Returning once again to host three days of auctions at this year's Race Retro, Silverstone Auctions has announced the consignment of a highly collectible 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello 'World Speed Record (WSR)' edition to its Classic Car Sale on 25^th and 26^th February. As one of only 10 right-hand drive models sold to the U.K. market, this particular 550 Maranello 'WSR' was delivered new to well-known Ferrari specialists Mortimer, Houghton and Turner by Maranello Concessionaires.

On 5^th May 2000 it was sold new to its first owner, noted car collector and enthusiast, Mr. Terry Lister, the Co-Founder of the U.K.'s largest independent dealer group. After five years of careful ownership and regular servicing from the supplying dealer, the car was sold to its second and current owner in 2005 where it entered a private collection. The car has been fastidiously maintained and regularly serviced by the owner's private mechanic ever since.

Today the car has covered a total of just 54,396km and presents in incredible condition with Grigio paintwork and a Bordeaux interior. Special features include Scuderia wing shields, a throaty sports exhaust, brake calipers in Rosso, a Fiorano handling pack, a leather trimmed roll cage, and carbon bucket seats with Daytona stitching and race harnesses, as well as the 'WSR' commemorative plaque.
