Auktion: Wurde 2022 (kurz) angeboten über RM Sotheby’s, Private Sales, mit folgendem Text: «The example offered here is among the earliest built, being the 27th F40 produced by chassis sequence. Delivered new to Italy, according to this car’s original service book, it was purchased by Carlo Sama of Ravenna from Motor S.p.a., the authorised Ferrari dealer in Modena, just a few miles from the factory gates. The car would return to Motor S.p.a for its first service in October 1988 and would later be serviced at Michelotto, in Padova, at 7,900 kilometres in May 1990. Remaining in its native Italy for nearly a decade, the F40 was sold to the Netherlands in 1997 and was re-registered there, where it has lived since and spent most of its time in the hands of a single owner. The car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original chassis, bodywork, engine, and gearbox. The F40 was last serviced by Kroymans Ferrari, the official Ferrari dealership in the Netherlands, in March 2021 when the odometer displayed 29,970 kilometres, with the fuel tanks having been last replaced in November 2020. In June 2021, the front brake discs and pads were replaced, and the original seats were reupholstered. In September 2022, Kroymans Ferrari performed an inspection on the car, confirming its exceptional condition. Its report stated: “that the car is in very nice condition and well mantianed…the car is accident-free and that we believed the car is still in its original paint. (Only the front bonnet is inconclusive)”.»
