599 Alonso REALLY !!!!!

I see Stratstone in Manchester have a 599 Alonso on for £500,000.
I know it has been discussed before but I just cannot understand the prices being asked for a 599 with a dodgy paint job.

As it is limited edition and is associated with Alonso, it will always have a space in some private collection.

For someone with no taste and money to burn maybe. It is just an ugly paintjob on a standard 599 that dealers couldn't get shot of originally. If you want the ugly paintjob (not sure why you would but...) just buy a normal 599 and wrap it.

You have to add dodgy wheels as well !

F50, Enzo, tdf, 599 GTO, LaF, LaFA, 458SA, 599 SA etc are Limited Editions.

The Alonso was not a Limited Edition. It was an end of run promotion.

If someone likes the Alonso's paint job, fantastic, enjoy. But to pay anything other than a couple points premium on this car over a well specced 599 GTB is IMO nuts.

+1 hence the original post.Personally I much prefer the "standard" 599.

The same car (or very similar) now appears to be on with Ferrari Nottingham at £650,000.
Must have been so much interest that vendor has "made"another £150,000 in a couple of weeks.
Clearly a low mileage Alonso is worth more than some RHD 599 GTOs.
WTF !!!!
