Finally took F40 pics!

Very, very nice Alex ! looks perfect ! I love the euro side markers !

 

SUPERBE, thank's for sharing

 

Lovely pictures!

A note regarding the OCD cleaning - the small smudges and even a layer of dust will not show up in your photos. A light dusting with a charged particle duster like the California Duster, will be more than sufficient to make the car look great in photos. Up close and personal is another story, but I like to drive my cars and I accept that dust is in the air and will get on my car no matter what I do.

 

gorgeous. must look vibrant hammering thru English weather. truly fine

 

That car is amazing. Immaculate. Perfect.

You are a lucky man!

 

Expending a little 'elbow grease' on such a worthy subject is simply sublime...a fine looking result! Even in that light it has a certain glow about it.

Simply stunning Alex

 

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

 

The left one is cooling the gearbox...the other the engine. The gearbox oil amount circulating through the transmission is just a lot less, hence less cooling capacity required.

 

Love it!


Enjoy!!!!

 

Every time I see new photos of these cars I'm simply overwhelmed by their simple, spartan beauty! Your engine bay is also much cleaner than most that I've seen, so kudos to you for taking excellent care of the car. Now all we need is some video!

 

i am jealous http://ferrarichat.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

 

The car is beautiful, and looks in great shape, inside and out! Enjoy! - Tim

 

Wow wow wow. Beautiful. Thanks for the pics!

 

Dear Comrades,

Yes, here we have a quite magnificent example of the English F-40 Lightweight weighing-in at more then two hundred pounds less than the American F-40 Heavyweight.

And RufMD, surely these images will be sufficient to see your return to your homeland of England, thus that you may drive the original item rather than, um well, the US replica

And Joe Sackey? Where is Comrade Joe Sackey? Surely, he has not gone to ground in the manner of frightened fox? Surely our dear comrade is not resentful of the fabulous rendition of the English F-40 Lightweight so perfectly presented upon this February eventide?

410SA has made a grudging aside. But of course, his car has recently been exhibited upon the forum, regretfully, some of his images were terribly out of focus. This was exemplified by the images that Comrade Joe Sackey posted showing his car with a nary a smidgen of distortion. I suspect it would be unlikely that 410SA's car would be accepted on the Classiche Certification Programme what with the wrong wheels etc. Where as the fine example exhibited here is yet another prime, wholly unmolested candidate for the Classiche Certiification. And Comrade Stradman, you must contact Nevill at Ferrari GB to get this car certificated. I shall be most pleased to provide you with all the information should you wish to proceed.

With kind regards,

512 Tea Are

 

Classiche Certification Programe would seem more suited to a green lawn than blacktop. Bigger brakes and suitable wheels shod with some impressive rubber improve upon ancient Ferrari practices. A piece of paper offers little comfort to the sporting driver as the first corner approaches...

I am so jelous of your F40, its beautiful! also - the garage looks like a mint setup.

one thing i am wondering about though - are the 'slow down' lights on your dash. What are they used for and when do they alight? I've never seen/heard of them before. I tried searching but nothing came up.

 

Dear Comrade of2worlds,

If we all obey the speed limits as indeed we all should, there is no problem with the brakes. However, upon occasions I have suffered a degree of brake fade when descending Porlock Hill in Somerset which has an inclination of one in three. However, I stick my foot out of the door and this provides a further degree of greater retardation

With kind regards,
