Financing a 550 Maranello
Nineties cars are the current growth end of the market. Originality, mileage and a documented history drive value, and modified cars are harder to place with a lender.
The 550 Maranello was built 1996 to 2002 in Italy , styled by Pininfarina:; Lorenzo Ramaciotti; Elvio D'Aprile; Goran Popović (interior). Those details matter to a lender only insofar as they support a valuation: what is being funded is a specific car with a specific history, not a model line.
A company usually takes hire purchase or lease purchase on a car like this. A certified high net worth buyer borrows under the exemption. An owner who already has the 550 Maranello in the garage can raise money against it instead. In each case the lender wants an independent valuation, evidence of condition and a clear view of how the borrowing is repaid.
Before you buy

- 02Whether the car is standard, and what was done if it is not
- 03Accident history and paint readings around repaired panels
- 04An independent valuation the lender will accept
- 05Agreed value insurance quoted before completion
Questions
Can my company buy a Ferrari 550 Maranello on finance?
Yes. A limited company or LLP can buy on hire purchase or lease purchase, with the agreement in the company name. It is not regulated consumer credit, whatever the amount. How the car is treated for tax depends on how the business uses it, so speak to your accountant.
Is a 550 Maranello too old to finance?
Age on its own is rarely the obstacle. Specialist lenders assess the car, its provenance and an independent valuation rather than applying a cut-off year, so a 1996 to 2002 car can often be financed, subject to status and lender criteria.
Can I raise money against a 550 Maranello I already own?
Often, yes, and the car normally stays with you. The lender takes security over it, and how much can be raised depends on the valuation and on how readily that model sells. We arrange this for companies and for certified high net worth owners.
I want a 550 Maranello for personal use. Can you help?
That would be regulated consumer credit, which requires FCA authorisation we do not hold. Send the enquiry anyway: it is handled through one of our regulated partners, and we tell you which firm before anyone contacts you.
