A few days later, Mr. Engel displayed the car at the Ferrari Owners Club USA meeting in Long Beach, California. The Ferrari Market Letter, quoting marque authority Marcel Massini, reported that Mr. Engel was listed by the FOC as the car’s owner from 1991 to 1993. In 1992, the original engine suffered a lubrication failure, and a new engine was installed under warranty. At that point, the odometer appears to have been zeroed. In January, 1993, the car was shown by Mr. Harry Eberlin at an FOC meeting in Long Beach, California, and in April 1994, was traded to Garry Roberts and Company of Costa Mesa against a Ferrari 275 GTB/C Berlinetta. In 1995, Garry Roberts offered this F40 for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter, with the odometer reading about 12,500 miles, but only a few thousand on the new engine. In June of 1995, a new Indiana title was issued, with the odometer reading 3,815 miles. The Carfax shows that this F40 passed Indiana emissions tests in April of 1998 and September of 2004. In June of 2006 it was serviced at Chicago-area Ferrari dealer Lake Forest Sports Cars, the odometer then reading 5645 miles. In December, 2006, the car was listed for sale from inventory, with an odometer reading of 14,565. It was sold April 16, 2007 and re-registered in Encinitas, California, on May 4th of that year. A year later, it was offered for sale by Paramount Auto Group, with a reported mileage of 14,314. On December 4, 2008, the car was registered in Montana, and later that month was serviced at Ferrari and Maserati of Newport Beach, California, which recorded mileage of 6384. In May 2006, the car, now with about 14,000 miles, appeared for sale in The Ferrari Market letter. Owner V. Thomas Taglia of Ogden Dunes, Indiana, described it as being in excellent condition with tools, books, and service records. The car re-surfaced in the July 2006 issue of the Ferrari Market Letter, offered by Exoticars of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was then purchased by Mr. Joseph Gaddini of Asheville, North Carolina. In 2006, Mr. Gaddini carried out a major service (30k mile) and extensive maintenance work at a cost of more than $50,000. In April, 2008, he decided to sell this F40 (he apparently had more than one); a sales ad in the August 2008 Ferrari Market Letter placed by Steve Barney’s Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro, North Carolina, stated that the car had received new seats, clutch, tires, a Tubi stainless exhaust, brakes, floor pan, Kevlar front pan, and stainless brake lines at 14,134 miles. In October, 2008, the car was offered on eBay by The Sports Car Company of La Jolla, California, from whence Tony Hart purchased it on November 13, 2008, with the odometer reading 6346 miles. On May 31, 2011, Mr. Hart displayed it at the FOC’s Pasadena Concours d’Elegance, receiving a Platinum Award in Class 8. The owner states that it receives proper annual service at The Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills, California. Finished in its correct Rosso Corsa, this spectacular Ferrari is fitted with its factory-original five-spoke center-lock Speedline modular alloy wheels in 8J x 17 and 10J x 17 size, shod with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. There is a Tubi triple-outlet stainless exhaust system which adds a wonderful symphony (the car’s original exhaust system is included), and an anti-theft system was installed. Regularly driven and properly maintained, this F40 starts instantly and idles smoothly, with its turbo-muffled engine crackling ominously.»
