F40 with stripe

i have another pic somewhere....no info

looks like it is set up as a road rally car, not so much for track use, note the high ride height, sliding window, the headlights were probably removed, but my best guess is that they are masked for repainting.

 

i know this, i am a very familair with the f40. check the lower lip on the grille, note in one it is a placard and in the other it is painted. the one with the masked headlights has a new windshield.

i think it is an 88-89 model, something familiar about it, still can't place it.

 

This is F40 S/N 84143 with Monaco plate.

 

It is Ferrari F40 s/n84184, I see it last year. Now it is in Geneva Automobile Museum, i see it in march this year. I have 75 photos of it, they will be this summer online on my website.

Here is 4. Alain

 

thank you Alain

 

No, this is not true. Height adjustment was made available by Ferrari during the F40 production run. I don´t know exactly when, but I guess somewhere around 1989 or 1990. Earlier cars did not have it.

 

Hi Alain,

Got the S/N from www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/events-stories/museum/geneva-auto-museum/geneva-auto-museum-gallery-ferrari/index.html

At the end of may, I have to go at the Museum and I will check the s/n. But normally I wrote the s/n when I took the pictures. And I know the coachbuilder who repaired it and perhaps he has a copy of the license-drive.

the license plate of the car is from Monaco

 

Salut Alain,

I confirm it is 84184. I spotted it at Garage Zenith, Sion 3 years ago. Nice pics.

Ciao

Great pictures cavallino. It's an F40 Stradale!

 

LOL! That's true!

 

The headlights are just protetected by ducttape agaisnt stone chips for either track or road rally use.

 

Did anybody know if this is the car from the first owner Mr. Charles Züger from Switzerland? Was it first plated in Switzerland?

 

First off: Andrew is right. He simply taped over it for a track event or the like.

Also, the adjustable hydraulic height system was an option for european cars. No US car shipped with it, and only 10 kits were made for the US market, priced at $25k at the time. All 10 kits were swallowed up VERY quickly.
