Thank you Albert LP but I am simply a keen amateur enthusiast of the F40 and its derivatives, I am building a Ferrari based homage type car which will have a correct F40LM body, but like the 288 mentioned recently on the other thread its not an original or will have any claims made of such.
I am currently looking after a prototype. For a complete Ferrari nerd like myself it’s definitely an amazing piece of history to have in my barn. The differences throughout the car just keep being found. I’m up to about 20 visible differences now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks, Charles. Could be, but remember that the "Prova" plates were moved from a car to another and sometimes each test driver had "his" test plate so the test plate is not enough to learn which car was. Reparto Esperienze received ten F40 for testings Image Unavailable, Please Login Paul, let me say you are a polite and modest (my English is so and so, with "modest" I mean "not vain at all") guy that knows more of what he says: I'm sure it will be a great F40 "homage". ciao
The obvious one to most of us is the amount of rear spoiler vents, 5 not 4. There are loads though, Leather quilted headlining, various different types of grills/mesh used, different door internals, tyre tread pattern, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Disagree. Even if one car had the number 10 taped on it does not mean that they got ten cars. Marcel Massini
Who says no, Marcel: I suppose they are ten as they put a progressive number on each one. But if you can or want explain why they skipped a number, I'm pleased to learn. I'm sincere, no humor here. I know that #7 badly crashed on an highway aside Modena, Dario Benuzzi driving: he lost the car that did a 180 degrees and hit a tree on the embankment aside the highway. It was on the local newspapers of the time (1988). ciao
Both epic images reposted from my Joe Sackey Classics Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/p/B2vn-sGlB8P/ & https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sKjDNFOpZ/ , the former from Cavalleria archives, the latter from the Automobilia archives.
I don't mind my Instagram posts being copied here at all, but it would be better to add the link so viewers have access to the captions. So often there are posts of images on FChat with little or no information, more is better.
Thank you for pointing out that you are just joking, thus sparing all of us Alberto's inevitable lengthy rebuttal to dispute that the aforementioned jacket was ever used by Ferrari SpA during those tests, and furthermore, you are not even allowed to suggest same on a public forum
Note the rear bumper with no fog lights, and the very early mesh grille with them in instead, I don't think either featured on the production cars apart from the bumper in US spec later on. I don't think they are production mirrors either. Pinin badge looks to be missing also Interesting in that it is using the smaller 328/288 style glazing bars rather than the production sidelight style which is slightly bigger on the F40 in order I guess to make the mirrors more functional.
I like how all these prototypes have sliding windows...... thats how they seem to have been originally engineered and designed.
