288 GTO and F40 Prototype's for sale

From 10 years ago, where another F40 prototype, and another 288 GTO prototype, each crossed the block; seems the auction house weren't aware of the existence of the Marco Piccinini 288 GTO:

1987 Ferrari F40 Prototipo | Ferrari ? Leggenda e Passione 2007 | RM Sotheby's

1985 Ferrari 288 GTO Prototipo | Ferrari ? Leggenda e Passione 2007 | RM Sotheby's

 

Agreed. Folding?

 

Actually having just dug out my very dusty old example it seems the actual F40 prototype used for the model was probably the chassis slightly before this one, as the model is fitted with the early rear perspex cover with the greater number of slats, and no foglights in the rear bumper.

The Ferrari 348 has a two-piece folding version of these mirrors.

 

I believe the ones on the F40 Prototype are single-piece static items.

If we really must know I could ask Tom.

 

What are the asking for each?

 

F40 is sold.

 

You've asked this question before, and the GTO's ask price has been twice posted, do you not read before you post?

For a world record.

 

Joe, since the price of the 288 was posted, can you share the price achieved (or at least the ask) on the F40? Thanks

 

I was informed that it was $3.5m

 

Magical machines. Congrats THJ.

 

3.5 $ was the F40, and the GTO?

 

Holy Smoke! then again I guess its a case of try and find another example of a very rare F40 such as this one, especially in such condition and with such provenance.

Have you read any responses to you at all? It's in Post #11 of this thread.

 

So is Mr MP calling the top of the market?

 

That must be the top.

 

Your question has already been answered.

 

A market it shares with only two other remaining examples?

 

So, speaking of mirrors, scale models and F40 prototypes, am I correct that there was a third mirror version, as per the attached picture and another famous model as the Tamiya 1:24?

Some cars have their own singular market.

 

flat rear view mirrors are from the very first F40 @ launch, july 1987!

 

WW!

 

Don't forget, another difference is the lack of a tow hook connection on the front bumper.

 

$4.5mm asking for the GTO and $3.5mm sale on the F40 based on Joe's comments. Not bad at all. I was hoping they'd be bought together as a pair.
