Does anyone have photos of an F40 that was at the Ferrari 550 Maranello presentation in Interlaken, Switzerland on November 2, 1996?
More interesting I think. And a friend of Joe's and mine. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
There's a man who's forgotten more about F40s than most will ever know, which is saying something considering his memory isn't bad.
Enjoy, I believe its a converted road car, so placed it here instead of the LM thread, lots of correct parts though but no silver engine bay.
The type now being attracted to F40s, I hope any prospective new owners see this first, getting it constantly close to blowing head gaskets, then doing donuts on top
I suspect a bored little rich kid trying to create themselves a lazy career to boost their ego using daddys trust fund money.
Does someone have more infos on that one ? Belongs to Teodorin Obiang, son of Equatorial Guinea President. Lots of stories about him. The car looks US spec, and is currently in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have a hunch this USA-spec F40 is the ex-Otis Chandler 92017 fitted with LM-type seats, that said given it's location VIN verification won't be easy, when daddy is a longstanding African Dictator security has to be tight. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The wrong thread for this I know but speaking of Obiang, I once ran into him in this Giallo F50 (a Eu car that was once USA Federalized which is now also back in Equatorial Guinea in West Africa) exiting the Dana Pointe California Ritz Carlton one summer night about 15 years ago, I could have sworn his obviously retrofitted stereo was playing the 90s Geto Boys hit Damn it Feels Good To Be A Gangster...

One more indiscretion before we return to our regularly scheduled F40 programming, despite all of the much-publicized International seizures, the F40 has as stablemates in Equatorial Guinea not only the Giallo F50, but this Giallo Enzo, and a new Giallo LaFerrari also.

And now, anyone looking for a fantastic low-miles Eu F40 please contact me offline. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks a lot Joe. I can't believe that when I was born, his father was already president since two years ahah I remember that story you told about. That was when he was living in a lavish U shaped mansion in Malibu. He recently bought a Green SP2 and a Giallo Laf Aperta.
Giallo LaF seized in Switzerland, no evidence he bought it back. Currently has Giallo F50, Enzo and LaFA, Rosso 812S , 512TR, F40,612 in Malabo There's a Red GTO at Petersen museum that has been seized Anyway, back on track Maybe I'll start an Obiang thread. that dude is incredible
