steering wheel is plug and play?

    @Bas Jaski
    I found it on the swiss autoscout site. I have been very lucky.

    360 and 575 steering wheels and airbags are interchangeable, but not sure about the 550. Would need new plastic trim, for sure. Mine after some work by MAcarbon.
