RE: Ferrari F40: PH Used Buying Guide
Discussion
I'm launching 4 businesses specifically with a goal of purchasing an F40 in a few years. Was on a poster in my bedroom growing up. Stunning car ,not really worth the cash but what is? I wonder which way prices will go it's not limited edition and most are cosseted and many owners sell on after getting bored so not good enough to hoard as owners likely realise it's just a car or perhaps they sold at a profit they are happy with as prices have risen?

Hmm.....
1100kg. That's less than that VW Polo you are getting moist about......
Progress. Not.
Never liked the F40 that much BTW
are you lamenting the fact that a polo weighs more than this?1100kg. That's less than that VW Polo you are getting moist about......
Progress. Not.

A 1989 Polo g40 is a more relevant comparison at 840 kilos, half a tonne heavier the new one is but everything has moved up, the Up Gt is under a tonne, so given all the improvements in safety and kit, maybe things aren't so bad, though 1359 kilos does seem pretty heavy.
Anyway, don't really get Ferraris, like to see them but a bit too much of a show pony for me usually but the F40, I make an exception for.
The F40 has been my poster car since it came out... for a while (thanks to a bit of luck job wise) one even seemed vaguely achievable.
Sadly the rise in the last few years up to nearly 7 figures means that this, the best of drivers cars, will remain out of my reach forever.
That fact makes me very sad.
I know there are some owners on this site... please don't just leave them in the garage, get them out, use them, enjoy them, and let those of us who can only dream have that experience of following an F40 at full chat through a tunnel !

What a great fun article. Odd that so many on a motoring forum seem so miserable about it.
You took the words out of my mouth.We all have zero chance of buying one (unless in 1/18 format) but it doesn't mean we can't have a little Friday fun!
Still my fave Ferrari. Buying guide for the F355 next week please?
