Always good to show your sale vehicle in a cloud of its own smoke.

Was that not just* sold?
* In the last couple of years? But I'm 50 now so that might be anywhere between 2 & 10 years.

It was sold after being driven by Jonny Smith and a few others, then 'restored' with the Rolls Royce grille added and colour changed to grey. Not sure if it changed hands again after that but I know it was marketed for sale - not sure if it did actually sell again so this may be the second owner's final attempt to get rid of it?
Seems expensive, not sure i see the value in paying £20k more for a manual box on a cruiser Ferrari.
Yes - they had it up for £113k I think and have slowly been reducing. My worry would be the fact that they said this car was "developed" over 9 months or something so clearly it was the guinea pig for a 599 conversion for the company that did it.
It does make sense though as the single clutch automated manual on that era of Ferrari is reportedly not great (though I imagine still much better than a F355 era F1 box). Also not sure I'd class it as a "cruiser" if you've seen Harris' CHOC video on it (which I go back to regularly...)!
Grigio is the colour for one of these IMO so I'd probably pay a few thou more for that in any event.
