When will 599's gain classic collector status
Discussion
Crikey, only 63k, I actually liked this car. Cheapest one I have seen yet.........well I have seen one only yesterday that I was with. It has been stood out side for a very long time and very neglected and not used. I will add a picture of the front wheel/brake to give you some idea of the neglect. The car would be maybe a 3/10. Very sad to see indeed

Iwontlietoyou - yes, with practice you can drive a 599 smoothly around town. The art is in judging how much to lift off changing up and vv changing down, but I’ve got a sneaky feeling you knew that already.
Its interesting, the R8 R-Tronic is criticised for its gearbox and yet it would seem to exhibit similar change characteristics and require a similar technique.And no i am not comparing the R8 to a 599, just the “gearbox experience”!

something doesn't look right about those brakes... too small, and i'm sure carbon rotors don't rust?]

Don't let a rusty brake rotor put you off - cheap fix if a decent drive doesn't clean them up in the first place.
Did you read the , Stood for a long time, neglected and unused bit ?This 599 was far more than just corroded brakes.
However , maybe I have for it wrong, maybe a good run out will sort out a neglected car that has been stood outside for a long time.

Mate, I absolutely love the 599s. It surprises me how low they seem in price. I mean, look at them, there beautiful and with a V12 This one is a LHD one by the way and has a red interior.
The car is at a location were I happened to be. No one was around. Talking to people in other units it's been stood for an awfully long time, and it does look it to.
Thought I would take pictures of the poor 599.
