Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, London 2025, Schätzpreis 2,4 bis 2,8 Millionen Pfund, mit diesen Informationen: «Minimally driven and claiming single ownership for over 31 years, this beautifully presented F40 is a desirable “cat, adjust” example, being factory equipped with catalytic converters and adjustable suspension. According to the research of marque expert Marcel Massini, which is supported by both the warranty booklet and information from the Maranello Concessionaires Archive, chassis number 88605 was completed in February 1991. Correspondence with the original owner demonstrates that the Ferrari was ordered new in 1990 through Maranello Concessionaires, the famed factory-preferred distributor in the United Kingdom. The buyer was one Charles Chong, a marque enthusiast from Malaysia who was a favoured repeat client. In October 1991 Mr Chong sold the F40 to a local sports car dealer called William Loughran Ltd, which three years later sold the car to its current caretaker, a London-based enthusiast who has maintained possession for over 31 years. In February 2025 the F40 was treated to a significant service by Ferrari specialist Autofficina, including a replacement of the cam belts and fuel tank foam elements, refurbishment of the wheels, re-charging of the air conditioner, re-trimming of the seats and headliner, and mounting of new Pirelli tyres. According to an invoice on file, this work totalled almost £49,000. This Ferrari currently displays only 5,346 miles on the odometer, a figure that is supported by steadily increasing mileages shown on MoT test certificates from 2013 to 2025. This testament to the F40’s minimal use clarifies that the car is one of the lesser-driven examples one might encounter. It is also important to note that mechanical stampings consistent with factory data suggest that this car retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox/transaxle, and coachwork, substantially bolstering the car’s desirably original condition. Accompanied by owner’s manuals in the proper leather pouch, and documented with the Massini report, correspondence from the Maranello Concessionaires Archive, warranty booklet, MoT certificates, and the service invoice from Autofficina, this highly original F40 is offered from over 31 years of single-owner care. It shows a gentle patina consistent with its unrestored condition».
