F40 Rebuild

I know its not Lotus but we all like re build threads and this has taken my attention a little …

thats very cool :smiley:

Enjoyed…ing that, great find Andy.

Absolutely fascinating. Read every word,can’t wait for next instalment. Thanks, Andy

Utterly brilliant! Thanks for posting that Andy.

This is getting interesting now. Car is pretty much finished and it has run for the first time. It is a truly stunning piece of kit. Can anyone guess what this guy has spent in having this thing restored? Plus what is a concourse F40LM worth these days??

A fair bit I’d say!

A fair bit, do ya reckon!

Typical prices for F40 seem to be around 850K, and for an LM I guess its knocking on 1.2 mil ?

Doing some adding up I would think he has spent the best part of 200K on labour and probably 250K on parts - so maybe 500K by the time he has it fully finished ? That may be conservative actually considering the quality of the build

Would be nice if they have that test session at Anglesey over Easter :smiley:

I just read the latest instalments after signing up to the ferrarichat website.
I wondered about Anglesey, too

So as long as he paid less than £700k for it, he is still in the money. That is good man maths!
