    It is.

    Car was heavily reworked between 2004 and 2010, first at the now out of business Supercars International at Road Atlanta, and then completed by Revolution Motorsports in Agoura Hills (car is featured on their website as a project car) with the engine rebuilt by Prestige Autohuas in Walnut Creek in 2009. Previous owner may have been bent over by shop(s) that were in over their head on this build.

    I have no idea about the quality of workmanship of these guys since they are on the west coast, but if everything checks out, this seems to be priced realistically.

    You can get a mint low miler in Europe for less than that.
    Euro 1.07 today, likely next stop 1.00

    I love the luggage and is that extra seat material I see? Very nice. I think the F40 is THE definitive supercar.

    Original car cover.

    The luggage is embossed with tabs by Schedoni that read: "Telaio 87400".

    Pretty cool chassis number.

    Some USA F40s had luggage supplied with the VIN rather than the first owner's name

    Here is a F40 in Monaco with, what looks like Felipe Massa, behind the Wheel. He owns and F40 and lives in Monaco, so odds are pretty good its him.

    Hey there is it possible to find any info on this f40? It's in Limerick Ireland now and apparently only has 187km/ miles on it! Could that be correct, seems ridiculously low

    That F40 was recently purchased from Italy by an Irish collector and it is most certainly one of the lowest mileage examples in existence. This picture was taken last month and shows the odometer reading 195 kilometres (121 miles).

    The Italian collector deserves considerable respect for his self control. An alcoholic in a distillery would find it easier remaining sober than owning an F40 and not driving it.

    This was a UK delivery car, chassis # 85671.
    It was sold through a UK specialist dealer in March of this year to the Irish collector and still wears its original Escursionisti Esteri plates
