Famously the final design to be signed off by Enzo Ferrari, the F40 of 1987 was initially forecast for a 400-strong production run in celebration of the marque’s 40th anniversary. However, Maranello records show that this figure eventually stretched to 1,315 units as buyers kept being enticed. Little wonder, given the intoxicating recipe of a lightweight Kevlar and carbon fibre construction being propelled by a twin-turbocharged 3-litre V-8 that delivered 478 horsepower to result in a top speed of 324 km/h.

Of those cars, chassis number 80763 offered here was completed on 27 July 1989 and delivered to its first owner one week later on 3 August via Garage Francorchamps SA in the Belgium capital of Brussels. Built to European specification, this is an example of the highly sought-after “non-cat, non-adjust” configuration. A maintenance summary, which is available to view on file, indicates that the F40 was sparingly used during its early life. In September 1990, the odometer was noted at 1,763 kilometres before an October 1995 reading was taken at just 3,895 kilometres.

The Ferrari then moved to the United Kingdom in 1997, where it remained for more than two decades. Under the care of a new owner, the car was submitted to Italy in 2021 for a complete rotisserie restoration on the doorstop of the Ferrari factory. The mechanical overhaul was entrusted to Maranello-based specialist Carrozzeria Zanasi, while the bodywork and repaint were handled by Carrozzeria Egidio Bonfatti in Modena, prior to the application of paint-protection film at the front. The restoration has been captured in a complementing photo album, which is beautifully housed in a matching-colour carbon fibre and Kevlar case.

Once finished, the F40 enjoyed a momentous April 2022. That month, it was registered in France in addition to being awarded prestigious Ferrari Classiche certification in recognition of its matching-numbers chassis, body, engine, and gearbox. The car remained with its then-custodian until May 2023, at which point it was purchased by the consigning owner.

Alongside the photo album and “Red Book”, this F40 is accompanied by a tool roll, Agip tyre sealant kit, and a history summary compiled by marque expert Marcel Massini. He notes that the car was previously maintained by Ferrari dealer Motor Service of Modena and Graypaul Motors in the UK. The F40—fitted with a Tubi-style exhaust and harnesses but offered with its originals—displayed 17,300 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing.

Almost universally regarded as one of the great 20th Century automotive creations, this glorious “non-cat, non-adjust”, matching-numbers F40 would stand proud as a highlight among any curated car collection.
