Importing a EU spec F40 to US

Use Martin Button of COSDEL in San Francisco.
Simply excellent when it comes to worldwide logistics of classic cars.

To the best of my knowledge the factory does not have an inspection program

For a thorough PPI you will probably find the best F40 knowledge in England Italy or Germany

Happy to be corrected on either

 

Chassis number?
You can PM/DM me if you prefer.

I believe you are speaking of this car https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/ferrari-f40-no-cat-gasoline-red-43d2107c-448e-400f-8e97-fd2a5eca1e78

The Advert describes the car as:

F40 built 10/1989
24,000 km (14,912 miles)
2 previous owners
Classiche Certified

The seller is/was:

Maranello Service Srl
https://www.maranello-service.it/
Official Ferrari Service & Bodyshop
Alessandro Peraro
Via Degli Alpini, 2/4/6,
26030 Calvatone - Cremona - CR, Italy
+39 0375 615219
+39 0375 97662

We checked this car out a few months back for a buyer and although it is a Lexan sliding windows car now, it appears that it was not born that way - Marcel can confirm.

Meanwhile value depends on many things:

Original paint?
Original interior?
Brakes, turbos modified?
Service history complete from new with stamps in the warranty book?
When were the fuel bladders, cam-belts and tires last changed?
How many owners?
Etc, etc, etc.

 

8 F40s for the Italian market were built in October 1989.

i would say that price is about right for a car that checks the boxes that Joe gave you. if it does not check the boxes, then its too high.
then the shipping/handling/insurance will be $20k (by sea).
the import duty to the usa will be 2.5% of all that, so you end up landed right around $2-2.1 mil, which seems to be mkt.

but Joe will have a better handle on what mkt is today for that car landed into the usa.

conversely, there is a euro already in the usa that has about 35k km, and is around $1.7 mil - which is easier.

 

F40s are expensive now, so is not correctly checking the boxes, now more than ever you need someone who knows what they are doing to guide you.

 

^^ Agree it’s an arduous market now. Fortunately there’s loads of information out there to research and if someone decides they need/want a buyers assistant there are several to choose from worldwide.
