Auction: RM Sotheby’s, Monterey 2013, sold for 1’155’000 Dollar, with these informations: «Completing construction in August 1990, this F40 was the 55th example of 213 cars built to United States specifications, and it was fitted with the rare air conditioning option. Although service records indicate that the car was officially delivered on November 17, 1990, little is currently known of the original owner’s identity. In early 1996, the car was offered through Cole Motor Classics, in Burlingame, California, who advertised it with 300 miles of use and the accompaniment of its fitted luggage. Soon after acquired by Mr. Tilley, the F40 was treated to the company of his fine collection, where it enjoyed an ideal life of maintenance and minimal use. Fast Cars Ltd., in Redondo Beach, California, was retained to look after the Ferrari, and their attention included a new spark plug service and the addition of new intercoolers in November 2011 and the installation of a new clutch in June 2012. In December 2011, Mr. Tilley further endowed the F40’s desirable provenance by obtaining Ferrari Classiche certification, ensuring that the car has been evaluated as an authentic example by the highest authority. Currently still displaying approximately 2,900 miles, this scantly used F40 has a long shelf life of engine use and chassis wear ahead of it, and it offers its next caretaker the considerable road and track use of which it is capable. The car retains the original factory air conditioning, and it has been fitted with a competition-style Tubi exhaust for improved engine performance. It is also accompanied by tools, luggage, a full set of owner’s manuals, and the Ferrari Classiche binder».
