Is the Ferrari F430 a good investment?

The thesis

Fewer than 90 manual F430s were built globally—Ferrari's last gated V8 before turbocharging and dual-clutch took over. RHD examples are vanishingly rare (perhaps 8–10). Current UK pricing £130K–£220K sits below the user's budget floor but represents an asymmetric opportunity: the manual 430 trades at a fraction of the 430 Scuderia (£200K+) yet offers identical significance as the final chapter of Ferrari's analogue mid-V8 lineage. Values are stable to rising, while 430 Scuderia and 16M Spider have already run hard.
