F40 Spotted - Marina Walk

[matt_knowles]

Just a quick one here.

Was out last night collecting some food shopping (reluctantly as the mrs didn't want to go! haha), but in the end I was glad I went.

Never seen an F40 up close and personal (and in the wild), but my god its everything I expected.

Even though it was busy, there was just no other attention on the car. It was nice to just stand there and soak up the details.

Anyway, couple of camera phone photos for you!

Heh, just casually parked outside work, you're right, was there well over 2 hours with very little interest.

Saw an F40 a few months back being delivered...maybe the same one:



Along with this:



Same guy having them delivered to somewhere in the Marina

Different plate, but you never know!

That one being delivered though......not sure I'd be too crazy about the lack of a wash! haha

Awesome!

In this day and age, the youth (or people not in the know) won't be wowed by an F40. It'll have to be a P1, LaFerrari or Veyron to get them excited.

the front plate does not do the car any favours.

Familiar looking car there Claire...
Nice guy who owned the pair of them as well, even if he didn't offer to let us take the F40 for a spin lol

Great spot! Ive only ever been fortunate enough to see them at motor shows.

Always remember the docklands show in London though, they did a moving display and one car was an F40, it was getting hammered in 1st and 2nd gears, the noise oh just the noise, and the flames aswell was awesome to behold.

Even worse it looks like someones clumsily rubbed the dust with a hand all over the bonnet... just like sandpaper, ouch.

I'm sad that I didn't get to spot it, that's why I posted the sadface. It looks stunning!
