Ferrari 599 GTB - bargains to be had........

I was surfing the other day on Tom Hartley Junior’s web site. Boy does he have some amazing cars for sale and I spotted a low miler 599 GTB from 2007 with just 4,000 miles on the clock for £110,000. Classic Metallic grey (grigio silverstone) and red (rosso) leather interior. Has a VIP pack……..(whatever that is).

I was lucky enough to join a Ferrari’s Owners Club factory visit in 2008 (we also did Lambo and Zonda) and the production line of the 599 was so impressive.

The car seems to have fallen out of favour at the moment and prices very depressed. The V12 Enzo engine that’s slightly detuned for this car, is magnificent. When you see the engine being made in the factory it really did seem to tie art with hi technology manufacturing.

Tiff recently (3 years ago) did a review of 599 from the factory and had Stirling Moss riding shot gun. The episode starts with Stirling driving one of his old SWB 250’s. I think this is the car now owned by Ross Brawn. We see this lovely blue car occasionally at events, as Ross lives close to border of West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. [Updated 30 May 2020 I now see its Clive Beecham’s Car that I blogged on back in September 19]. Stirling really enjoys Tiff’s driving…….says it much quicker than his 1960 GP cars!

Chris Harris also did a fascinating review when he bought one of these beauties.

I’m including this as well.

Enjoy.
