2003 FERRARI 575M MARANELLO

KEY FACTS

• A wonderful, low-mileage example of the handsome grand tourer, presented in excellent condition and with a detailed maintenance history.
• Under the bonnet is the 508bhp naturally aspirated ‘Tipo F133 E’ 5.7-litre V12, coupled to a six-speed F1 automated manual transmission with paddle shift.
• The odometer displays just 26,928 miles from new.
• First registered in July 2003, the car has been enjoyed by its most recent private keeper for 13 years, and is now offered for sale on their behalf. In total, there are just four owners shown on the V5C.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 575M was specified in the elegant hue of Argento Nurburgring and features Blu Scuro leather upholstery with Grigio contrast stitching.
• Factory options include Scuderia wing shields, an upgraded Hi-Fi system and a leather-trimmed luggage shelf.
• The car rides on the optional 19-inch modular alloy wheels, which frame a set of red brake callipers and are in great shape.
• This graceful Ferrari will be accompanied by all of its original handbooks, its original and supplementary service books, its full tool kit and its battery charger, which are all housed in the correct tan leather cases. The vendor is also supplying a substantial file of invoices for the car’s prior maintenance and a spare set of wheel centre caps.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Today, the Argento Nurburgring paintwork is in excellent condition, with the vendor having tended to some blemishes on the front and rear bumpers, due to slight corrosion on the sills and a small blister on the passenger-side rear wing.
• Stepping inside, the cabin is very smart, with minor wear on the driver’s outer bolster and very slight surface creasing elsewhere.
• The leather on both the passenger airbag cover and the upper dashboard has shrunk and is lifting slightly; a common issue that should be able to be rectified by stretching and re-gluing.
• The surface of the driver’s door handle has become ‘sticky’ with age, which is a common issue in Ferraris of this age, and can be sorted by a number of specialists.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical issues.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 15 April 2021 at 26,912 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with no warnings or advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 575M’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in April 2021 at 26,912 miles by marque specialist DK Engineering. A major service, this included replacement of the brake fluids, spark plugs and cam belt, as well as refurbishment of the air conditioning pump, and the fitment of new rear tyres.
• Prior to this, annual services were performed in March 2020 at 26,679 miles and in March 2019 at 26,323 miles, with a total of 20 Ferrari stamps in the service book.
• Furthermore, the nearside front brake pipe was replaced in April 2019 at 26,317 miles.

SUMMARY

This Ferrari 575M Maranello is a fantastic example of the millennium-era flagship grand tourer. A low-mileage, well-maintained example, this handsomely specified 575M will be a credit to any collection, while its high-capacity V12 and ability to sprint from 0-62mph in just 4.2 seconds should mean that its next owner wants to spend as much time behind the wheel as possible.
