    Just in case you don't know...
    the VIN is on several locations that are easy to spot

    On the top of the steering column, and in the drivers door gap area are the easiest to snap photos of :)

    My guess is this will come to nothing tbh. The F40 will not be sold for anywhere near 30k, i think we all know that.

    Demo, IMO only release the VIN if you are unable to buy or give up on buying this F40.

    This is the sort of situation we all dream about and you're living the dream :) :)

    Inshallah you're deal goes through and we can see some pics of you livin it up.

    If you decide not to go through with it, help out a hommie in Kuwait and hook me up :)

    Regardless of what happens enjoy the experience, its one of those stories you tell your hommies in the Diwaniya for years to come.

    If I could afford too I would try to buy/salvage that engine, it would make for a great swap project.

    ok, I just chanced onto this thread, and i cant believe you guys: Anyone can say all this stuff about an abandoned car in Saudi Arabia....to me it sounds like a real figment of someone's imagination; UNLESS this demo produces a vin and if not even some new pictures. Otherwise, to me this is just a joke...sorry. People who are rich dont abandon F40's; they arent stupid, despite what some may think about the culture of the wealthy. Everyone dreams of a barn find; and a get rich quick scheme.

    Ok: give me the vin, deliver the car to me here in the states and I will give you 300,000 for it. Cash.

    Otherwise quit telling stories until you can provide some proof.

    To me this sounds quite silly really. I dont believe in fairy tales. I will stay tuned and find out how this turns out. Wont be holding my breath.

    It could very well be a joke but to dispel that these kind of thing's dont happen anymore is abit nieve.

    yes he is dead now ..but ..about 16 years ago ..Uday bought a F40 and it was banned to ship any ferrari to Iraq. Only Saddam's family can buy them Then ..in every arabian coutry.. there is a Ferrari Service expect Iraq and in 1997 Uday's F40 was sent to Turkey (ZEYTINOGLU FERRARİ SERVİCE) ...it was in terrible situation but exactly recovered in Turkey..after sending it to back Uday never drive it again ...so i think it is probably uday's ;)
