Collector Profile: Open twelve-cylinder special series

Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina

The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina gives Ferrari’s manual twelve-cylinder grand tourer an open-air interpretation. Its shortened windscreen, rollover structures and individual body treatment create a character distinct from the 550 Maranello coupé.

Why it matters

Presented at the 2000 Paris Motor Show, the Barchetta was created as a limited series. Its emergency fabric roof should not be confused with a conventional all-weather convertible top.

Collector considerations

Check identity, production plaque, original wheels and completeness of the supplied equipment. Roof components, helmets where supplied, documentation and the condition of the exposed cabin should form part of the assessment.

Collector perspective

The Barchetta suits a brief in which open-air use and completeness are central. Its specification and practical limitations should be understood before treating it as an interchangeable alternative to the coupé.
