F40 Spotted!

[ya55erm]

Wondering if anyone saw the F40 driving twards manchester on the m62 from liverpool on tuesday?

it was running on the inside lane and i was in the far lane on the opposite direction and i could still hear the amazing machine!

There is one in Leeds and another in Pudsey as far as I know, may have been one of those??

Was it N Reg?

[tonyhetherington]

(genuine question, not a pedantic one)...

..Steve, how could it be N reg? I thought they were all made in 87/88 and very early 89 (or have I just completely made that up)?

If it was N it would be 96/97 - the F50 was around then, wasn't it?!

[anniesdad]

There's at least 1 N reg. knocking about..... I've been in it. This may or may not have some bearing on your question but it was the second to last ever built.

blimey

when was it built? did they just not register it until 96 or was it actually built in 96?

oh...edit; GIT

Ferrari F40 Production period 1987-1992 Number built 1311

However it's not beyond the realms of possibility that perhaps....say.....one of them, was delivered to somebody outside of the UK, unregistered, kept as a garage queen, bought by a UK resident, then registered new in 1996, with very few km's on the Odo.

You never know Tony, if you're good for Santa you might get to see it one day and maybe even get a passenger ride!

[tonyhetherington]

You wouldn't beleive how crossed my fingers are at the moment!
(note to Tony; BE GOOD!)

He will relent one day and it will make it to VMAX. We only discussed VMAX again the other day.
