[_topcat]

I had a quick google but didnt find much. Is there an F40 register?

Thank you my good man. You re are a gem to us lazy googlers.

Don't mention it. Anything I can do to keep a fellow PH thinking about motors is a pleasure.

MARA
I do exactly the same things with video clips as they're a bugger to find

Just been told by an old friend of my late fathers that i can drive his F40. Wanted to find it on the register but dont have the vin number yet. Cant wait. didnt ever think i would get a go in this machine. Fantastic!

I hope the seat is set for someone your height/size. The pain of not being able to drive the thing is almost as bad as the physical pain of not fitting.

Check list:

1. Video camera
2. Camera
3. Someone to film/photo you sampling a piece of history
4. Site to upload your exploits

Well i went and had a look at the F40. Its a bit sick at the moment as the fuel pump is playing up. couldnt get any better shots at the time and only taken with my phone.
When i get to take it out i will make sure its all polished and looking its best.
This is the first F40 ive seen and i must say they aren t as smooth as you may think. This is an ex race car and the finish isnt that impressive. The interior looks a bit, dare i say it, 'kit like'. Ferrari them selves have been in contact with my friend and apparantly not happy at all that a race car is on the road but hey ho.
Any way, will video and take better snaps next time im there.

Think you'll find that is in fact an MR2 with a bodykit...

Weren't there over a 1000 F40's made?? According to the register theres only 180 or so.

Original run was 400 I think? but due to demand they made loads more. Where are all these on the register??

They ended up making well over 1,700 in the end making it a bit common

Unfortunately I think a few of them have met with an untimely demise.

There is a very nice example for sale in Dick Lovett's in Cardiff for a fiver shy of £200K and yes you dont get much in the way of creature comforts for that money.

Ohhh that's top dollar. I thought they were around £140K - £170K
