    Congratulations and hopefully you'll enjoy it for many more miles.

    We delivered a similar F40 this past week to a gentleman who's waited 8 years to get one, I drove it for an hour prior, a veritable rocketship, it will be driven often.

    Whilst I realise that when you own something you can do what you like with it, but who thought that putting a sticker on the side of the wing of an F40 was going to do anything to enhance the appearance?

    I have never seen that done before and hope never to see it again!

    I had the exact same reaction when I saw that picture.

    This is in Antibes so this may explain that !

    But at the time the owner was from Germany.

    A German owner putting stickers on his F40? That is a quite unusual fantasy ! :)

    Malaysia is usually black background white numbers, right? from what I see it is not the format that is used

    (the photo is in Spain but it is not a Spanish license plate)

    Anyone know if there are there any images of Stirling Moss with or using this F40?

    Gorgeous! What was the reason for the 8 year wait? Was he looking for a particular one or just that hard to come by these days?

    There is, I believe, documentary evidence with the car linking it to Stirling Moss. This includes letters between him and Enzo Ferrari. I read about this online only in the last few days but am unable to find it again now.

    I recall an article where Moss made a big fuss about having to wait on a long list to receive his F40, where as he stated that celebrities like Eric Clapton had theirs much quicker, only to then promptly sell it not long after it arrived for a healthy profit!

    Marcel, you should really blank out the private address on that document, as publishing such goes against many countries privacy laws these days inc the UK. It may well still be occupied by members of the Moss family.

    Ordinarily I'd agree, but everyone knew where Stirling lived. You can literally type 'Stirling Moss Address' into Google and it'll bring back 44-46 Shepherd Street. There have been a good number of articles on the house.
