2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta

The 599 SA Aperta was Ferrari's 80-car tribute to Pininfarina's 80th anniversary, and this one is believed to be one of only eight right-hand-drive cars delivered to the UK. It uses the 599 GTO's 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12, rated at 661 bhp and 457 ft-lb. Power goes through a 6-speed F1 single-clutch gearbox, and the claimed figures are 3.6 seconds to 62 mph and a 202 mph top speed. The chassis sits lower than a standard 599 and runs recalibrated dampers.

This example is finished in Blu Scuro, a historical Ferrari colour with roots in the grand tourers of the 1960s. It is paired with a Charcoal leather interior, Bianco accents, blue seatbelts and a Blu soft top. The roof panels are painted carbon fibre in Grigio, a notable option. It also has the 599 GTO front bumper and grille, carbon fibre racing seats and 20-inch chrome-finish wheels. Parking sensors, a heat-insulating windscreen and aluminium brake callipers complete the list.

It has covered just 4,405 miles from new. It comes with its original books, an extensive history file and Ferrari Classiche certification, which adds welcome provenance for a car of this rarity. Few road-going Ferraris of the era combine a GTO-derived V12, open-top driving and a build run this small. The price is on application.
