    That single wiper really is effective in clearing the windscreen.

    When you started this thread did you expect it to be around 17 years later and almost 800k views? :)

    Not really but I also was shocked someone else hadn't already made an F40 photo thread. I think they were a little underappreciated back then by some people. I remember when my friend purchased one in 2006 for around $300k.

    Lexan Sliding Windows!

    Purchased my 1st one in 1996 for $265k and daily drove it 3,000 miles that summer, I would go to bed with the woosh from the wastegate ringing in my ears.

    So that must have been before you were a broker? :)

    You have surmised correctly ;)

    It was also long before F40s were taken too seriously or used as investment tools.

    What a nice pair.

    I was scratching my head about why this F40 looked so wrong, it took me a while to realise a simple thing like a thin black strip makes all the difference on a car without a sponsor scheme.

    Bonhams is now offering #92396 at Amelia Island in a few weeks. This car was at Cavallino 2021 and 2022 as well as the Ferrari lawn next to Pebble Beach 2021, so if you were at any of those events you saw it. I attached a photo of mine from Cavallino 2022. It's a really nice US-spec F40 and I know the principal responsible for managing it for its owner the past couple years in Connecticut.

    One thing about Bonhams' listing though - they casually write that this example 'boasts exceptional pedigree as the final example produced for the US market' without any mention of this elsewhere in the description. Is this really the last US F40? Or an error that was instead going for 'final model year'? I would have expected 'THE FINAL US F40' in their title or at least their bullet points, going by how Bonhams usually writes listings. Surely somebody with chassis sequence knowledge can chime in.

    92396 is the 184th U.S. version built.

    27 more U.S. version F40s were built after 92396.
    The last U.S. version F40 was completed 3 July 1992 (but doesn't have the highest chassis number of an U.S. version F40).

    Build start for 92396 was 10 December 1991.
    Completion date was 16 January 1992.
    Engine #29815.
    Gearbox #554.
    Body #33.

    I always find funny how many are obsessed with "last" cars when it's no secret that s/n order never matches chronological building order.

    I guess it IS real fun, however, when you make extra cash from advertising a car as "last of..."

    Thanks Marcel. Bonhams ought to correct their listing, then - or they might disappoint somebody and get themselves into trouble.
    I noticed your numbers add to 211, as opposed to the typically quoted 213. Is 213 incorrect?

    First/last can refer to VIN (Barrett-Jackson often sells VIN #001's), or serial number (often completely unrelated to VIN, e.g. the F50), or assembly number, or completion date, etc. And then there is the added complication of pre-production units, prototypes, and post-production units. IMO buyers should hesitate before getting too excited about securing a 'first' or 'last' example, even if, with enough qualifications, it is true.
