F40 sale prices

I posted the f50 sale at $1.56m in this thread for about a minute before I realized my mistake and then deleted it. You must have seen that - my fault - sorry for any confusion.

 

When cars that are generally considered by those in the know not to be good cars bring amazing results, its troubling.

 

agreed. but is it because there are not enough good cars to choose from, or is it because the buyers are ill informed? i find it strange for people who have enough money to buy this type of car, do not spend the time and effort to research the target car. what am i missing?

 

Was it a genuine sale, or bid to the wall to try and get it to reserve, great GBP£ price if it did in fact sell

 

There is new money that is convinced that the skies are always blue.

 

HOLD ON isn't it?? No one told me that ...

 

As always, everything is repairable and for an amount of $$ that F40 sold can be brought up to better standards. It will cost time and money but it is possible.

There's talks of 2 in the UK that are with dealers ATM asking for 875K GBP, half the kms and in a better condition.

 

True, but as Ross points out, you wonder why they didn't wait for a better car, or better still, you wonder why they didn't speak to those in the know, and if they did, you wonder why they paid little heed. As someone who is at the forefront in terms of dealing with these cars (privately), I get the sense that there is *some* money that is in too much of a hurry. That doesn't bode well. That said, its nice to see the cars bringing strong values.

 

The ex Violati 1991 Non Cat/Non Adj car with "lightweight" spec sold for 634k gbp including buyer's premium last weekend...I wasn't at the auction but reading between the lines on the description looks like the mileage is uncertain and the car is probably in need of a recommissioning

Bonhams : 1991 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta Chassis no. ZFFGJ34B000089460

 

Yes, to both your points. It wasn't the best example, yet again...

 

Does anyone know about the F40 listed by Kidston.com?

 

I was amazed to see such a low price for an F40 considering its previous owner history and unique interior feature.. So should I think mileage is still a major factor then? Joe, your opinion would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

Well I think $1,017,036 US for this Eu/ROW F40 was quite good.

 

The Violati car needs a bit of work.
A pal of mine just turned down £800,000 from an authorised dealer here in the UK for his 1,300 km example.

joe any recent transactions?
sounds like theres been some interesting activity in and around gotham!

 

Interesting activity? Please share.

 

heard a local dealer sold one for 1.8+

 

Miller?

 

Excellent news, heard of another selling in Germany for €1.2 mill

 

I once received a call from a gentleman who proceeded to tell me that he had heard I had sold an F40 for a record sum. I asked what the number was that he had heard. It turned out that I had in fact sold the F40 for @ $400k less than he had heard.

Do you have a chassis number for us, to support this claim?

 

nope I don't - it's december - maybe just a good old fashion dose of story telling!

 

I think so. Pay no attention, recent sales http://joesackey.com/?page_id=33 are nowhere close to that, much as F40 owners will obviously want them to be
