Our Verdict
This 1991 Ferrari F40 is an exceptionally rare find with a remarkably clean MOT history, showing consecutive first-time passes stretching back over a decade. While running costs and maintenance will be stratospheric, its current mileage of 19,459 miles and stellar pass record make it a compelling collector opportunity.
When approaching a legendary supercar like the F40, verifying a comprehensive, stamped service history and provenance is infinitely more important than a standard checklist. Ensure you inspect the history for major engine-out services, fuel bladder replacement dates (as original rubber fuel cells have a limited lifespan), and turbocharger health. Negotiating on this vehicle should be done strictly through specialist Ferrari independent inspectors or marque experts who can authenticate the chassis, body panels, and mechanical components.
Running a Ferrari F40 is an exclusive financial commitment that bears no resemblance to standard motoring. Fuel economy will be poor when driven hard, road tax falls into the highest standard UK brackets, and specialist insurance requires agreed-value policies with strict security stipulations. Maintenance is exceptionally costly, requiring specialist servicing, frequent fluid changes, and preventative upkeep.
Typical annual running costs — factoring in specialist servicing, MOT testing, storage, and bespoke insurance — easily exceed £4,000 to £6,000 before fuel and consumable tyres.
Pay close attention to the composite body panels for stress cracks, blistering, or poor repairs, as the F40's carbon-kevlar weave is prone to age-related cosmetic issues. Review the MOT history notes carefully: testers in 2012 noted that under-trays fitted obscured some underside components, meaning removal of these panels is essential during a pre-purchase inspection to check the chassis frame for corrosion or fluid leaks. Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres, suspension bushes, and braking system, ensuring all components match the low-mileage profile of the car.
First registered in February 1991, this iconic Rosso Red Ferrari F40 features a 2936cc twin-turbocharged petrol engine and a remarkably consistent MOT record. The vehicle has covered low mileage, moving steadily from 15,794 miles in August 2010 to 19,459 miles by September 2025. Every single recorded test in our data resulted in a pass, with only minor advisory notes regarding under-trays obscuring underside components and a historical tyre issue noted back in 2011.
As a pure-bred homologation special, aggregate reliability data is sparse, but mechanically straightforward engines require meticulous, specialist-led maintenance to avoid catastrophic failure.
