Seems Eric is a trooper though,
Back in May 25, 1996 he arrived at his home in London and the place was on fire. After notifying the authorities he ran into the house to save his guitars.

Can anyone find & post the Vin# of this one?

1998 the car was involved in an accident and was sold to a Dutch owner, who commissioned noted specialists Forza Service in the Netherlands to repair the car to factory specifications. As part of these repairs the front clamshell was replaced; however, today body numbers are present on the on the door hinge, rear spoiler, and rear fender. During the recent respray, when the red paint was removed, a repair to one sill was noted.

After the completion of this work, chassis 88538 returned to the roads of Europe, appearing at the Ferrari Club Germany 25th Anniversary Meeting in Baden-Baden, Germany. In 2003, Forza Service replaced the odometer, confirming in writing that due to mechanical failure the car’s odometer (then displaying 11,442 kilometers) was replaced with an odometer that displayed 7,118 kilometers. More recently, it participated in the Ferrari Tribute to the Mille Miglia for three consecutive years, from 2010–2012.

After changing hands at auction in 2014 and privately in 2017, it was acquired by its present owner in 2021. Initially he had planned to repaint the car red; however, with the car fully stripped, a new color was "Minted" literally!

Can any one post before/after pics of Totaled F40 #80726 ?

 

In 2017 Iconic Auctioneers posted;

ZFFGJ34B000080726

The vehicle was originally supplied to Herr Wolfgang Denzel in Austria in June 1989 and had its 1,500 km 'Free Service Coupon' honoured on 26/6/1989, and its next service completed on 20/4/1990, both by the supplying dealer. The car was then bought by an Italian collector who already owned an F40 and intended to convert this new car to an LM specification for track use. We are told that this conversion never took place so the car was effectively a static display vehicle for over 20 years, before being sold to the current owner by one of their clients, at which point the vehicle started its transformation back to the exceptional example you see today.

Agreed, might be why the car was pulled from auction?

was the car raced in the 97 French GT series in LM configuration?

"In June 1989 #80726 was sold new through official dealer Wolfgang Denzel in Austria to the first owner, Baron Dr. Franz Mayr-Melnhof-Saurau, of Frohnleiten, one of the wealthiest Austrians at the time.

Franz Mayr-Melnhof was a very tall man and had difficulties to sit properly in the F40. He decided to have the car sent to Michelotto in Padova, Italy, to modify the roof with two double bubbles.

Franz Mayr-Melnhof, on the way back from Padova to Austria, was passenger in his Ferrari F40 on the motorway Udine-Pontebba in Italy, Thursday night, June 3, 1993, when the car crashed near Pontebba. He was airlifted to the special University clinic for burnt people in Munich, Germany where sadly he passed away on Monday, the 14th June 1993. He was just 44 years.

Driver of the car had been his friend and assistant Count Johann Thun-Hohenstein, aged 56, who was killed in the car.

The F40 had crashed into an Armco barrier coming out of the road and the car was catapulted into the air. After some somersaulting the wreck came to a stop near the entrance of a motorway service station. The car was very badly damaged and burnt heavily.

The wreck later ended up at a body shop in Maranello.

It appears that somebody later built a car using the ID of the wreck.

Baron Dr. Franz Mayr-Melnhof was a true gentleman, an exceptional Ferrari enthusiast with quite a collection (he owned more than 25

Ferraris over the years), that even included 330

LMB #4725 which he had purchased just 3 months before the fatal accident (in the F40).

I had personally known him for a number of years and was really shocked when I learned about the sad story, a real tragedy.

May both men rest in peace. With my utmost respect."

Marcel Massini



Thank you Marcel and respect to you also Sir!

 

ZFFGJ34B000074047

There were only 7 F40 GTs built and this car was the first to be converted to F40 GT csai spec built by Michelotto.

There is a strong likelihood that 74047 is the prototype that was used primarily for press conferences and display at public events, as it was exhibited at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show on the stand of Auto Becker,
View attachment 3825895
A month later, the car was spotted at the Ferrari Club Italia meeting in Imola. Original Michelotto build sheets indicate that 74047 was upgraded prior to its public displays, receiving extensive GT modifications between May and July of 1987, where it was, in fact, referred to as an F40 LM. For the first years of its life, 74047 was owned and registered by Ferrari SpA on Modena number plates.

In 1991, 74047 returned to Michelotto for further race-oriented improvements, and the car is believed to be the first of seven F40 examples to receive such conversions.

Following GT conversions, 74047 was sold to Luca Sartori, an Italian private racer who campaigned the car in the début 1992 season of the newly formed Gran Criterium Supercar GT series. 74047 took the checkered flag twice and placed 2nd six times during the 1992 season, resulting in an impressive 2nd place overall season finish. In preparation for the 1993 season, this F40 GT returned to Michelotto for further upgrades to remain competitive under new C.S.A.I. GT specifications. Repainted in Ferrari Club Italia colours and campaigned again in the Criterium, now renamed the Italian Supercar GT Championship, 74047 finished 2nd three times.

Restoration carried out by DK Engineering.
