Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, London 2014, verkauft für 761’600 Pfund, mit folgenden Informationen: «The F40 presented here comes from single-family ownership from new, and it has covered a mere 18,500 kilometres since being collected by the owner’s mechanic, Mr Luciano, from the factory in June 1989. The car was painted traditional Rosso Corsa and fitted with air conditioning, the desirable wind-up windows, and four-point Sabelt harnesses. Unfortunately, in September 1989, the car was stolen; however, it was quickly recovered and a new set of locks were fitted. The owner again sent his mechanic to collect the car. Whilst driving the F40 home, Mr Luciano was stopped by the police. Unfortunately for him, the officials had not updated their system and believed the car was in fact still stolen. Mr Luciano was arrested and spent one night in jail, until the police realised their mistake and released the innocent mechanic! Since the owner’s passing, the car has remained with his trusty mechanic. Mr Luciano has treated this car as if it were his own child, servicing it meticulously and always cleaning it thoroughly after every outing. He even created a bespoke secure storage box for the car in his garage. The car had to be pushed into the box and winched out, as the doors could not be opened once in the box. On 20 June 2005, the car was serviced by Michelotto with 15,797 kilometres on the clock. More recently, and in preparation for the first time it will have been sold since new, the car was sent to the Ferrari factory in June 2014 to start the certification process. After the initial inspection, the car was found to conform to the certification standards». Dann: RM Sotheby’s, Paris 2017, Schätzpreis 950’000 bis 1’050’000 Euro, nicht verkauft.
