F40 Photos

Through the magic of reverse image search, I found the source. There are a couple other shots as well. Taken at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, CA, 10 years ago.

Correct, those aren't real cars.

The F40 in that image is 86840, an exceptional USA F40 sold by us from our Illinois client to our California client @ 11 years ago when it had 3,400 miles.

He still has this F40, I've posted about it in the past in the USA F40 thread several times including here www.ferrarichat.com, also seen here with his 288 GTO.

F40 85944 which we sold to a Southern California collector who really loves it.

 

One of the more interesting European F40s we have sold is the ex-Stefano Casiraghi 80161, which now resides in a USA collection with 288 GTO, F50, Enzo (an original Nero/Nero example) and LaFerrari.

This a rare Lexan Sliding Windows F40 sold new to Monaco, collected at Maranello on EE.733.AK plates.

When we facilitated it's sale, it had just over 4,000 km and had been certified by Ferrari Classiche.

80161 as it exists in the USA today - apologies for the low-resolution images which this platform causes.

Another Lexan Sliding Windows F40 we've sold to our longtime USA client is F40 80715, delivered in April 1989, it's an early LSW non-cat non-adjust F40, factory-certified by Ferrari Classiche, and has now undergone a comprehensive refurbishment here in the USA as a result of which it'll surely be one of the nicest F40s extant.

Repainted?

A comprehensive restoration.

When 80715 is completed, with the owner's permission I'll see if we can share images of what will be the way the factory would have wanted to complete the cars if they had the time.

 

Conversely, the pinnacle of unmolested totally original Eu F40s we have sold has to be F40 85289, all the characteristics you want to see in an as-new F40, totally unmodified, weave everywhere, all components as-new, even the white plastic cover for the metal throttle kick-plate was still in situ, however this is definitely the exception for most F40s which are simply 31 to 35 year-old used sports cars.

Along with six F50's, there were three F40's at Exotics on Broadway during Monterey Car Week 2022.

#92396 represented by GT Motor Cars, who sold the car nearly a year later (after a Bonhams no-sale at Amelia 6 months ago)
#77833 a heavily-modified example with a bunch of LM parts, sold by Curated in Miami right before this event I believe, and presented here for the first time by its new owner with the Marlboro wrap
#? an example quickly spotted by me on its way out, wearing a white wrap - I've seen discussion/photos passed around of this one on FChat and I believe it appeared later in 2022 in a pink wrap at a show somewhere

If anybody was at EoB last month, I'm curious to hear how many F40's and F50's were there this time. I didn't make it to Monterey this year. One thing I remember from this event last year - amazing cars, horrid photo opportunity. Thousands of people shoulder to shoulder down the entire street.

Apparently there is an F40 in this shot!

please don't lie to us.....

 

I can see it, it has the eyes wide open!

 

Indeed the event has become oversized and the whole weekend is a bit too busy IMO!

92396 was an F40 we sold from Dallas to New York a number of years ago, a stunning USA example despite it's 8,000 plus miles, but I fear GT Motorcars had it priced a little too high that's why it took so long to sell, FWIW the only reason our client let it go is he replaced it with a very low miles example.

77833 is a car that was much-modified in Japan where it lived for many years, it was modified with the LM components there, said to have @ 8,000 on the clock it then sold for 1.8m Eu to Miami where it was wrapped etc.

The white wrapped car that is now pink wrapped is I believe 84760 which lived for years in the Netherlands registered FF-FP-30, then sold to the USA where it has been much modified.

Here's an old image of 92396 from many years ago with personalized plate when owned by Emmett M from whom we sold it.

92396 is the 184th USA F40 built and is an award-winning example (all the more puzzling why ot took so long to sell), here shown winning at the Manhattan Concours for Jim A.

And there's JR of GTMC representing the car - funnily enough, I met him for the first time in front of this very same example at Cavallino Palm Beach 2021. It was the first major event I attended in the early days of me poking my head into this industry.

Keep up the good work, it's important to give these rare icons chronological context & perspective with informed identities, history and market values.
