Rare 1989 Ferrari F40 Heads to Auction
This rare 1989 Ferrari F40, Classiche-certified and restored in Maranello, could fetch up to €2.8 million at auction.
An icon of raw automotive brilliance, the Ferrari F40 was the final design to be signed off by Enzo Ferrari.
Originally planned as a 400-unit anniversary model in 1987, demand for the car’s visceral driving experience extended production to 1,315 units.
Now offered for auction, chassis number 80763 is a rare European-specification example in the highly sought-after “non-cat, non-adjust” configuration.
Delivered new in Brussels via Garage Francorchamps in August 1989, it was sparingly driven in its early years before moving to the United Kingdom in 1997, where it remained for over two decades.
In 2021, the car returned to Italy for a full rotisserie restoration near the Ferrari factory. Mechanical work was entrusted to Carrozzeria Zanasi of Maranello, while the bodywork and repaint were carried out by Bonfatti of Modena.
A front-end paint protection film was also applied. The restoration is documented in a bespoke carbon fibre and Kevlar photo case.
Registered in France and Ferrari Classiche certified in April 2022, the F40 retains its matching-numbers chassis, engine, body, and gearbox.
It is offered with its original exhaust and seat harnesses, tool roll, Agip tyre sealant kit, Red Book, and a comprehensive history compiled by marque expert Marcel Massini.
With just 17,300 kilometres recorded, this F40 is an exceptional example of Maranello’s analogue masterpiece; restored with precision, documented in detail, and ready for a discerning new custodian.
