Ferrari F40 – #83249

Alain Prost

VIN: ZFFGJ34B000083249
Engine: 18272

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Sealed, May 2023, no price given. Chassis number #83249 was built at the end of 1989 – and was then given to Alain Prost, who joined Ferrari for the 1990 season. In February 1990, the F40 was actually registered in Prost’s home town of Meribel in France. But Prost never drove the generous gift – worth just over 400,000 francs – and instead turned it into money quite quickly. Before he sold it to Ferrari collector Graham de Zille through a Ferrari dealer, he signed the F40 on the roof. But even de Zille probably had no love for this vehicle; it was soon sold again – and passed through many hands in the last few years. And yet it was driven less than 5,000 kilometres – a fate that this Ferrari F40 shares with many of its brothers.
