Finally took delivery today of the Euro F40 after a long stay at Ferrari of Newport Beach doing absolutely everything. Here is a photo taken by me of the F40 with his brother. Many thanks to Joe for making this happen.

 

Our pleasure Brian!

congratulations!

 

Living the 80s dream!

 

Thanks Ross. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me the other day. You have a wealth of knowledge about these cars, and I am glad you are willing to share.

 

For sure. I graduated high school in 1991 so these were the cars that I lusted after when I started to drive. I always knew I would eventually have a 328 but did not ever think the F40 would be possible.

 

Switzerland this morning.

Obeying the Swiss speed limits I hope

 

Belated congratulations and enjoy the full experiences! Good thing you have room in your garage to allow the driver side doors to open nice and wide, and both cars have dog-leg 5-speed shift pattern.

 

Lovely! That looks like a car Peter would have; except it isn't repainted Blu TdF...

 

How? not possible!

Judging by the car models seen in the street, this is several years later than 1992/1993.
Posted 20th. of April 2006, which is probably when the photos were taken too.

3 F40's at Curated, Miami, incl. 1 with original? Micheloto LM kit?

It certainly is a weird combination of modifications, many of which would be costly to reverse body wise, coupled with HVAC pipe from the local builders merchant! yet no LM parts have been fitted and it retains standard wheels and as such probably standard brakes, so not much of a track car either.

 

No cut out in the front clam in front of the drivers view for the emergency pulls, so most likely one of the Japanese copy spec ones used for road cars rather than original LM panels. Also retains Pininfarina indents and badges in the side panels, another indicator they are modified road car parts. Lack of plexi side windows and road car mirrors seal the deal.

 

Spot on.

Doing about 2K km per year so it's good to even out the tire wear. Next stop is a Ferrari factory trip to Burgundy in two weeks. Perhaps even a lap or two of the Dijon circuit? Would be great.

 

84307 is perfect for Swiss alps......

Woah Mike! Do you still have this piece? This was the bumper when the car caught fire at Watkins Glen but still managed to cross the line with Ferté behind the wheel.

 

At the Bathurst 12hr I managed to grab a couple of laps before the start of the race.
