    There never was an official car called a F40 "Competizione", so I assume that is a conversion of sorts? Either way, I like that scoop on the roof....

    Ok, I can undestand your point. It wasn't an "official" Ferrari model, but in some way it's a model in its own. Just like the 250 Tour de France bodied by Zagato. Or, if we want to speak about something more recent, the 612 P4/5. Would you call it an Enzo conversion?

    Ciao.

    All those cars are just regular F40's that the owners upgraded. If you take a 360 and upgrade it and race it is isn't all of a sudden now a 360 "Competizione" now is it?

    If you take any brand new Ferrari, have it modified by Michelotto, race it and maybe win some races or hopefully championships, I think it becomes something on its own.
    One of these F40 Competizione (90001) became the first F40 GTE. It was never modified by Ferrari. Would you still call it "a regular F40 that the owner upgraded"?
    Many of the early cars were modified and became something new. In some cases, they're worth more than the "original" ones.

    Just one last example: the 375 MM owned by Jon Shirley, the one whose first owner was Roberto Rossellini, was originally a barchetta bodied by Pininfarina; it was later rebodied as a coupé by Scaglietti and (hear, hear) in 2006 won the "Best of Show" at "Ferrari 60 anni".
    Do you call it "a regular Ferrari that the owner upgraded"?

    I respect your thoughts, and agree with you when you say that the F40 Competizione wasn't an official Ferrari model. Still, I can't consider it a stock F40 with some modification. In this case, it would be worth less than an original one. But I think this is not the case.

    THIS ONE is a regular F40 that the owner upgraded!

    I love the F40. Its design is perfect, IMO. When I see that somebody modifies one example in this awful way, I feel like crying...

    Unluckily, money can buy cars, but not good taste.

    I found these pictures on the Ferrari Club Italia magazine.
    The owner made them when the car reached 99,999 kms...
