1989 Ferrari F40 "Competizione" - €2.312.500

Converted to competition specification by Martin Shaw's Specialised Cars of Manchester in the late 1990s, inspired by the Michelotto F40 LM race cars. Campaigned in the 2000 British GT Championship under Martin Shaw's SCS Motorsport banner. Uprated twin-turbo 2.9-liter V8 producing approximately 648 horsepower and 763 nm of torque. One of only an estimated 27 road cars converted for competition use by privateers. Long-term ownership under a single caretaker from 2002-2025.
The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car, built from 1987 until 1992, with the LM and GTE race car versions continuing production until 1994 and 1996 respectively. As the successor to the 288 GTO, it was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car.
Hugely collected and desirable the car changed hands at Broad Arrow. Here.
