We don’t know exactly how much Shmee150 earns, but we do know he recently bought a new house funded via a mortgage, which means one of two things: he’s either fantastically wealthy or one badly timed market wobble away from living in a serviced apartment above a Greggs. That said, his car collection is so vast and so valuable that, in theory, it’s probably earning money just by existing—like a very shiny pension fund that occasionally needs a tyre change.

Meanwhile, over in Ferrari land, things are getting slightly unhinged.

Prices for modern Maranello “classics” are doing what all good bubbles do: going absolutely vertical. Which naturally raises the question—should you cash in and sell a 458 Speciale before the whole thing remembers gravity exists?

The Ferrari 458 Speciale was launched in 2014 at around £208,000, and only 499 examples were ever made, because Ferrari likes to keep things rare enough to make grown adults behave irrationally.

Fast forward to now, and used cars with roughly 24,000 miles are trading around £340,000. Meanwhile, the even rarer Aperta version has wandered into full fantasy territory at around £800,000, which is roughly the price of a small house, or a very large emotional problem.

It’s a market where “driven but cherished” now means “worth more than your retirement plan,” and where every extra mile adds or subtracts the price of a decent hatchback.

So back to the question: should Shmee150 sell his 458 Speciale?

Well… if you’re asking in the current climate, the answer is always the same.

Yes.

Probably.

Before someone ruins it.
