Dann: RM Sotheby’s, Monterey 2018, verkauft für 1’710’000 Dollar, mit diesen Informationen: «This exceptional four-owner example has covered just over 1,700 miles since new. The F40 left the factory on 30 October 1990, assembly no. 03965, and is the 77th of the 213 U.S.-specification examples. In August 1991, the F40 was offered by Ferrari of Walnut Creek, where it was sold to Ronald Budworth of Surrey, British Columbia. The original owner kept the car for 19 years and drove it just 200 miles before selling the car to a friend, a Hawaii-based collector. He kept the car at his California home, servicing it and driving it another 500 miles with the intention of exercising the car. Then in August 2008, the car was sold for a world-record price, making it the most expensive F40 in the world at the time. Clearly an exceptional example, the F40 was then submitted to Ferrari Classiche in 2011, where it was certified without issue. As such, the car was confirmed to retain its original major mechanical components, including engine and transmission. Around this time the car also received a major service at Ferrari of Tampa Bay, invoices for which are included on file. Come March 2017, the car was acquired by the current owner having been driven a mere 1,500 original miles. Today, the car remains in remarkable original condition. The paintwork is virtually flawless – the same paint laid down in Maranello almost 30 years ago. The engine bay, chassis, and interior are similarly as new, with little or no evidence of age».

Dann: Gooding & Co., Pebble Beach 2022, Schätzpreis 2’750’000 bis 3’250’000 Dollar, angeboten mit folgendem Text (Bilder unten): «Completed on October 30, 1990, this F40, chassis 87041, is the 77th of just 213 examples built for the US market. According to factory records, this car was destined for Ronald Budworth of Vancouver, British Columbia, but it is not known if he ever took delivery of the car. In 1993, this car was retailed through authorized dealer Walnut Creek Ferrari and sold to its first known owner, Ferrari collector Bob Scholefield of Ventura, California. Mr. Scholefield kept the car for the next 14 years, drove it fewer than 500 miles, and then sold it to Hawaii-based developer David E. Walters. During his ownership, Mr. Walters drove the F40 sparingly, and kept it in his Burbank, California garage alongside other notable Ferraris, including an F50, Daytona Spider, and 500 Superfast. In August 2008, the low-mileage F40 was sold at auction to lottery winner Steven M. White for what was then a world-record price. Mr. White had his F40 serviced by Ferrari of Tampa Bay, Florida, and certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2011, with the accompanying Red Book confirming that 87041 retains its original chassis, body, engine, gearbox, and other major components. In 2013, the F40 was sold to British golf pro and Ferrari collector Ian James Poulter, who commissioned Ferrari of Central Florida to perform an engine-out service at approximately 1,300 miles, as documented by invoices on file. The current owner acquired the F40 in 2018, and had his in-house, Ferrari-trained technician perform a thorough service and detailing in preparation for Platinum-level concours judging. Completed in fall 2021, this process included reconditioning the fuel injectors, cleaning the throttle bodies, rebuilding the braking calipers, overhauling the air-conditioning system, and detailing the entire car to the highest standards. This detail-oriented effort was rewarded at the Ferrari Club of America Annual Experience in November 2021, where the F40 received four of the club’s most prestigious honors. Not only did 87041 receive a Platinum award, with a perfect 100-point score in judging, it also earned Coppa Bella Macchina and Outstanding Supercar awards. Above all, this magnificent F40 was honored with the coveted Coppa GT award, which requires that a car earn both Platinum and Coppa Bella Macchina awards, and further demands that the driver demonstrate competency, proficiency, and knowledge on the racetrack. At each annual meeting, just three cars are eligible to receive the FCA’s exclusive Coppa GT award. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer displayed just 1,832 miles, and the car presents in exceptional condition in all respects. The hallmark characteristics of a well-kept F40 are visible on the car, from the factory-original ID and data plates, down to the correct US country-code markings on the suspension arms. The Scaglietti body number (75) is present on both door hinges, as well as the front and rear clamshells, and even the fuel filler doors are correctly engraved with “DX” and “SX” markings. Moreover, this remarkable F40 is offered with a proper leather handbook folio – containing the owner’s manual, warranty book, and dealer directory – as well as a tool roll, tire inflator, car cover, and Ferrari Classiche Red Book. It is also accompanied by a file of documentation that includes a history report produced by Marcel Massini, service records, correspondence, FCA judging sheet, and CARFAX Vehicle History Report.» Verkauft für 3’965’000 Dollar!
