F40 USA version coming to auction

Great VIN number to own, surely that will add a premium in itself?

Or it could be any number of variations in-between.

Agreed that's a very cool VIN number but I doubt it'll bring a premium, we've just sold a CGT with a 01234 VIN number said by some to be very desirable but I don't think it brought any extra money https://www.sackeyandco.com/results

The 146th Tipo USA F40, based in Oregon and owned by a discerning gentleman we recently sold a stunning 275 GTB/4 to.

 

.....Wyoming.

Even number serial number.

That makes it a race car, not a street car, right?



Matt

 

He's in Wyoming & California, but the F40 is stored with some other cars in Oregon.

 

We both know all that, of course....

Marcel Massini

 

Correct, I meant the F40 itself was based in Oregon, all good.

 

Interesting to see F40s have surpassed 275 GTB and possibly GTB4s in value.

 

is there a bigger market cap car? around $2.6B.
Mclaren F1 around $2B?

 

Seems about right.

 

I'm curious. First time seeing market cap applied to collectables let alone cars. Are you saying the market cap is number of cars X average price? In the F40's case, roughly 1,300 X $2M = $2.6B?

Is market cap important for a car line? Again, just never saw it looked at this way.

yep that's the math.

my view is the more market cap the more indicative the state of the market as there are that many more voters in real size...

 

Tell us the truth, when are you launching the F40Coin and F40NFT.... Crypto for sure has brought market cap back in vogue

 

Ha! Im pretty sure my much savvier/smarter friend redshift75 beat me to it.

 

250 GTO, 75m x 36 = 2.7b

 

all 75 cars trade for an average of $75? i thought it was lower.

 

This is exactly the problem with using market cap for collector cars/items. They are not fungible.

 

not so. come up with a reasonable average and you get 90% there, if not 100%.

 

Agreed.

The market cap discussion is becoming more widespread recently and I know some collectors are looking for buying opportunities at least partially based on this metric. Very interesting stuff and another indication that specialty cars are maturing as an asset.

 

It'll do well I think, but it's possible that some may wait for comparable (Classiched, serviced etc) but lesser-travelled USA F40 with @ 2,000 miles and unique ownership provenance coming to the market soon.
