The car is still there, but it’s not hard to see.

YouTuber and longtime FerrariChat member Ratarossa has an assignment if you accept it. The Prancing Horse lover wants an F40, but he is looking for a specific example. Ratarossa would like Uday Hussein to buy his F40. The vehicle is seen abandoned in Iraq. However, the Ferrari’s current location remains a mystery. Ratarossa needs your help to find the machine.

Uday Hussein was the child of Saddam Hussein, the dictator in Iraq. He was a terrible person just like his father. He tortured members of the Iraqi national soccer (soccer), team for not performing to his standards. However, he loved cars. A staff member was assigned to search the Internet for vehicles that were interesting and then fill a binder with information about each vehicle.According to a Time report from 200. Some accounts claim that Uday owned more than 1,000 cars at any one time – or at least, before.Many of them were burned by his father.

According to the Times story, Uday ordered the Fedayeen Saddam that he torch his cars instead of letting anyone else take them when the United States invaded Iraq. Ratarossa’s photos show that the F40 managed to escape the flames. The car was seen in different locations in photographs taken at different times, which suggests that it remained in the country.

Photos revealed that the Ferrari was in extremely poor condition, with missing parts in the engine bay and a damaged interior. There were also mismatched replacement parts, including one from Nissan. The restoration of the F40 will be a huge undertaking if Ratarossa is able to take possession.

Ratarossa has already found several leads in the comments of the YouTube video about where to begin his search. One person claims the car is located in Erbil, Northern Iraq. There’s also a Facebook video that shows it driving slowly as recently as April 4, 2020. The commenter does not provide a link to this clip.

According to another commenter, the F40 was purchased by an Iraqi collector about six months ago. The F40 had been stored in a garage for many years. However, the shop owner died.
