Just seen this on my facebook, looks to be the same spec as your car, if it isnt you!

That's hilarious spotted within a few hours. Had driven from Nottingham straight into Central London for lunch.

Thanks! In the sunlight TdF is stunning, I think the black calipers and carbon bits help make it more focused. I'd have liked rosso something but decided to try something different. There was a Speciale in the showroom in red, black (non Nart) stripes, black wheels and yellow calipers. Amazing but a very different vibe.

Ahahahaha......that was Mrs Camlet for sure. Hakassan was her treat for leaving home with me at 06:30 this morning to go pick up the new motor.

Driving impressions vs the other two? Great question and difficult to answer.

To keep it short I'd put the three as follows: the F40 is a riot.....small, hilariously basic, a go kart on steriods, impossible not laugh with every second at the wheel............the 599 GTO is kinda the polar opposite, huge by comparison, epic, continent crushing scale, awesome sound, a mean mother that demands respect........and from today's experience (not to mention V8 vs V12, modern systems everything vs a key lol) I'd place the Speciale somewhere between the two. Which isn't a bad place for it to be
