The Ferrari F40

Is any great Ferrari collection complete without an F40? The no-holds-barred twin-turbocharged supercar truly defined an era. And we wouldn’t hesitate to say that no other Ferrari has wound up on quite so many teenagers’ bedroom walls as the F40.

With some 1,300 F40s built between 1987 and 1992, finding an example which stands head and shoulders above the scarlet sea of others is no mean feat. The excellent credentials of this car – chassis number ZFFGJ34B000084362 – certainly left us feeling as though we’d struck gold.

A non-cat non-adjust example from 1990, it’s covered a scant 12,500km, which is verified by the wealth of accompanying service documentation. Sold new to Portugal via Viauto Automoveis LDA in Porto, the car has remained in the very same town ever since, changing hands only once. What’s more, this F40 is Ferrari Classiche certified, confirming all its numbers are matching. We also noted the correct factory markings on the body and the suspension at all four corners, the original user manuals and the factory tool kit.

What’s more, the car is Ferrari Classiche certified, confirming that all its numbers are matching. Ferrari F40s have always been a rare sight in Portugal – just two were delivered to the Iberian Peninsula, which goes some way to explain why this beautiful example was displayed in the Museo do Caramulo between 2017 and 2021.

Suitably impressed by this Ferrari’s condition, originality and provenance, we acquired the car in September of 2021 with a view to presenting it for sale. Prior to its presentation, we contacted a number of our clients who we believed would be great candidates for such an F40. Sure enough, a client voiced an interest and following an inspection in Italy, which is where we transported the car, a sale was agreed.
