You're welcome! c'est sympa
Could someone tell me more about this one? Is it a real LM Michelotto or a "normal" F40 with LM kit? PS: the car is in Italy but I believe it comes from usa as the front part features the black line, typical of US F40s Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Could you please tell me how do you recognize a real Michelotto from a standard F40 with Michelotto kit? What are the differences between them? Thank you
There are literally dozens of features, components and spec differences between the 18 original Michelotto-built F40 LMs and a street F40 with a few LM mods that people erroneously refer to as F40 LMs. Start with the ride height and work up. With careful observation you can spot a street car right away. Hopefully these images of a genuine LM will help. http://www.joesackey.com/Galleria/Ferrari%20F40%20LM%20(88513)%20-%20Champion%20in%20the%20Making/ Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you so much for the informations. I noticed the F40 I posted has side vents over front wheels. Real Michelotto doesn't have them. It looks weird...
Umbertino, take time to read all 47 pages of this thread and you wil become quite easily an expert on F40 stradale, F40 LM, F40 GTE...! Good luck.
Yes, I should! As soon as I have time I'll do. This thread, like many others on this forum, is a great source of information!
Real GTE or replica? http://www.myvideo.de/watch/1511011/Teil1_F40_Ferrari_GTE_Michelotto_Umbau http://www.myvideo.de/watch/1510956/Teil2_F40_Ferrari_GTE_Michelotto_Umbau
Officially: around 1 000 000 $ Unofficially: I should say that we can have access to this marvelous car for 800 to 850 000 $ and more, depending on its story, races success, location (more expensive in US in any case) and much more important, the willingness of the owner to sale! I bought mine for 400 000 euros and sold it for 500 000 euros two years latter, not a bad deal anyway, but I am still looking for a new opportunity, the right one.
A seller can always try to sale at any price, and he can stay with his car for a very long time! is there a lot of buyers today for this kind of car at this price? is there a lot of this cars for sale as well? always the good old market point between buyers and sellers. I got proposal few months ago from real sellers at better price, as for real estate, there is always a big difference between requested prices and final agreed price! my 2 cents!
I would add that it is still nice to have something you can drive on the street rather than storing it in Maranello for those track holidays. Is 29 the correct number of original LM's? If so, look at what has happened to the 29 alloy MB 300SL's versus the other roughly 1300 steel MB 300Sl's.; $4mm versus $1mm.
I dont understand the parallel. The Alloy SL are still street legal. So eventhough there are only 29LMs, as you pointed out they will always have a much more limited use and therefore appeal. I remember debating with my father if we should sell the road F40 to purchase an LM that was not much more expensive than the road car back then but the limited use was the main reason why we didnt.
It was either 17 pr 19 original LM's, certainly not 29. Lack of opportunity to use is One of the reasons I am keeping my LM which I am restoring as road legal. Best of both worlds.
All my efforts are unsuccessful since... I try again, if anyone can help me ? Thank you. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
