Who has owned their supercar from new?

I know of a few F40's owned since new....can't think of the names now. I'm sure Joe knows.

IMO a Countach is not a supercar either.

 

Matt,

I know of 6 USA F40 owners that purchased the car new (1990 to 1993) and still have them. The are more I'm sure.
I'm aware of at least 12 people that purchased 288 GTOs new worldwide in 1984/85/86 and still have them according to my list. Again I'm sure there are more than that...
I'm also aware of 5 people that purchased Miuras new and still have them, including 2 that simply drove them out of the factory gates at Sant Agata and have them in their possession today.
I haven't counted how many original Countach owners Ive got on my private registries but Id say for now its something like a dozen...

Several of the aforementioned cars were purchased by 'dad' and are now being driven/maintained/owned by the son. A famed USA hotelier is one such example (the car is a Miura purchased in 1967) and I can think of 4 or 5 others, such as a 288 GTO purchased new that is now in the daughter's garage.

I even know of one story where son was told: "If you do not marry that girl, you will get the Miura SV". Girl immediately forgotten, SV in the garage today.

Another cool story involves a gentleman (who on a 288 GTO and an Enzo) who purchased back his dad's owned-from-new Miura SV after it had been gone from the family for 15 years. I know this man and it will never leave the family again...

The common thread I see amongst all the aforementioned is that they are very private families that don't always share the cars with the public at events and in clubs. I also know that they don't go around bragging: "Its a keeper" or "Ill never sell it!" and such nonsense. They just get on quietly with the business of being good custodian for their steeds (or bulls)...

A female 288 GTO driver...zexy !

 

AFAIK, Gregorio Perez Companc owns all the Ferrari supercars from new.

So a '92 F40 sat on a "lot" until '93, or was it a late build that wasn't delivered until '93 Joe?

 

Kind of off-subject but not really, if you are the original buyer of one of these supercars, do you pay a mark-up, or is that soley second-hand?

My assumption is that you would not pay a mark-up. And furthermore (the off-topic part), when you purchase a 430, 599, or 612 brand new after waiting on the list, do you pay a mark-up or do you pay MSRP..?

I think it was just a year or so ago that there was a "new" F40 that had never been titled for sale on dupont registry.

 

A fair few of them...

One of those 2 is a well known HK person

 

Interesting thread.

 

"it will never leave the family again"


such nonsense

 

My dad has both his Miura SV and Countach since new.

I know of one Enzo owner in Palm Beach that purchased the car new.

There is a collector on the west coast of Florida that has a LM002, 25th and F40 since new.

 

Ah but with that family it has real meaning, as opposed to being hot air being epoused to inlate an ego...

kindly repeat in english

 

lol

 

She must have been one hell of a homewrecker, hah! Great story.

 

Lol!!

I was being serious.........for once.

 

My big chance to join this thread will be the F70 if I am lucky enough to get one. Too young/poor when any other cars that I would keep for a long long time came out

 

In around 30 yrs, I may be able to purchase the "F100" Ferrari Supercar and keep it for a long time.

Till then...........I AM dreaming.
