550-13 was completed in May 1954 by coachbuilder Weinsberg alongside the other three Le Mans Werks cars, finished in silver with yellow fin darts and a beige interior. Fitted with quad cam engine #547-10, it ran a smaller 1100cc capacity.

Entered as car #47 at the 1954 Le Mans race with Gonzague Olivier and Zora Arkus Duntov, it was the most reliable of the four Werks cars and finished first in its class. The smaller engine proved consistently competitive in class racing. In July, Von Hanstein drove it to victory at Silverstone, before it shipped to South America for the Carrera Panamericana in November, where Fernando Segura and Herbert Linge finished 12th overall and 4th in class.
