Not sure a few stickers and a signature make it worth three times as much as a 'normal' 599 but I guess that's the thing with very limited edition Ferraris...but it has been for sale for quite some time. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...
but it's an absolute bargain compared to the Sa Aperta it was parked next too.....a cheeky £1.8m

These are both rare examples of the 599, the Aperta without signature had only 80 made worldwide and the other is a special edition to mark 60 years of F1 wins. Not sure how accurate Wikipedia is but here is what it says:but it's an absolute bargain compared to the Sa Aperta it was parked next too.....a cheeky £1.8m
599 SA Aperta
Ferrari SA Aperta
The convertible version of the 599, the SA Aperta, was introduced 2010 Paris Motor Show as a unique limited edition in honor of designers Sergio Pininfarina and Andrea Pininfarina. Only 80 examples were released. The SA Aperta used the higher performance engine from the 599 GTO.
Power @ rpm Torque @ rpm Acceleration to 100 km/h Top speed
493 kW (670 PS; 661 hp) at 8250 rpm 620 N⋅m (460 lb⋅ft) at 6500 rpm 3.6 sec 325 km/h (202 mph)
599 GTB 60F1
In December 2011, Ferrari announced a special edition 599 GTB to celebrate 60 years of F1 wins. From Froilán González's win at Silverstone in 1951 with the 375 F1, to Fernando Alonso's win at Silverstone in 2011 in the 150° Italia, Ferrari have been winning hundreds of F1 races. The car is based on the 599 HGTE chassis, meaning tougher suspension, shorter springs and stiffer anti-roll bars. The new 20" diamond-finished forged alloy wheels and Scuderia Ferrari shields come on the body. There are three choices of paint finishes to choose from: 1) The colors of the 375 F1 - darker and standing out more than Ferrari Rosso; 2) The colors of the 150° Italia, with the Italian tricolore styled mini spoiler at the back and the white parts of the front spoiler on the body; 3) Another version of the 150° Italia but without the white a-pillars. The seats in Europe will be Sabelt bucket seats whereas in the Americas there will be Recaro seats, both being made from Alcantara material.
Hence the large price bracket. Ferrari always whack the prices right up for 'special' variants of models.

That Aperta is actually signed by Giancarlo Fisichella and Luca Cordero di Montezemolo on the engine cover if I remember correctly.

That 599 Alonso was there when I went to Graypaul about 4 years ago! So it’s definitely not an easy sell.
And I think it was about half the price, I wonder if it sold then they’d have it back now and write you a cheque for a cheeky quarter mil, but I think a few of the ‘top end’ stuff there is probably on sale or return. waynecyclist said:

Good for a laugh to walk around there, I go once a month. My lass wanted to buy a car from there, went with her to see it, was a little confused why a car with 30k on the clock had one wheel on the front further back than the other. Good place to get close to some rare cars though, never buy from them though. Steamer said:
