With that being said....dont you think the garage guy holidng this car for 9 years in a corner somewhere plus servicing Pcars and the like think the price is worth more than 30K?

If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

 

Not ALL kits look bad, is this real or replica?

listen my friend, as i told you on the phone before!! get me the guys number, lets buy it from him what ever he wants and then lets restore it and maybe sell it JK

 

i'll be checking the car soon ,,, and i will take some more pixs and the serial number ,,, and i'll try 2 contact the owner soon ,,,

 

Check the vin no with interpol, it could one of the many stolen cars in the Middle East. (In Dubai there are three TR's on the same number plate)

If it is a legal car and the owner is a prince, you are unlikely to be talking to him in person, but with his minions who may smell a profit for themselves. Tread carefully there are a lot of Princes in Saudi not all are rich.

 

thanks for the advice ,,,its amazing ! how do u know all these things about our culture ,,, yes u r right they are not all ritch ,,, but this 1 is rich i know for sure ,,, i hope i can reach 1 of his people ,,, and offer him a commision or somthing ,,, i dunoo want 2 show them that this car is valuable and can get them money or i'll be in trouble buying it ...


wish me luck


regards

 

ok, i'm starting to understand the situation more. I say review it well DEMO and you did good by asking for advice here. best of luck, hope all goes well.

 

Well, I will admit it is the best kit I ever ever seen. But even from just that one pic I can tell it is a fake.

The overall propotions are too small, the hole for the exhaust is the wrong shape, the tail lamps are in the wrong spot, the levers to release the engine
cover are not shaped right, the slits in the back window aren't curved enough....etc....etc....

 

That thing is actually as ssnistr says a replica. First thing that showed up when searching for Ferrari F40 kit on Google. Owner brags of a 800 hp Toyota engine, 200+ mph and quarter-mile in 10,5 seconds.

More info and pics of the car in this link. http://www.kitcarmag.com/featuredvehicles/142_0311_ferrari_f40_replica/index.html

Kit car or not, that engine bay rocks

 

you know what they say.......if you cant join them, beat them,

Its still a fu....gazy

 

Good luck demo!

 

thanks man ,,, lets just hope the owner will sell ,,,

 

Hoping for you as well, this could just be the steal of the decade

 

is there alot of missing F40's around ,,, i mean how many F40 is there that no 1 knows where is it right now ? i guess many

 

well, i am suprised.. cause why doesnt the Mechanic just buy the car and the resell it. I guess he would have probably though about it too? The owner might just be some rich dude, who just uses the garage as storage. Well, its just a guess.
I would be in Saudi in jan, maybe i would be able to check with some friends there

 

i wish u all the best ,,, am sorry for not giving u the location ,,, but i'll try 2 buy the car ,,, if i dont succeed ,,, i'll write down the location here in this forum opening the floor for others 2 try ,,, i dont think i did something wrong

did i ?

 

its cool,hope you get the car.
And please post some pics.. when you get it.

All the best

 

+1

 

From those angles it really is obvious that it is a replica.

But, it is a very nicely made one....

 

what a find lets hope he gets it ....

 

The roof line is what gives it away as a fake. That and the entire frond end is way out of proportion.

 

Good luck Demo.....I'm not too far away, I'm in Cairo, Egypt if there is anything I can do. That F40 is very interesting....keep us posted of your progress. If I were in your shoes, I would never give up on this car.

Best regards, Tarek

 

I could not agree more Tarek K. as if I knew I had the slightest chance to purchase that F40 I would be all over it 24/7. Best of luck Demo!
