A prolific supercar collector, this F40 was delivered new to the original owner’s immense collection where it remained largely out of the public eye over the decades. Upon being removed from storage and entering the United States in 2022, the F40 was subject to a major mechanical recommissioning by Norbert Hofer’s Gran Touring Classics of Long Beach, California. Although in running condition with a few days’ work, a thorough inspection of the car was carried out to determine what would need to be done for it to be able to safely return to the road and a multi-month service began. Total servicing costs exceeded $60,000 and are on file with the car. The original tires were still fitted to the car upon arrival and were replaced due to their age for safety reasons. Fascinating original elements unseen on most F40s can be found throughout this example. Original circular blue stickers from inspection at the factory are still on all four wheels, and carbon weave is visible through the thin paint. Various body numbers and production dates can be found on panels, white factory plastic film still covers the kick plate next to the gas pedal, and the car is free from any modifications. Handwritten dates on the bottom of both carbon seats note the date 31 August 1989. Today the car shows 932 original kilometers (~580 miles) at the time of cataloguing. After its service was complete in April 2023, the F40 was sent to Ferrari Newport Beach, where it was carefully inspected for Ferrari Classiche Certification. At the time of cataloguing, the application to Ferrari was submitted and is pending.» This car was photographed twice.
