Is the Ferrari 599 a good investment?

The thesis

Approximately 30 manual-transmission 599 GTBs were built globally—Ferrari's last front-engined V12 GT offered with a gated six-speed. RHD manuals are almost mythically rare (perhaps 2–4 UK examples). Current UK pricing for manual 599s sits £180K–£250K, a modest premium over F1-transmission cars (£90K–£150K). This is a profound rarity mispricing: the manual 599 is as significant as the manual F430 yet trades at half the multiple. As collectors exhaust supply of manual 430s and Scuderia 16Ms, the manual 599 becomes the only accessible manual Ferrari V12 GT.
