The Italian Hill Climb Championship Winning
Offered today, this car is believed to be the only 550 Maranello ever prepared by Ferrari for the FIA GT Championship. It was campaigned throughout the 2003 season by JMB Racing of France, alongside its 575GTC sister. Among those to regularly drive the car in competition events were Fabio Babini and Philipp Peter. Records show that JMB Racing’s 550 Maranello, car number ‘9’, won the 9th round at Estoril in Portugal, helping JMB to secure 4th place in the Teams Championship.
At the end of the season, chassis F133GT 2102 was placed into storage, where it remained until purchased by the current owner in 2005, who drove the car in the Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna (Italian Speed Hill Climb Championship) winning the GTM category in 2006.
