Sad.. but pretty funny.

Imagine doing that on a "PPI". You break it... you bought it!

Looks like the whole thing is out of shape.

 

I guess they don't use spell check in Japan....

 

Gatta be kidding me!

Couldnt resist.........

 

"Take the car with clean title and make big $$ "

Ummm, NO?!

 

130k GBP is waaay to much. 130k USD maybe, and even that's a big stretch. motor with 7k miles, a tranny and a bag of misc parts. 50k sounds more reasonable

 

+1 : Crazy, this will never, nor should be a Ferrari again for that starting price unless someone's wet-dream of a car makes more sense than common sense.

Thing this car can do is be parted out, but at that price it will never recoup the costs in this decade.

OR

take off the entire body, put on some custom, cheap racing shell and track it....who cares about damage.

BTW: Interesting the engine cover recieved little damange.

That a car could a make a me happy long time

 

Just realized thats a real LM. Somebody went out with their hair on fire!

Would love to get my hands on those CF airboxes, among other things

 

Woof!

That is ROUGH.

 

Well guy's there has been two Fchatter' s who has fully restored F40's both I think from fires I could be wrong on the one on the cause. And they are like new or even better. So if the price of the car is right it would be a steal for someone to get the car and restore it for the price of a used one if the seller came down on that SICK price. If I was in the market I would do it in a second. There are threads on here both of the cars one was sent back to ferrari to have it fulyl rebuilt. And there are pics of the full rebuild I think the one was black. So it's nothing wrong if the price is right. Plus you will have a clear title and new f40 but the price of the car needs to be cheap bottom line.

 

Whatever your smokin' I'll take a pound....

 

That makes me think of the Top Gear episode where they destroy the Toyota pickup. LOL Right after he drove it into the tree!

 

So basically you are saying, 'He is full of sheet?'

 

Well Roland rebuilt his F40 but I really don't think it was this bad off after the fire.

 

Somebody should've told the driver that the middle pedal makes it stop goin'.

 

afaik rolands car is still for sale. 600k. Hardly an example of something that is new or better. Nobody wants to pay 600k for a kit car in this environment when legit ones can be had for almost half the price. just my 2 cents

 

I'm not smoking anything guys like I said you can fix that car to new and have a clear title if the price of the donor car is good I will stick with that anyday. Some people buy for resale but some people buy because they really want one for life. I wish I knew the thread of the other f40 fully restored and then offered for sale it's on here. Anyway look at vintage ferraris all fully restored to new or even better if the price is right and you have the money it can be done. Again the price of the donor car must be a steal. If I have the chance to buy a used f40 with lets say 1500 or 2000 miles or a brand new fully restored f40 by micheletto I would buy the fully retored car by micheletto do a search for the thread and you will see the car I'm talking about the owner sent it back and had them fully rebuild the car and posted pics on Fchat. And was looking for buyers. I would by that car before I bought a used one on the market. Hell there rebuilding enzos and then having people buy them back no different. As for Roland I think the car is well put together but the price is insane.

 

1. Always some controversy surrounding Roland's car. At the risk of offending at least half the people on F-Chat, I will say this: While I recognize that Roland's car is not entirely to factory spec, it is a far, far cry from a "kit car."

2. In fact, I think it's pretty cool that Roland was able to rescue a fire-damaged F40 and turn it back into a very awesome car.

3. I think Roland, and all the others involved in the project, deserve some credit for making this work. It wasn't anywhere near as simple as just bolting some prefabricated body parts onto a Pontiac Fiero.

4. Along the way, Roland and everyone else involved in the project encountered numerous and significant obstacles that could have prevented completion of the project. It took a great deal of expertise and no small amount of luck to see the project to completion.

5. Who's to say that something similar could or could not be done again with this car, just from reading the eBay listing? It would take a great deal of money, talent, expertise, and luck. And luck's the riskiest factor to rely on.

6. I like Roland and admire what he did. His car is awesome. I refuse to participate further in any debate regarding whether he has a right to call it a Ferrari. He did an admirable thing just by getting it back on the road. I don't see myself paying $600k for it, but it's Roland's car so it's worth what it's worth to him. (And it's been up for sale for some time now; if Roland were desperate to sell, he'd come down in price. If he won't, then his car's worth $600k.)
