Sir Rod Stewart has sold his 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta at auction for over £300,000. The Maggie May singer joined the likes of Simon Cowell and actor Will Ferrell selling their luxury motors at the Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction.
The Hoops daft singer, 77, managed to get his hands on one of the just 448 Barchetta 550s made, finished in Argento Nürburgring (Silver) with Nero (Black) leather.
The luxurious car comes with a 5.5-litre V12 engine with 485bhp and 420lb/ft of torque - and Sir Rod's motor ended up going under the hammer for a whopping £309,000. The 550 Barchetta was later replaced by the upgraded 575M Maranello in 2002.
Last year, a Ferrari dealer serviced the car and included new engine mounts, a new left-side valve cover gasket, a timing cover gasket and an air-conditioning expansion valve, reports The Sun.
This isn't the only supercar Rod has sent to auction, as it was reported in January his former Lamborghini Countach would be hitting the market for a second time.
The legendary musician had the car delivered brand new to him in 1977 while touring Australia, and is one of only 157 examples of the first-series LP400 'Periscopio' models produced.
Rod later converted it to a targa-style open-top configuration, but it was later reversed to original 'Periscopio' specification. Last February, someone bought it in Paris for $940, 919, which set a new record for an auctioned Countach.
The Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer is currently touring in Australia and celebrated Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou in his hometown. He projected a large photograph of Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou on screen as he sang in his infamous leopard print suit.
Taking to Instagram, Rod wrote: "Nice to be in your hometown, Ange!"

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A couple of members of a fresh generation of country music — Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson — came away as the top victors at Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards, broadcast live from Austin for the first time. But the biggest winners may have been CMT and CBS, putting the three-hour telecast on the map as a show packed with enough performance firepower that it does merit having made the move from a cable platform to major broadcast premiere as of last year. However much the official winners may delight a core country crowd happy to see young radio and streaming favorites get rewarded, the big draw for the CBS audience was likely a series of collaborations between country stars and their pop or rock counterparts, as has been the custom for years on the rival CMA Awards. Most notable were the all-female collabs that had Carly Pearce dueting with Gwen Stefani on No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” or Alanis Morissette trading lines with a slate of young female artists that included Lainey Wilson, Ingrid Andress, Morgan Wade and Madeline Edwards. The all-star teamings spread to those who presented, too, with Megan Thee Stallion providing the most enthusiastic introduction imaginable for “my new besty,” Shania Twain.
