Verkauft über We are Curated, mit diesen Informationen: «10’500 Kilometer. We are proud to present this stunning 1990 Ferrari F40, chassis #85515—an exciting and enjoyable example that stands out in both appearance and history. Finished in Argento Nürburgring, this F40 was tastefully upgraded with a period-correct LM kit, enhancing its aggressive stance and track-focused design. The LM kit is an homage to Ferrari’s racing legacy, blending perfectly with the F40’s already iconic silhouette. This particular F40 boasts a fascinating ownership history, having been delivered new by Ferrari directly to Sheikh Mohamed Yousef Zahid of Saudi Arabia. Shortly after, it found its way to Japan, where it was famously owned by eccentric collector and racer Koji Aoyama. Known for his passion for high-performance machines, Aoyama’s ownership of this F40 is a testament to its unique appeal and capabilities. This car sat among some other interesting Ferraris, include a silver Enzo on aftermarket wheels and a silver/white F50. The combination of the color, period LM modifications, and its notable provenance makes this Ferrari F40 a one-of-a-kind find. With its blend of historical significance, performance pedigree, and individuality, chassis #85515 is a true collector’s and driver’s piece.»
