Having been dry stored for almost 30 years, it boasts just two private owners from new. Accordingly, it displayed a remarkably low 1,799 kilometres on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. Ordered by the first owner in June 1989, per the accompanying history report compiled by marque authority Marcel Massini, this car was built between 15 November and 6 December. Configured to European specification and fitted with air conditioning further to manual wind-up windows, rather than the more basic sliding arrangement, the F40 rolled out of the Maranello gates in the most desirable form: without catalytic converters or adjustable suspension. The following week, it was delivered new to Belgium via Jacques Swaters’ famed Ferrari concern Garage Francorchamps SA in the capital city of Brussels. Purchased via a lease agreement on 13 December 1989, the F40 was registered two days later by the original owner in his company’s name. A stamp in the accompanying service book records that the car returned to its supplying dealer for a service on 11 June 1990, at which time the odometer was noted with just 1,226 kilometres. However, in October 1992, the lease deal ended ahead of the Ferrari being taken off the road and dry stored for 29 years. During this period, in 1994, the F40 featured in issue 21 of Auto Collection magazine. Chassis 83620 was then acquired by the vendor, just the car’s second owner, in October 2021. It was swiftly submitted to long-time Ferrari collaborator and world-renowned marque expert Michelotto Automobili in Italy for recommissioning. Every effort was made to preserve the originality of the exterior paint—even the original set of tyres was retained—while the mechanical components were meticulously overhauled. As part of a two-year process, the engine and gearbox mounts were replaced; so too were the fuel tanks, pumps, lines, and filters. A new clutch and suspension joints were fitted. Furthermore, the turbochargers and braking system were rebuilt, the wheel bearings greased, and the cooling system refreshed. Alongside a service and cambelt and service belt change, the total work exceeded €165,000 (invoice available to view on file). Upon completion, the car was shaken down by Cristiano Michelotto himself and it has remained in storage with the firm. As a courtesy from the consigning owner, the F40 will receive a fresh cambelt service prior to sale. In addition, chassis 83620 has been submitted to Ferrari Classiche for inspection, with a view to securing its important “Red Book” certification, which was pending at the time of the catalogue going to print. In addition to the Massini report and Michelotto invoice, accompanying documentation includes the car’s original Belgian registration form, the Certificate of Conformity from Garage Francorchamps dated to December 1989, correspondence over the lease agreement, and the relevant issue of Auto Collection magazine. The F40 is also supplied with its leather folio containing the service book and owner’s guides, plus its tool roll, spare belts, and Agip tyre inflator kit.»
