Then: Broad Arrow, Amelia Island 2025, estimate 3,8 to 4,2 mio Dollar, mit diesen Informationen: «Nearing the middle of F40 production, chassis number 86620 was completed in August 1990 as a 1990 model year—one of approximately 90 U.S.-market examples delivered that year. Originally delivered through Shelton Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale, the significant Ferrari was driven modestly by its original owner, accumulating just 735 by the summer of 1992 when it was offered for sale by European Auto Sales in Costa Mesa, California. In December 1992, with just 771 miles recorded, the F40 passed into the hands of a noted Southern California collector. Over his two-decade stewardship lasting until 2012, the Ferrari was maintained in exceptional condition while adding a mere 221 miles to its odometer. Joining a new private collection in October 2012, the F40 reportedly underwent a comprehensive 1,000-mile service performed by Ferrari Factory Certified Technician John Tirell of Independent Ferrari Specialists at a cost exceeding $18,000. The accompanying CARFAX Vehicle History report notes that the car was subsequently exported from New Jersey to the United Arab Emirates in January 2013, where it was displayed on loan in “The Art of Ferrari” exhibition in Galleria Ferrari at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Dubai, remaining there until July 2014. Upon its return to the United States, still showing just 1,003 miles, the F40 was sent directly to Ferrari of Atlanta. There, it received new tires and underwent thorough servicing and inspection, including the completion of a Ferrari Classiche certification application. Its Classiche “Red Book,” issued in February 2015, notes that the car retains its matching-numbers Tipo F102D engine and Tipo F120DB transmission, original body, and original chassis. Prior to entering the current Florida-based collection in 2023, the Ferrari was reportedly treated to a major service performed by Ferrari of Los Angeles. Chassis 86620 now shows just 1,248 miles since new and maintains an extraordinary degree of originality and factory correctness, which received impressive validation when it earned a Platinum award against strong competition at the FCA Annual Meet in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, in September 2024.»
