The Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina is a limited edition roadster version of the 478bhp, 5.5-litre V12-engined 550 Maranello and was first revealed at the Paris Motor Show in 2000. With just 448 examples rolling off the production line, it's one of the rarest open-top Ferraris of the last 20 years.
The model on sale at Hexagon has just 2,615km on the clock and comes in spectacular Giallo Fly yellow paint with Nero leather inside. It also has the desirable six-speed manual gearbox featuring the famous Ferrari open metal gate.
This left-hand drive car is one of the best in the world. First supplied by Japanese dealer Cornes & Co, it has been meticulously looked after, coming with the original handbook and spare keys and, of course, the temporary soft top, which can only be used at up to 113km/h.
When the 550 Maranello was replaced by the faster, more powerful 508bhp, 5.7-litre V12-engined 575M in 2002, Ferrari took the opportunity to offer another limited run version - and one with a highly innovative roof too.
Launched in 2005, the Superamerica features an electrochromic glass panel roof. At the touch of a button, this rotates backward through 180 degrees to rest flush with the boot lid in just 10 seconds, leaving the rear window in place to function as a wind deflector.
All Superamericas also received an uprated engine over the standard 575M, taking power to 533bhp. The 2005 model on sale with Hexagon is Grigio Silverstone Metallic with Caramel Leather interior and has covered just 2,221km in its 11 years of life. It also has Ferrari's Formula One paddleshift gearbox.
