Photos show that the F40 requires a lot of work to get it back on the road.
If the vehicle is in good enough condition and the owner has the funds to pay for it, even major damage can be repaired. You might be familiar with the Ferrari F40 which caught on fire in Monaco in February 2020. According to reports, the famous supercar’s owner decided to restore it, despite its charred state and a lot of aluminum and carbon fiber.
A post on the Ferrari Owners Club NL facebook group brought attention to the F40’s current, badly burned condition. A commenter on Ferrari Chat indicated that was a German dealer who purchased the F40 with the intent of restoring it. A photo was also posted of the truck picking up the car, which presumably meant that it would be transferred to its new owner.
These photos give a clear picture of the extent of the damage. Although the front looks great, the damage quickly escalates as you move around the vehicle. The driver’s side has been melted and much of the structure below is exposed. Even worse is the passenger compartment. It’s difficult to imagine any salvageable items in it. You can recognize the engine bay components at most, but it’s not something you would want to reuse for restoration.
If the information is correct and the owner plans to rebuild the F40 then there will be a mechanic who can bill for many hours from this project. There isn’t an F40 at every salvage yard where you can get replacement parts. Ferrari Chat users debated whether it was possible to restore the product given the extent and authenticity of the damage.
