Now in its second year, the concours is unusual in that its criteria sees separate judging for aspects of design and for originality and restoration. This novel combination saw Ferrari sports cars take no fewer than four of the ten Best in Class awards as well as the overall Best in Show.

The event was organised by MAC Group and staged in Florence against the picturesque backdrop of the Gherardesca Palace, Convent and Garden, that houses the Four Seasons Hotel. At the same time Uniques Special Ones is a concours, an exhibition and a public relations event.

The heart of the event was the Unique Cars International Concours for one-off cars, rare models remaining from extremely limited productions; prototypes; concept and show cars; famous cars (particularly notable, for instance because owned by celebrities, winners of important championships, protagonists of spectacular events, or coaches built on the first or last chassis produced) and very limited edition cars (of which less than 20 were made or remain). Once again this year, the concours panel featured major names from the world of design, art, automotive production, culture and communications, including Lorenzo Ramaciotti, Fiat Group Chief Designer.

The four magnificent Ferraris to collect awards were Bernard Carl's 1962 Fantuzzi-bodied 268 SP, which took honours in the Sports and Racing Cars class, Kenneth Roath's 1955 250 Europa GT Coupé (which was restored by Ferrari Classiche in 2009), which took the Gran Turismo Coupés class, Peter McCoy's 1951 212 Export Coupé, which took the Post-War Italian Style class, and David Sydorick's 1956 Zagato-bodied 250 GT Berlinetta. The latter, one of just three individually-styled long-wheelbase cars  featuring the designer house's trademark double-bubble roof, also took Best of Show.
