The ex-Sultan 'grey' RHD F40 is about to come up for sale (not with me), now repainted in red with a 'standard' F40 interior, rather than the grey leather it had. Additions to a standard F40 include electric windows, door handles (luxury!), plumbed in fire extinguisher and integrated role cage. It does look fantastic, and the way things are going with F40s may be a good purchase!

Thought the F40 addicts might be interested.

nice! believe Ferrari only made about 7 RHD F40's most of them were probably sold to oil barrons and sheikhs/sultans etc. should be worth a good few bob though!
have you still got the red F40 in your showroom?

Around 1998 (if memory serves me right) I paid a visit to
Straight Eight on Goldhawk Road where they had a black F40.
The salesman was happy to let me sit in it and take a few photos
and I was surprised to find that the whole interior was
fully upholstered in black leather; seats, doors, dash - the lot.
It was also fitted with a huge car phone between the seats and electric
everything. In my amazement at the kitted-out cabin I didn't notice
if it was LHD or RHD.

Forthright - sadly I don't have a showroom - yet - although the details of the F40 are still available from me (see the classified for info). I'm marketing the car on behalf of a client.

Johnny 5 - 'fraid it's not my place to say as it is POA, but considering the RHD F50 went for about £50-75k over what a regular F50 sells for, you can make your own estimations. The F50 was apparently valued at £1m by Coys though! If you are interested please PM me and I will supply you with the details - early interest may secure the car before the adverts appear.

There was a black F40 at Garage on the Green in the mid 90s, it looked great. However only 7 RHD F40s were made, of which this is the only one to have escaped (although I believe there is also a yellow one, though I'm not sure where it came from or who did the conversion). In fact I'd love to know any firm details of other RHD F40s out there.
