First owned by Sir Paul Vestey1990 Ferrari F40 BerlinettaRegistration no. G313 XPKChassis no. ZFFGJ34B000084104• UK Supplied. One of only 78 built for the UK market• Desirable non-catalyst non-adjust model• Four owners from new having covered just 17,789 Kilometres • Extensive service history, cambelts changed October 2020• Present ownership since 2015Footnotes:Introduced in 1988 to celebrate Enzo Ferrari's 40 years as a motor manufacturer, the iconic F40 was the ultimate supercar and is historically significant as the first production passenger car to have a claimed top speed of over 200mph. It is also the last Ferrari to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari prior to his death in 1988. A mid-engined, two-seater berlinetta, the F40 was a development of the limited-production 288 GTO and like the latter - but unlike the preceding 308 series - mounted its power unit longitudinally rather than transversely. Much had been learned from the development of the Evoluzione version of the 288 GTO - intended for the soon-to-be-abandoned Group B competitions - which enabled Ferrari to take the F40 from drawing board to dealers' showrooms in just 13 months. A 2,936cc quad-cam V8 with four valves per cylinder, the F40 engine employed twin IHI turbochargers to liberate 478bhp (approximately 352kW) at 7,000rpm. For the seriously speed-addicted, this could be boosted by 200bhp by means of a factory tuning kit. Of equal, if not greater, technical interest was the method of body/chassis construction, the F40 drawing on Ferrari's Formula 1 experience in its use of composite technology. A one-piece plastic moulding, the body was bonded to the tubular steel chassis to create a lightweight structure of immense rigidity. The doors, bonnet, boot lid and other removable panels were carbon fibre. Pugnaciously styled by Pininfarina, the F40 incorporated the latest aerodynamic aids in the form of a dam-shaped nose and high rear aerofoil. Despite the need to generate considerable downforce - and with a top speed of 201mph, higher than the take-off speed of many light aircraft, the F40 needed all the downforce it could get - the result was a commendably low drag coefficient of just 0.34. The F40's interior reinforced its image as a thinly disguised race-car, with body-contoured seats, an absence of carpeting and trim, and sliding Plexiglas windows. When it came to actual competition, race-prepared F40s more than held their own and in the Global GT series proved quicker on many circuits than McLaren's F1 GTR. Autocar concluded its test thus: 'on a smooth road it is a scintillatingly fast car that is docile and charming in its nature; a car that is demanding but not difficult to drive, blessed as it is with massive grip and, even more importantly, superb balance and manners. You can use its performance - the closest any production carmaker has yet come to race car levels - and revel in it....there's little doubt it is the very personification of the term sports car.' Even today the F40 has the power to impress. Launched in the UK with an asking price of around £185,000, the F40 was changing hands at the height of the late '80s supercar boom for up to half a million pounds. When production ceased in 1992 only 1,315 of these quite exceptional cars had been completed. Today, much of the F40's enduring appeal is the fact that it is one of the last great 'analogue' supercars, designed and built at a time when the driver was expected to be in full control and before the introduction of electronic interventions in the form of anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and paddle-shift automatic gearboxes, which have since become the norm. It also lacked a brake servo, air conditioning, interior door handles, and power steering... As Ferrari marketing executive Giovanni Perfetti explained: 'We wanted it to be very fast, sporting in the extreme and Spartan. Customers had been saying our cars were becoming too plush and comfortable. The F40 is for the most enthusiastic of our owners who want nothing but sheer performance.' Even so, the F40 could not remain unaffected by the march of technological progress, gaining refinements such as ABS, catalytic converters, and adjustable suspension as development progressed. As one would expect, it is the early F40 representing the model in its purest and most basic form that is of the greatest interest to collectors. A desirable non-cat, non-adjust model, this particular F40 was delivered new in the UK to one of Ferrari's most favoured customers: gentleman racing driver Sir Paul Vestey, who had bought his first Ferrari, a 250 GT SWB, at only 21 years of age. He would go onto own and race several other Ferraris as a privateer, including a 275 GTB Competizione and a 250 LM, crossing swords with the crème de la crème of the international sports car racing fraternity. Sir Paul Vestey is well known to the Bonhams motoring team and we contacted him recently for his memories of '84104'. He recollects travelling to Italy to collect it: 'We had a great time picking the two cars up at the factory - Willie Tuckett and Andrew Fletcher were in the other one. We then drove up to La