    In the Brunei Collection should also be a very early production F40.

    This might not be 88523 unless huge mods were done by Pininfarina(?)
    Where is the roll cage? LM mirrors…?
    88523 was supplied new in rosso corsa and lhd as all other F40LMs

    car should have engine No. 10 and gearbox No. 03 to be the real F40LM

    Fully rebuilt by Pininfarina indeed. Electric windows, radio, AC... aside the paintjob and wheel drive change. It was crashed during testing after the work, but rebuilt again by Pininfarina.

    The car is RUINED.

    and if it ever comes to the market
    original parts that came off and are no longer there?; the owner has a huge challenge.
    Original dashboard panel / electronics and many other parts are NLA and can not be reproduced.
    Good luck!

    Reimagined is a good word also. Unless you have a serial # from the factory as an F40. It’s a copy... period.

    I think that since companies like Singer/Outlaw/Foose/Roadstershop/Kirkland/Superformance and others have demonstrated excellence in improving the older cars at an extremely high level, it opens the door for people to have another level of new technology experience/improvement with these cars. No need to be embarrassed or deceive people, go at your version the proper way, with the right budget, right people involved and have a ball with it.
    Interesting eco system that I’m discovering.

    Alesi drove a lot of cars for FIAT, from Ferrari F1 to Alfa 155's in Super touring back in 1992.

    Questions about this car. I’ve never seen this bonnet before, fixed headlight like an LM or a GTE but no opening in the bonnet for the radiators?
