As such, it features a correct U.S.-specification deep front lip spoiler, a front rubber strip running into slim side marker lights, a rear rubber strip wrapping around to the rear side marker lights, a lack of lower fog warning lights, and a third brake light positioned above the Ferrari badge. The original Warranty Card and Owner’s Service Book shows that the car was initially delivered on 29 December 1990 via Continental Motors Inc. (now Continental AutoSports Ferrari) to Thomas Murphy of Evanston, Illinois. A copy of the original window sticker also shows that the original price of the F40 including destination charges was a lofty $399,150.00 when new. Records indicate that the F40 next changed hands in March 1994 when it was purchased by Illinois-based neurosurgeon Dr. Sheldon Lazar through Lake Forest Sports Cars (now Ferrari Lake Forest), showing just 248 miles at the time. Over the succeeding decade, the car was routinely serviced by Lake Forest, visiting the dealer for maintenance on as many as thirteen documented occasions including two major belt services at 979 and 3,689 miles. In October 2005, after eleven years of careful stewardship, Lazar sold the F40 to a Florida-based collector. Immediately following their acquisition, the F40’s new caretaker elected to have Lake Forest conduct the car’s third major belt service with 4,747 miles on the odometer. In this ownership, the Ferrari’s meticulous maintenance schedule resumed at Ferrari of Central Florida where it received service on four documented occasions from December 2005 to January 2008, when it was treated to its fourth major belt service at 5,740 miles. This period also saw the exceptionally preserved Ferrari win numerous Best in Class and Best in Show awards at local Florida concours. The car passed to its fourth owner, a California-based collector, in April 2008 showing 5,860 miles at the time. Recognizing the Ferrari’s outstanding originality, its new caretaker submitted the car for coveted Classiche certification which it was awarded in May 2008, certifying that the serial numbers present on the chassis, engine, and transmission are recognized to match factory records. Furthermore, the Red Book notes that the body, suspension system, Brembo disc brakes, and Speedline aluminum wheels are the original, factory-installed components. The Ferrari continued to enjoy regular maintenance at Ferrari of Orange County for a number of years before being relocated to Texas in the early 2010s. The F40 was acquired by the consignor in December 2014 and has since benefited from nearly a decade of careful single ownership. This has included service by Ferrari of Austin and Norwood Auto Italia in Carrollton, Texas, as well as by the collection’s in-house mechanic. Most recently, in August 2023, the renowned marque experts at Norwood Auto Italia treated the car to its fifth major belt service which also involved replacing both fuel pumps, replacing the ignition distributor pickups, and overhauling the air conditioning system at 7,902 miles. A second service followed in November 2023, which saw the water pump rebuilt at 7,912 miles. Finally, a loose A/C compressor and alternator belt, as well as a coolant leak were addressed by Team CJ in January 2024. Now offered with just 8,060 miles since new at the time of cataloging, this fully matching-numbers, meticulously documented Ferrari F40 is surely among the finest examples of the model currently available».
