The 575M's forerunner, the 550 Maranello, was introduced in 1996 and found much acclaim during its five years of production. It featured a 484bhp front-mounted naturally-aspirated 5.5-litre V12 engine driving the rear wheels through a transaxle. Suspension was by double wishbone, coil springs and anti-roll bars all-round and braking by ventilated discs front and rear. The Pininfarina designed all-alloy body was mounted on a tubular steel chassis. The major updates that resulted in the 575M included a larger more powerful engine (5.7-litre/508bhp), bigger brake discs, adaptive suspension, superior weight distribution, refined aerodynamics, refreshed interior and the choice of two six-speed transmissions - ie a conventional manual one and Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic F1 system.

The left-hand drive 575 now being sold is one of those equipped with F1 transmission and the highly desirable Fiorano handling package. The other factory-fitted options include: Scuderia Ferrari shields; fire extinguisher; leather-trimmed rear shelf; high power hi-fi with subwoofer; satellite navigation; and silver dedication plate. The car was supplied new to a Hartmut Helbig by Eberlein Automotive on July 12th 2002. The most recent keeper purchased the Prancing Horse from DLS Automobile Germany as a two-owner car, which he subsequently imported to the UK - it is these days UK registered as `LE02 YJO'. The service book confirms maintenance carried out by official Ferrari dealers at: 5,472 km, 19,417km, 36,875km, 45,072km, 47,011km, 47,283km, and the most recent at 47,384km courtesy of Greypaul Ferrari Nottingham on January 21st this year, when £4,800 was invested in the annual service, cam-belt change etc. The current set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres have covered less than 500 miles, and the Ferrari is now offered complete with: service book; invoices; a 2015 report by independent Ferrari specialist Michael Koser, confirming the car's technically excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition; original leather owners' pack; and a full set of keys.
