599 Alonso, a future classic?

[ajr550]

599 Alonso - it's a tacky paint job - I think a few were signed by Alonso in the UK - doesn't add anything to the 599 GTB - and arguably detracts (as it looks hideous).....

May have the chance to get one of these at a reasonable price.....but no where near what this seems to have sold for....

If someone bought this car for 700K, please have them PM me. My RHD 599 GTO is available for a very reasonable GBP 3.5m

Bit off topic but the thought's in my head and it's sort-of relevant in this thread, so here goes. Maybe I'm missing something here, but for the life of me I honestly don't understand why anyone would pay this much for F355s:

All-time great car? Definitely. But does it really fall into the 'future classic' / investment area as a mass-produced model? Actually, the way things are right now, probably. A car's worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it; if enough speculative sellers take chances with hopeful high prices and enough people bite, there's the bubble in action. But rationally, as someone who (if I had the means) would want the best car for my available budget, I could get a 458 Italia for similar money. By any sane criteria, the 458 is the 'better' car; ditto for any number of 430s and 360s in the classified. Nothing seems rational about the used car market right now!