Reserve in Beaulieu - we arrived about five hours before Willie as he got lost in Genoa! Then up to the Georges Blanc at Vonnas and finally on to the coast where there was a gale blowing and our ferry crashed into the dock. It was a brilliant trip! In 1993 I sold it to John Mexborough so it has a very titled history...' The Earl of Mexborough kept the Ferrari until 2006 when ownership passed to Mr Iqbal Abdullah, who enjoyed the car for some nine years before it was sold to the current vendor in 2015.Originally registered in the UK as 'PEV 1', '84104' is one of only 78 Ferrari F40s built for the UK market, only 20 of which were 'non-catalyst' models like this one. Ferrari purists will tell you that a non-cat F40 is the more desirable. Supplied with its original service book, this F40's service history is exemplary. Commencing on 27th February 1990 with Maranello, Egham at 1,924 kilometres and progressing via 21 further services throughout its life to the most recent with Stratstone on 16th October 2020 at 17,763 kilometres (the current odometer reading is 17,789). During the current owner's tenure Stratstone have serviced the car in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The recent service included the all-important cambelt change. In 2015, Stratstone carried out a 250 man-hours mechanical restoration and detailing. Since when the Ferrari has been driven only once: around the Isle of Man and maintained in secure storage. Photographs of the Stratstone rebuild are on file and the car also comes with copies of all the original factory paperwork and correspondence relating to its order and purchase. This wonderful, four owner, UK supplied F40 offers a ticket to enter a very exclusive owners club Reacquainting himself with the F40, F50, and Enzo Ferraris for Octane magazine (July 2014 edition) racing driver Mark Hales declared: 'The F40 is for me, the special one. Not just because I have spent so much time in them, but because it was such an explosive, other-worldly creation when it first appeared, and it still retains much of that character.' Enough said.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A 'C16', right-hand drive, 993 RS with only 16,117 miles from newThe 1995 Carrera RS provides some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car3.8-litre flat-6, VarioRam intake and remapped ECU create 300bhp fed to the rear wheelsLarge fixed wing on the back with integrated ram intakes and a deep chin spoilerThe 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911A very special C16, UK supplied right-hand drive with only 16,117 miles from newFinished in black, this very special car has led a noble life having been part of the private collections of the Earl of Mexborough and Lord BamfordWhilst the 964 Carrera RS, that debuted several years earlier, is seen as uncompromisingly hardcore, the 1995 model year benefitted from all the work that had been done developing the new 993 platform. Nearly 80% of the parts were specifically engineered for this next generation and a new alloy subframe served as the base for the redesigned multi-link rear suspension. Generally, this improved stability along with ride quality and reduced the tendency for the car to oversteer off-throttle like the older cars. Along with the other improvements, too quantifiably large to list, Porsche had created the best 911 to date.It would only get better with the arrival of the new RS, much of the focus having been spent on reducing weight. Electric windows, adjustable mirrors, central locking, headlight washers, and audio speakers were all luxuries sacrificed in the name of speed. However, the extensive diet did not stop there. Porsche even went so far as to reduce the size of the windshield washer bottle and decrease the thickness of the glass. Well-bolstered leather bucket seats saved an additional 66lbs and sound insulation was removed throughout the car. Simple door cards with pull straps instead of door handles rounded off the extensive weight-saving measures. The car was powered by a 3746cc, DOHC Flat-6 with the VarioRam intake system and Motronic Engine Management combining to generate 300bhp at 6,500rpm fed to the rear-mounted, 6-speed manual transaxle. Four-wheel independent suspension, disc brakes all round and state of the art aerodynamics offered superb balance and the RS was capable of providing some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car.This, C16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 993RS has covered just 16,117 miles from new. Finished in black, this very special car has led an illustrious life, having been part of some significant private collections including the Earl of Mexborough and Lord Bamford. There are 9 stamps in the accompanying service book and the history file includes all the manuals/books, reams of invoices, past MOTs, spare keys and a detailed list of previous owners.This car has formed part of another significant collection for the past few years and in preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.The 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911 and, we imagine, will always be a Porsche 911 benchmark investment.
