Just wondered if there's any recommendations for the most recognised experts in the UK to inspect an F40 and know if it's original genuine example. I've seen a few stories of cars that were heavily crashed or completely burnt out, but these cars have been resurrected as excellent original ferrari classiche certified cars.

Thanks for the recommendations. Sounds like Aldo or DK so far then. I've met Aldo and James Cottingham at race tracks a couple of times so will try them for some initial advice. Looking at verious Web sites there's quite a lot for sale. Mostly POA now. I get the feeling the market is a bit softer than it use to be.

BoxerF50 and traxx, thanks for extra information. Traxx that's exactly the sort of car I'm trying to make sure I avoid. The problem is this type of evidence just proves it's possible to build an F40 from a start point of nothing but a VIN number and get the Ferrari Classiche. If it wasn't for the well documented past of this car who out there can inspect one and know. There will be other cars like this but without the very public evidence to be sure.

Thanks for the advice and pointing me in the right direction for the experts on these cars. I've now successfully secured a car I'm really happy with. :-)
