    Demo, can you take more pictures of the car and post them here?

    If you can get a good picture of the engine, wheels and interior I'm sure you can prove to the people here that it is real or fake. And maybe protect you from buying a false F40.

    I wouldn't let anyone know the details of its location. You found it and you might possibly get a great deal.

    Be careful as the vultures are going to try to scoop it up

    Good luck and I would love to hear you get it for a steal.

    It's stories like this that make me wonder why there are no shows on SPEED channel or Discovery Channel about historical cars which have been abandoned and neglected.

    They have "Antiques Roadshow", why not something similar with cars?

    The simple answer is ratings, probably. I'm not sure how Antique Roadshow's ratings are, but I'd gather they're fairly high. Motor Week has survived for how many years now?

    I just don't think as many people would care as much for a show of this nature. I know people such as yourself, me and the majority of FChat would watch this everyday. We (car guys), just aren't apreciated and typically looked down upon by a large number of people (imo).

    With that said, I wish there would be a head of a network or someone whom had the funding to do the searching for barn finds and start documenting it on video. As much as I crave for show after show about car info, I don't want car loving to become watered down with posuers and wannabe's.

    Back on topic. Good luck to you Demo, if at all possible get some pics of the interior and engine. Hope to hear good news soon.

    An Enzo with flat tyres, covered in dust?

    That would be a great picture for F-Chat! I'm sure some members would have a fit if they saw that, look whats happening with this F40 thread...

    From looking at the 1st photo, it appears the F40 was moved or atleast the mercedes was moved to take the photo? :S

    Any more updates regarding this F40 since the 'weekend trip'; photos, VIN etc?

    Like many have already said, this sounds too good to be true!
