Is the Ferrari F430 a good investment?

The thesis

The last mid-engine V8 Ferrari widely available with a gated six-speed manual. The 4.3L V8 produces 490hp and the manual variant is significantly rarer than F1-equipped cars. However, F430 manuals have already seen strong appreciation over the past decade, with pricing now well into six figures. UK market shows manuals trading £100–140k, meaning the cycle is well advanced.
