My understanding is that there is a ridiculous asked price for a wreck located in an unsafe place...

 

Interesting car but personally I would not want an F40 with that history.

 

Burn it and bury it in the desert where it belongs so nobody mentions that psychopath's name every again

 

Jesus, it needs a nice tune up...or a rebuild.. it sounds awful!

 

In the Middle East souk (market) mentality the price always starts at the top. You have to negotiate and work the seller down. Finding the car cannot be all that difficult. The problem is bribing all of the officials to permit the car to be placed on a ship, for export. You need someone familiar with the process to bribe the Iraqis. Best option is to pay an Iraqi by holding company after the item has been exported, to the West. Without knowing the process it takes to bribe the Iraqis, the effort to buy the F40 will probably end up going south. It is not a good idea to bring a small paper bag stuffed with $100 bills, to bribe all the different Iraqi officials along the way.

 

You can get a fine one with nice history from Germany for just around € 1,200,000

 

what parts are missing?

 

Fascinating, I followed your link but seemed to have missed the current whereabouts? do you know where it lies today?

 

From the pics..the car is not worth much more then 250k..the value is in the vin number..thays it..the rest is junk..

 

in Saudi

 

Probably the only F40 I would never want to own, and that is nothing to do with its current condition.

Yes its only metal and composite at the end of the day, but it was taken by force from its true and rightful owners, to be abused by someone who thankfully is no longer alive.

 

Did you guys watch the video ?

The whole thread is about ther car being found in Erbil, Kurdistan province, Irak

 

Really sad to see it trying to be driven around like while misfiring & sputtering, it's a 250k car tops.

 

Yes but since the poster asked where it lies....its in saudi.

 

Nope, it's still in Erbil

 

Thank you, sirs, appreciate the info—a fascinating story.

I agree that the previous owner gives the car negative esteem. That said, many don't follow any existential/metaphysical beliefs, and it would only be symbolic - one could try to hide the fact.

As far as ROI, I am ignorant and defer to much wiser and experienced folks for restoration worthiness.

 

Good luck with that, I would think it would be near impossible to do such.

 

thats like owning one of those mercedes that hitler or goebbels drove around - would not want to own it.

 

You may be right there are two different videos , in Saudi Arabia right now

 

The real legal owner is the Kuwaiti guy from wich the car was stolen from in 1990

 

Raghad Hussein, Daughter of Saddam, is threatening anyone who will try to get to intend legal action

Since the car was stolen by his father or brother to its Kuwaiti legal owner (according to Marcel Massini, wich is a trusted source usually) that woman is really funny

Like we say in french "Scumbags dare anything. That's how you recognize them"

 

With the amount of work that car will need (hardly is going to have been stored in a bubble, has it!), it's worth 200K at best. Especially with Corona happening now lol.
