Ferrari F40 sleeping somewhere in Saudi Arabia

hey this is my first thread in this forum ...

am from saudi arabia ,,, a guy who love Ferrari's ,,, i found a Ferrari F40 in saudi arabia sleeping in a small garage ,,, its really sad to see this car in this condition

the car has 514km ONLY almost new ,,, never been in accedient or anything ,,, the indian guy in garage told me that the car has been sleeping in his garage for more than 9 years when the pre-owner asked for oil change ,,, the owner is a prince he never picked his car again ,,,

Interesting story, thanks...did you happen to get a serial number on the car ? Did the shop owner mention whether he has been able to contact the owner ? Sad state of affairs.

 

Amazing... I see you guys pulled it out too? Did you try starting it up perhaps?



PS Marhaba

 

well, i did not try 2 get the serial however i can whenever i want ,,, and yes the shop guy told me that he knows the owner and in contact ,,, it seems that the car owner is very rich and not a car enthusiast ,,, u know ,, the kind of people who buy the best and the most expensive without really know anything about it ,,, i guess i can buy the car for a very low price ,,, i mean very very very low ,,, coz it the car means anything 2 him ,,, he wont leave it in a very small garage for 9 years ...

 

will the car is in a very excellent condition ... did i mention that it has done only around 500km ... so its almost new ... however there are few scratchs in the body paint i guess becoz of this small garage ... i did not try 2 start it ... they battery is disconnected ...

 

That would be awesome...very cool for you

 

i can buy the car but i cant maintain it ,,, how much do u think the car worth ? i mean market value it has around 500km never been in accedient sleeping in garage for 9 years ,,, but i dont think i'll have a history doc ,,,

 

Well...i dont know a lot but maybe this car will need a major service...9 years without use...will be hard to believe that it works good...the value market for the F40 is increasing and it will be hard to find one for less than 480k...or maybe 500k...there´s one on Ebay in a bid...

The value of a US car has skyrocketed... but, I don't know the value of a euro car. Surely the fact its 500 km only helps it.... at least once it's had its plumbing pressure tested... seals and all.

in the US, this car could pull 700k if it were a US spec car.

 

the shop guy told me that the car has around 150km when i was first in the shop ,,, but since then he take it for a small drive every few months ,,, change the oil and do minor maintaince and drive it for few mins then back to sleep ,,, the work shop guy told me he added around 350km totalling around 500km


very intresting story

 

That is insane! Somebody buy it!

What a find....

 

idont know from where did the owner buy the car ,,,, but the problem with the car is it has few minor scratches in the body ... the interior looks new ...

i wounder if the car stills work fine ,,, but based on the workshop guy it works just fine !!

 

The scratches are minor....the car is a awesome find.

Glad that it has been driven at least a little and somewhat maintained.

Just needs a little TLC....

 

It's not a US spec car, that much is obvious from the photos.

 

How can you know that...??

What´s the difference between a US spec car and a Euro spec car...?

 

Christmas before Christmas....

 

Tail fog lights from the pics.

 

no US chin spoiler, or thicker bumper either

 

Pay for the oilchange and some parkingfee, start her up and go..................the owner probably forgot all about it(lol)

 

how can we buy it ?

 

am gonna make somebusiness with the workshop ,,, he will fix some stuff on my porsche 930 ,,, i guess after dealing with the guy i'll ask him for some names and some contacts ,,, coz i belive if he wants me 2 get the car he will ,,, and hell i'll take it for nothing am thinking for less than 30k dollars ,,, yes am not kidding ,,, i guess the owner is not serious about this car ,,, he left it in an old garage for 9 years for god sake !!!!


i just dont want 2 jump and ask the guy for contacts and get a NO answer ,,, so i will ask him after i finish repairing my porsche ,,,

but my question does it worth something ,,, without history and if the car is not in working condition i mean if it does not work (after 9 years in this garage) how much does it cost to put it back in the streets ,,, alot of questions in my mind ,,, i never ownerd a ferrari ,,,

 

probably, but if you don t want to have some problem afther i think it better to have discution with him...
forgett this plan, the sn is during all the life of the car.

 

OH MY GOD...

The owner is CRAZY...you will win a lot if you sell it...

 

Nice story

Demo, I should be in KSA next week, from Jeddah to Yanbu, then to Riad. So if you need any help, just call me, it should be interresting!

Holy crap, you'd get 200k $ if the engine was blown up! Buy it, fix it, sell it. If you can't fix it, sell it as it is and still you can walk away with a new 997 Turbo...
