F40 Competizione GT

Just browsing the Bonhams catalogue and saw this F40. Pretty amazing history as it's first owner was the man who designed the Mugello racing circuit and was a personal friend of the great man himself - Enzo Ferrari. I searched the F40 Da Corsa book and it's indeed in there - anyone going to bid? Seems pretty cheap for what it is.

For interest I've decided to go to the aution on Saturday - searched the web and came up with quite a few references to this car.

If I had the money, would it be a decent buy I wonder? [The real thing, not the toy below!!]

Some intresting metal at the auction, I'll assume the Jaguar F1 is a rolling chassis only. It'll be intresting to see what the round-the-world Rover goes for. The Merak sems a steal. A friend of mine has a Monkey Bike he was thinking of restoring this summer, there's one there for a top price of £1600 unrestored !

Looks like it didn't sell, is this right ?
