Wouldn't be a surprise to see them respray (or wrap) it red and try to push up the next-resale price. Yellow makes the F40 look like a kitcar.
You're the gift that keeps giving Yapper, of course a F40 with a dodgy colour-change wrap is going to draw in the collectors looking for an investment.

the US cars will always see at a robust premium and modest mileage good history Euro spec non cat non adj are also rated higher. .
Don’t really get that as Euro cars are superior in looks and performance to US spec cars Surely it’s relatively easy to import an 89 or 90 car into the US?
Certainly last year I was approached quite a few times by US dealers about selling mine and I’ve seen pictures of UK cars which were shipped over last year
Like JT, I reckon that 800 cannot possibly be accurate. I also think this might be a reference to number of 'unmolested' / 'no stories' cars.
40% of the production run crashed / written off / modified sounds about right to me...
I'd remind everyone that s/n 80726 was burnt to virtually nothing back in 1993, rebuilt as a fake LM, and has now been resurrected as a Classiche-certified example.

Agreed. Much the same way IMO a manual 599 GTB has a premium over the superior (regular) F1 box. Optimal performance is trumped by rarity. I prefer what the designers intended.Surely it’s relatively easy to import an 89 or 90 car into the US?

You have an F40! Surely it’s relatively easy to import an 89 or 90 car into the US?

Oh my days! If you’re ever in the West Yorkshire area I’d love to see it

I shipped mine over last year. Process is very easy and straight forward once the car is 25 years old.Surely it’s relatively easy to import an 89 or 90 car into the US?

The yellow F40 has appeared in the for sale section of PH at £800k plus many of the other Ferrari’s that were offered for sale at the same auction...?
It’s being advertised by Coys themselves?! So presumably it didn’t sell at the auction and the bids were fake? Same for the rest. Camlet said:

I think part of the premium besides rarity is also having a Ferrari V12 with a proper manual shifter. It would still sell at a premium even if much more than 30 were made. Because it's the last Ferrari V12 with a manual and is N/A at that. One of the reasons I have ZERO interest in new Ferraris is exactly because they are all automatic. I'm fine with an auto box in a Rolls, Bentley or even Mercedes saloon. In a sports car I want to do the shifting. Soon we will not only have auto boxes only but also turbos only. Then N/A cars, even with auto boxes will also carry a premium. N/A with proper manual boxes will keep on raising and raising and raising.
So my dream Ferrari is a F40, followed by a F50, 288, 599 manual, 575/550 manual and then any of the older rear mid engine V8s which came in manual.
