Legendary, raw, and analog; just a few words that only begin to describe the Ferrari F40. To this day the F40 remains the perfect marriage of technology, soul, and creativity and has been the benchmark for all that is the supercar as we know it today. As with most iconic Ferrari's, the F40 was derived from the need to fulfill an FIA racing class for the upcoming 1986 season which ended up being canceled. This meant that the test bed for the F40, the 288 GTO Evoluzione would go on to fuel the idea for the ultimate road car; as well as Enzo's last and final creation during his lifetime. Unveiled in 1987, the F40 received somewhat of a cynical review by the automotive press. Similar to today's limited production hyper-cars, Ferrari was accused of producing the car purely for marketing reasons and monetary gains, attempting to capture a piece of the booming Ferrari market of the 1980's. The press may have been onto something as it was estimated only 10% of F40's sold were actually being used, a truly harrowing fact. Years later, the cynics weren't necessarily wrong. The F40 was and remains a blue-chip collector car, transcending the boundary between investment and vehicle. While some have been coveted and show very few miles, others have been driven, raced and enjoyed the way Enzo originally intended them to be.
The example on offer, Chassis # 088083, was produced in late 1990 and delivered new to its first owner in February of 1991 via importer Auto Neuser of Nurnberg, Germany. This example is a European Specification example with a catalytic converter and non-adjustable suspension which is sometimes referenced to as an "interim car". This example has had what we believe to be one or two owners throughout the 1990's before being sold to a Japanese collector in 2001 reporting an estimated 11,000 KM. It would remain in the same collection until 2016 when it was formally imported into the US, at which time, it showed about 15,600 KM. During its time in Japan the car was very well kept, serviced regularly, and enjoyed sparingly. It was serviced by the Official Ferrari Dealer, Rosso Scuderia, of Tokyo. The most recent major service (a timing belt change) was completed by Rosso Scuderia in July of 2014 at 14,900 KM. Shortly there after at 15,562 KM, in December of 2015, an additional comprehensive service was also completed. Both of these services are documented.
Upon being imported into the US, the car was immediately sent to Ferrari of Atlanta for Classiche Certification, new brakes on all 4-corners, engine mounts and a variety of other items which were tended to. A few months later upon its arrival with LBI Limited, the experts at Scuderia Performante were entrusted with further service which included new fuel cells, new correct tires, recovering the seats and a variety of minor odds and ends to bring the car up-to-date. Receipts for all work completed are available upon request. Today, the car remains turn-key, perhaps not perfect compared to a no- miles example, but mechanically it is a confident performer and cosmetically we consider this example to be exceptionally well presented per the mileage. Following the servicing, the car was shown at both the Concours of America at St. Johns, as well as Concorso Italiano during Monterey Car Week.
