    I've read abit about a man called chas kelly, he owns a trucking company in tasmania based in Devonport.
    From what i've read apparently he owns a Ferrari F40 and when i was young i remember going to targa tasmania and seeing a F40 i dont know wether or not it was his.
    Can anyone confirm this, and i've been interested to know just exactly how many F40's are in Australia

    Chas owns an F40 which was famously crashed in the Targa (92 I believe).
    He also owned an F50 for a while and has a collection of Italian motorcycles.
    Chas is an extremely nice bloke.

    The number of F40's in Australia varies as they come and go. At any one time there are about a dozen here.

    I was at targa when the f40 crashed, i dont remember much apart from it being a big red racing car with a huge spoiler, lol i was a little kid and my dad took me.
    Apparently also Chas had the f40 shipped back to Italy to be fixed up after the crash, within that week

    He owned an F50 that i didnt know, i've been to tasmania and my grandparents live there (we go over there usally a couple of times each yr) but i never usally see any good cars, Targa being the exception.
